GeneXus for Agents is a new capability of GeneXus that allows AI agents to interact directly with a GeneXus Knowledge Base through a standard protocol. It was publicly released on April 1, 2026.

In simple terms, it extends GeneXus so that tools like Globant CODA, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex can read objects, propose changes, generate auxiliary code, and explore the existing system without relying exclusively on the traditional IDE.

The key difference is this: agents can propose, but GeneXus continues to validate and generate using its deterministic engine. This includes normalization, impact analysis, and enforcement of business rules. In other words, the speed of agents is combined with the consistency, governance, and built-in knowledge of GeneXus.

GeneXus for Agents allows AI agents to work on the GeneXus Knowledge Base, while GeneXus preserves validation, consistency, and deterministic code generation.

How does it work?

GeneXus for Agents adds an interaction layer so AI agents can operate on the Knowledge Base in a more natural and structured way. To achieve this, GeneXus objects can be represented in a textual format that agents understand more easily, making it simpler to read, modify, and validate changes before integrating them back into the KB.

This approach enables working with GeneXus from modern environments compatible with MCP, expanding how developers and agents collaborate throughout the software development lifecycle.

What does GeneXus for Agents enable?

GeneXus for Agents enables a new way of developing with GeneXus:

• Allows AI agents to operate directly on the Knowledge Base
• Extends work beyond the traditional IDE
• Facilitates collaboration between people and AI agents over a living knowledge base
• Maintains system control through GeneXus’s deterministic validation

Why does it matter?

Because software development is entering a stage where not only humans are involved. Assistants, agents, workflows, and external tools are also part of the process. GeneXus for Agents brings this dynamic into the GeneXus ecosystem without losing what matters most: durable knowledge, governance, and build quality.

It’s about incorporating coding agents into the development process without sacrificing traceability, consistency, or control.

How much does it cost and who can use it?

GeneXus for Agents is available at no additional cost for all GeneXus users who are up to date with maintenance and use GeneXus Next or GeneXus 18. Those working with older versions (GeneXus 15, 16, or 17) who want to use this functionality will need to upgrade to GeneXus 18.

To migrate to a compatible version, it is recommended to contact Globant’s Fast Code Studio or GeneXus partners.

Why try it?

Because it changes how you work with GeneXus.

Instead of thinking of the IDE as the only entry point, GeneXus for Agents opens the possibility of collaborating with agents from new environments and workflows. This accelerates exploration, reduces friction, and makes it more natural to integrate agent-based capabilities into enterprise application development.

The best way to understand its potential is to use it, test it, and discover where it adds the most value within your development process.
