- Develop smarter regardless of their current skill level

This pairing of AI and low-code gives development teams an advantage in several ways:

MxAssist acts as your intelligent virtual co-developer that helps you improve your app by inspecting your app model against 10+ years of Mendix development best practice data in Mendix Studio Pro.
- Validation Assist - which helps developers build validation microflows in a more automated way using pre-built expressions.
- Out-of-the-box connectors with AI platforms like AWS Bedrock. Read more about this partnership here.

Unlock Valuable Insights For Transparency and Control
With Mendix 10.6, you can unlock valuable insights into your application portfolio for better control and management. Because of the centralized nature of the platform application management, it is easy to provide transparency to stakeholders while at the same time reducing the challenge of juggling various elements like:
- Delivering on user requirements
- Optimizing system efficiency
- Safeguarding data
- And adjusting to changing technological trends and regulatory demands
Tyler Stubbs, Senior Solutions Architect and Technology Partner of Mendix at Nymbl has this to say about this latest important update:
“In my humble opinion, Mendix has always lead the pack regarding application management, having a cloud based dashboard for each and every app, to add and manage team members and roles, see the centralized team server where all the team's branches and mainline commits live, create build packages, and deploy them to your environments. Seeing 10.6 continue to emphasize and grow that application and data management at the portfolio level is truly industry leading, keeping it centralized, and helping keep the tough decision IT directors need to make, easy, on which low-code platform to run their business on.”
He adds, “The MxAssist AI bots have been a great addition since their inception years ago in Studio Pro development, and lastly, I could write a whole other blog post on the Mendix Solutions Kit and why that is the best thing Mendix can offer right now, allowing companies and teams with fewer resources and big ideas to go make their app, bring it to market, onboard clients, and manage upgrade rollouts. For now, we can surely get excited about and dig into 10.6.”
With this, Mendix 10.6 is becoming a game-changer in the world of enterprise software development. As Mendix does a lot already, it further simplifies the development process, unlocks insights, offers and promotes transparency, fully embraces AI-enablement, and ultimately breaks down team and data silos alike for the best possible outcomes. Mendix 10.6 empowers developers to achieve more with the same team and resources. Original Mendix article can be found here.
