development, resulting in a faster and more productive development experience.
Use Compass for guided onboarding
New to low-code or Mendix? Compass, our new built-in onboarding tool, is engineered to unite IT and business for strategic, results-driven adoption.
With Compass, you’re assigned a dedicated Customer Success Manager for expert onboarding tailored to your enterprise’s digital transformation journey.
Let user insights guide development
We redesigned the App Insights Feedback Module with customizable UX, styling, and messaging so you can tailor the feedback experience to match your brand.
Updates also include the ability to send feedback directly to Jira or Zendesk, making it easy to manage and execute insights without additional tools.
More multilingual support
Mendix now offers more multilingual support to enhance the develop experience. When you communicate with Maia Chat, it detects the language and responds accordingly.
Our Studio Pro IDE is now fluent in German, Japanese, Korean, and Chinese languages.
Design more engaging pages
Use our new UI Recommender for a faster, more intuitive UK-building experience. Plus, our new X-ray mode in the page editor helps you better visualize certain structural elements of your page while still in design mode.
Manage risk and costs while
safeguarding value
Gain more visibility into the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and use
enhanced AI-driven controls to manage, govern, secure, and deploy applications.
Guarantee code quality
Automate software delivery with Pipelines by leveraging the new Maia Best Practice Recommender and Jira integration. Maia will measure your code against best practices to ensure application quality and boost developer productivity.
Control your GenAI output
Ensure that the output from your GenAI model is contextually accurate and meets your organization’s standards. The Mendix Cloud Knowledge Base Resource Pack grounds your GenAI model with your own data by leveraging Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG).
Monitor GenAI spend
Get full visibility into your GenAI resource usage with the Token Consumption Monitor. Use this tool to track token consumption for individual apps or your entire portfolio on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis or set up a custom date range.
Integrate your portfolio with Jira
Integrate Portfolio Management with Jira to streamline SDLC management. This new capability reduces the time and effort spent managing data in multiple places by directly linking Jira with the Mendix Portfolio Board.
Filter out harmful content
Coming soon to Maia for Smart Apps: Content Filters, a new customizable governance feature that helps enterprises minimize harmful content and address sensitive topics like bias, hate, and profanity.
Content Filters give you the tools necessary to detect and flag certain types of content so you can promote consistent and responsible AI experiences.
