The State of Application Development

Generative AI is reshaping software development across industries and expanding what’s achievable. Daunting digital transformation projects once considered impossible—such as costly and complex legacy modernization initiatives without a clear path to transformation—are now well within reach. 

Moreover, platforms that harness AI’s full potential are giving companies a competitive edge, empowering them to drive engagement and revenue with highly tailored customer-facing applications and boost productivity with smarter internal tools.

To discover the latest application development trends, OutSystems commissioned a third party to conduct a survey of nearly 1,700 global IT professionals. Their insights are captured in this report, which explores how generative AI-powered applications, AI-assisted development, and low-code are shifting the boundaries of possibility.
