- Outsystems’ Agent Workbench helps companies and solo developers and manage agent AI systems
- Early adopters report effectiveness gains from new AI agent’s workflows
- General release adds marketplace, model context protocol and wider LLM compatibility
Outsystems has announced the general accessibility of Agent Workbench, a new platform designed to help companies develop and manage agent AI systems.
The low-code development company revealed the news at its annual one-conference in Lisbon, an event that brings together IT leaders, developers and partners to explore progress in software and AI.
Agent Workbench, first revealed in July, is intended to enable organizations to create and coordinate intelligent agents across different workflows and data sources.
To bring older systems into the future
Outsystems say that although most companies are experimenting with agent -based AI, many face challenges related to governance, security and integration.
“When used strategically, Agentic AI is one of the most powerful handles for corporate innovation and transformation, to allow organizations to create value faster, optimize workflows and bring older systems into the future,” said Woodson Martin, CEO of Outsystems.
“Agent Workbench gives companies the infrastructure to achieve unprecedented results with agent systems while maintaining critical observability and control. Our early admission program participants have already realized impressive gains with the agent’s work bench and placed them as industry leaders to navigate the agent’s future,” Martin said.
Of the companies that have already tested the platform, Thermo Fisher Scientific used it to build a customer appendic agent that cuts manually work and speed resolution, while the Arch company replaced spreadsheet-driven processes with an agent that automatically classifies and routes queries.
In India, Grihum Housing Finance implemented agents to streamline loan insurance and property evaluations that address inconsistent manual workflows.
The general release includes new features such as an agent market and support for the model context protocol connecting agents with business systems and external tools.
It also expands the compatibility to include a wide range of large language models from major providers including Openai, Anthropic, Google, IBM and others.
Outsystems founded in Lisbon focuses on helping companies build and manage applications quickly and recently use AI in software development.
Agent Workbench is available in ODC and Outsystem Personal Edition (in testing only) and costs 20k euros; However, if you are using Agent Workbench to launch an agent by the end of 2025, it will be free in the duration of an existing contact.
