As AI reshapes software development, vision matters. That’s why we’re proud to announce that the 2026 Gartner Magic Quadrant for AI-Augmented Low-Code Application Platforms recognizes OutSystems as a Leader, positioned furthest for Completeness of Vision.
In the report, Gartner defines AI-augmented low-code application platforms (AILCAPs). Our takeaway from the definition is that AILCAPs offer AI generation, agentic workflows, and governance to help developers and business users deliver enterprise apps faster. Model-driven tools, prebuilt component catalogs, AI code assistants, and AI agents accelerate development and provide collaborative environments where autonomous AI agents assist in delivery, runtime scaling, and governance.*
Here’s what our placement looks like on the Magic Quadrant for AILCAP.
OutSystems is furthest in Completeness of Vision based on the Gartner evaluation criteria, which includes Market Understanding, Innovation, and Product Strategy. We think this demonstrates that OutSystems offers enterprises a platform built to evolve with the next generation of AI.
From our perspective, the criteria in the 2026 Magic Quadrant validates our strategic direction as an agentic systems platform. This direction is part of our commitment to meeting the AI and agentic needs of our customers as they evolve. OutSystems provides an open platform for building, orchestrating, and governing agentic systems that customers can use to deliver business value.
Currently, organizations are evaluating how far to move AI into the core of their businesses. OutSystems has a long history of enabling companies to stay ahead of market shifts and ship custom solutions faster.
For example, Vopak, the world’s largest independent tank terminal operator, was telling its ERP replacement story at OutSystems events ten years ago. Now Vopak has launched an AI agent built with OutSystems and external AI tools that generates living technical and functional documentation, capturing the data model, BPM diagrams, roles, dependencies, integrations, and architectural reviews.
This is the 10th time in a row that OutSystems has been a Leader in this Gartner Magic Quadrant. In our opinion, that’s not only a testament to how OutSystems has long been the platform enterprises can trust for their most critical applications, but also to how the platform changes to meet new needs.
The one thing that the OutSystems platform of today has in common with that of a decade ago is that it’s the result of a strong vision and roadmap designed to keep pace with emerging technology. Ten years ago, it was mobile development. Today, it’s providing exactly what customers need to build their agentic futures. And our platform will continue enabling customers like YESCO and Lowenstein Sandler to take advantage of the latest advancements in AI and technology for the next decade and beyond.
