Mendix 11.9 introduces a major evolution in low-code development by placing artificial intelligence at the core of the entire application lifecycle. Rather than delivering isolated feature updates, this release redefines how teams plan, build, deploy, and manage applications using AI-powered assistance. Maia now acts as a collaborative partner, supporting developers and business users from early ideation through production deployment.
The release addresses growing development complexity and accelerating business demands by embedding AI into everyday workflows. From refining project scope to generating application components and automating processes, Mendix 11.9 helps teams reduce manual effort while improving speed and consistency. The result is a smarter development experience that enables faster delivery and stronger alignment between business goals and technical execution.
Maia Plan helps teams define project scope more effectively by acting as an intelligent collaboration partner during early planning stages. Through guided interactions, Maia identifies missing details, suggests improvements, and strengthens clarity in project definitions. This enables both technical teams and business stakeholders to create structured and well-defined scope documents from the beginning.
With enhanced collaboration capabilities, teams can refine requirements iteratively and avoid misunderstandings later in development. By improving planning accuracy and reducing ambiguity, Maia Plan ensures stronger project alignment and better preparation before development begins, ultimately accelerating the transition from concept to execution.
Mendix 11.9 expands Maia Plan capabilities by introducing multi-file uploads and increased file size support. Teams can now upload multiple documents simultaneously, allowing richer project context to be shared in a single interaction. Providing broader input enables Maia to generate more accurate planning outputs and solution proposals.
This improvement reduces repetitive back-and-forth communication during planning cycles and improves collaboration efficiency. By analyzing detailed documentation upfront, Maia produces clearer project plans and more reliable scope definitions, helping organizations move faster while maintaining alignment across stakeholders.
Maia Make significantly enhances application development directly within Studio Pro by enabling conversational creation of application components. Developers can now generate workflows, modules, custom pages, and OQL elements alongside existing support for domain models and microflows, expanding AI assistance across more development areas.
Beyond generation, Maia can detect and automatically fix errors in supported artifacts, reducing manual corrections and context switching. Developers also gain finer control through selective undo functionality, allowing individual changes to be reverted without affecting the entire session. These improvements transform Maia into a true development companion that accelerates productivity.
Compass introduces Maia Vision and Goal Setting, helping organizations establish a clear low-code strategy before development begins. Many teams struggle with adoption due to unclear objectives, and Maia addresses this by guiding users through structured conversations that clarify goals and expected outcomes.
Through intelligent questioning and guided discussions, Maia helps organizations define measurable success criteria and create personalized vision statements. This structured approach removes uncertainty and provides teams with direction, ensuring their Mendix journey starts with alignment and purpose.
Mendix 11.9 advances agentic AI development by introducing agent editing directly inside Studio Pro. Developers can now design intelligent agents as part of the application model, integrating prompts, tools, workflows, and knowledge bases within a unified environment.
This integration allows agents to interact seamlessly with microflows and workflows while benefiting from version control and lifecycle management. By embedding agents into core application logic, Mendix enables smarter automation and decision-making capabilities that extend beyond traditional chatbot implementations.

Mendix 11.9 introduces major advancements in deployment and enterprise connectivity, including Portable App Distribution and the PWA Wrapper. These capabilities simplify application deployment by packaging dependencies into self-contained bundles while enabling web applications to achieve native-like mobile distribution.
Enterprise integrations are also expanded through Teamcenter BOM components, enhanced observability with Datadog tracing, improved access log monitoring, and stronger governance through OIDC SSO enhancements. These innovations help organizations deploy, manage, and scale applications securely while maintaining operational visibility.
