Mendix, a leading enterprise low-code platform, has announced the addition of new artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) capabilities to its platform. The new ML Kit on Mendix 10 allows enterprises to build applications that incorporate custom AI models with their desired AI frameworks and languages in a low-code environment. The runtime of Mendix has been updated to support the execution of Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX)-based models, making it easy to import pretrained models to the IDE and integrate them into applications. This feature allows for support for various inference patterns and pre- and post-processing logic.
Furthermore, applications with embedded AI-enhanced models are performed using the same container in low-code environments, resulting in lower latency and improved user experience. The Mendix Assist Best Practice bot provides end-to-end real-time AI assistance for developers that allow them to implement software development best practices. Additionally, the Data Validation bot helps build validation logic in an automated way using pre-built expressions. These enhancements enable a broader range of developers to create applications using AI technology, ensuring the highest level of quality in software development.
Mendix’s new AI and ML capabilities address the urgent market need to integrate and deploy AI into applications faster, with ease and better security. Many companies have shelved successful AI-focused pilot programs due to time constraints, talent shortages, cost, and complexity. Mendix’s new AI and ML capabilities provide a solution to these issues as they offer a low-code environment, making it possible for anyone to create AI-enhanced applications without the need to code from scratch. Overall, Mendix’s AI and ML enhancements offer increased efficiency and accuracy, accelerating time-to-market while ensuring data and IP security remains within the Mendix ecosystem.
