We're launching the GeneXus for Agents Quick Start

The guide, available in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, is aimed at GeneXus users looking to integrate AI agents into the development cycle.

We are announcing the launch of the GeneXus for Agents Quick Start, an introductory guide designed to support the GeneXus Community in taking its first steps with this technology. The material details how to integrate agents into the development cycle to query information, analyze context, and propose changes within an environment validated by the Platform's deterministic engine.

The content is available in English, Spanish and Portuguese, and is aimed at developers and technical teams who want to begin working in agentic development scenarios, in which AI agents actively collaborate on development tasks using the structured business knowledge already modeled in GeneXus.

GeneXus for Agents is available at no cost to users with current maintenance who use GeneXus Next or GeneXus 18. In cases where the KB is on an earlier version, it must be migrated to GeneXus 18.

"This is the recommended entry point for getting started with GeneXus for Agents. It's an on demand training, designed for GeneXus developers of all levels who want to learn how to incorporate coding agents into GeneXus 18 or GeneXus Next KBs," says Alejandra Pereiro, GeneXus Training Manager.
 

What does the GeneXus for Agents Quick Start include?

The course is built around a central idea: in an agentic development environment, agents can add speed, but business knowledge, KB structure, and the rules defined in GeneXus remain essential to maintaining consistency and control.

The content is organized into eight modules:
  • Why choose GeneXus today

Presents the context of agentic development and the place GeneXus occupies in this landscape.
  • From writing code to directing an agent

Addresses the changing role of the developer in agent assisted workflows.
  • How agents connect with the KB

Explains how the MCP protocol works and the way agents interact with the Knowledge Base.
  • GeneXus Skill (Nexa)

Introduces GeneXus Skills and how they provide platform specific context so agents can operate with greater precision on the KB.
  • Environment setup

Details the steps to install GeneXus Next and get the MCP server ready to receive connections.
  • Creating a KB from scratch

Shows how to use an agent to start a new Knowledge Base from the command line.
  • Working on an existing KB

Explains how to bring agents into ongoing projects without abandoning the work already done.
  • The GeneXus IDE

Describes the role the IDE continues to play within this new workflow and how it coexists with agents.

About GeneXus for Agents

GeneXus for Agents, launched on March 31, 2026 as part of the GeneXus Next 2026.01 update. The technology exposes GeneXus as an MCP server, allowing AI agents to interact with Knowledge Bases through the platform's validation mechanisms.

With this integration, teams can work with coding agents such as Globant CODA, Claude Code, or OpenAI Codex to read objects, propose changes, generate auxiliary code, and explore existing systems, expanding the ways of interacting with the KB beyond exclusive use of the IDE.

GeneXus's deterministic engine remains unchanged. Code continues to be generated with semantic validations, normalization, and impact analysis at every step. What changes is the way teams interact with the KB in this new context.
