The way we build software is being redefined. In this report, Forrester explores the rise of AppGen platforms—AI-powered systems that can generate, deploy, and evolve enterprise applications faster and more intelligently than ever before.

Generative AI and agentic platforms are changing everything.

Get expert analysis on how application generation is accelerating software delivery, transforming roles across IT and the business, and collapsing the standard SDLC into a faster, AI-driven process.

“Early attempts to meet this need may be seen in diverse and promising examples such as Microsoft’s Plan Designer, OutSystems’ Mentor, and prompt-to-app coding tools like Lovable—all of which aim to enable a true AI-first development experience.”
