GeneXus
Montevideo, Uruguay
What it is
GeneXus is an AI-powered low-code platform for creating and evolving mission-critical software from a Knowledge Base. Its deterministic generators create applications from a model for multiple technologies and platforms, including native Android and iOS apps. An Angular generator supports web and mobile front ends, while .NET and Java generators support web applications and backends. GeneXus for Agents lets AI agents work with Knowledge Base objects through skills, a CLI, and an MCP Server; the GeneXus engine validates changes. The platform supports REST and SOAP APIs, OpenAPI documentation, custom code integrations, and connections to external systems and databases. Named connections include OpenAI, AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Apache Kafka, and Azure Service Bus. GeneXus says applications can be deployed to cloud, on-premises, multi-cloud, or hybrid environments. It describes security as built into deterministic generation, with integrations supporting OAuth, encryption, and secure communication channels. Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Montevideo, Uruguay, GeneXus lists a free plan at no cost and a free trial.
