Title:
How can we access the source code of AI Agent Builder (ODC Forge)?
Description:
Hello OutSystems Community,
I'm using OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC).
I installed the AI Agent Builder Forge asset. However, when I try to open the AIAgentBuilder application in ODC Studio, I receive the following error:
"The app 'AIAgentBuilder' is a protected app and can't be opened."
My requirement is to understand the internal implementation of AI Agent Builder.
I would like to explore its:
Screens and UI components
Aggregates and database entities
Client Actions and Server Actions
AI model integration
RAG and data-source implementation
Agent execution workflow
Questions:
Is the source code of AI Agent Builder available to developers?
Is there any way to access its application model in ODC Studio?
Is the application intentionally protected by OutSystems?
Is there an alternative sample application containing the complete implementation?
I want to understand the architecture and implementation so that I can build similar AI Agent functionality in my own ODC application.
Thank you.
Hi Bhagyanjali Ravada,Unfortunately, no, you cannot access the source code of AI Agent Builder. AI Agent Builder is delivered as a protected OutSystems application. What you install from Forge is a productized asset, not an open-source sample. The message:
“The app 'AIAgentBuilder' is a protected app and can't be opened.”
means its application model (screens, actions, entities, flows) is intentionally not accessible in ODC Studio. This is similar to other OutSystems system modules or protected components. OutSystems uses it as part of the platform to provide GenAI capabilities in a governed, upgradeable way. I would however suggest you look at using the current capabilities offered by ODC in terms of calling agents. AI Agent Builder was delivered as an accelerator for Gen AI capabilities until it's capabilities were included natively into the platform, and they currently are.Check out the documentation here : https://success.outsystems.com/documentation/outsystems_developer_cloud/building_apps/build_ai_powered_apps/agentic_apps_in_odc/Thank youPaulo
