Frends 6.0 Release Highlights:
Code Generator Assistant
Developers can now generate C# code directly within Frends using AI. The assistant understands the context of an integration and provides optimized code that aligns with the Frends low-code environment. This speeds up development, reduces errors, and eliminates the need for repetitive coding tasks. Developers can interact with the assistant, refine outputs, and ensure that generated code meets specific requirements.
Task Configurator Assistant
Configuring integration tasks manually can be complex and time-intensive. The AI assistant simplifies this by generating task configurations based on user input and system context. Instead of manually referencing documentation, users can describe their requirements in natural language, and the AI handles the setup, ensuring correctness and reducing configuration errors.
Automated Documentation Generation
Integration documentation is often a secondary priority but is essential for long-term maintenance and compliance. The AI-powered documentation generator automatically produces structured markdown documentation, summarizing the integration workflow, key components, and potential failure scenarios. This ensures transparency, aids troubleshooting, and simplifies knowledge transfer across teams.
Decision Model Notation (DMN) Support
Frends 6.0 introduces Decision Model and Notation (DMN) functionality within the Frends Process Editor, enabling more efficient data mapping and decision-making workflows. A new DMN shape allows users to define decision tables in a structured format, simplifying complex business logic automation. DMN inputs can be seamlessly associated with Frends variables, streamlining data handling and minimizing manual configuration. Based on input configurations, the DMN shape provides precise outputs that can be leveraged in subsequent integration tasks, improving accuracy and consistency in decision-based workflows.
AI with Governance and Security in Mind
While AI can enhance efficiency, it must be implemented responsibly. Frends 6.0 ensures:
- Data Control and Transparency: Users can review and manage what data AI processes, ensuring compliance with internal policies and regulations.
- Audit Logs for AI Interactions: Every AI-assisted action is logged, providing a clear record for security and compliance oversight.
- User Validation: AI suggestions are not auto-applied; developers always have the final decision to accept, modify, or discard AI-generated outputs.
Business Impact and Competitive Advantage
Frends 6.0 enables customers with:
-
Faster Integration Development: AI-assisted coding and configuration reduce development cycles and speed up deployment.
-
Lower Operational Costs: Automating repetitive tasks minimizes human effort and increases overall efficiency.
-
Improved Accuracy and Security: AI-generated configurations and documentation reduce the risk of manual errors and ensure best practices are followed.
Frends 6.0 is not just about AI for AI’s sake—it’s about delivering meaningful, practical improvements to integration development. To learn more about how Frends 6.0 can benefit your organization, visit our roadmap or request a demo today.
