OutSystems Unveils ‘Agentic Systems Engineering’ to Streamline Enterprise AI Development

OutSystems has introduced a new framework called Agentic Systems Engineering, designed to help enterprises build and manage AI-driven software systems with greater control, security and architectural consistency.

The announcement comes as AI-generated code continues to surge, reshaping software development but also creating challenges around quality, integration and governance. While new tools have accelerated development, enterprises often struggle with fragmented architectures and legacy systems that limit scalability and coherence.

OutSystems said its new approach addresses these issues by embedding context and guardrails into AI-driven workflows.

At the core of the framework is the Enterprise Context Graph, a system designed to provide a real-time, high-fidelity view of enterprise architecture, including applications, workflows, data and dependencies. This enables AI agents to operate with a deeper understanding of business systems, improving reliability and compliance.

“AI is creating more change, across more tools and surfaces, than ever before—but enterprises still need that change to be governed, secure, and production-ready. Agentic Systems Engineering is our answer to that challenge. With the Enterprise Context Graph and the next generation of Mentor, OutSystems gives organizations the context, connection, and control they need to use agentic tools across complex systems and deliver real enterprise outcomes,” said Woodson Martin, OutSystems CEO.

The framework is integrated into the company’s updated Mentor tool, which offers a conversational development experience within the platform’s IDE. Mentor enables developers to generate applications, automate repetitive coding tasks and maintain architectural coherence, effectively shifting their role toward system design and oversight.

OutSystems emphasised an open ecosystem approach, allowing developers to use external tools such as Claude Code, OpenAI Codex and Cursor while operating within shared governance controls. This ensures consistent standards across environments.

Early adopters, including Kent State University, valantic, AllianceCorp Manufacturing and SRS Distribution, reported faster development cycles and improved productivity. OutSystems plans to launch an early access program for the new capabilities in the second quarter of 2026.

“With Mentor, we can build a front-end and initial business logic to show a stakeholder in just a few days, whereas before it would take us weeks. That speeds up the overall development process tremendously,” said Mattheus Benitez, SRS Distribution Inc Technical Team Lead.
