Discover some of GeneXus Next's most exciting innovations and benefits below. They enhance the powerful capabilities that GeneXus has always delivered.
You can run GeneXus Next on Mac, Windows, or Linux! The core of GeneXus has been rewritten in .NET 8.0, and it is full 64 bits, to give way to this new cross-platform edition, opening doors to a wider audience.
The User Interface layer has undergone a transformative update. Fully reimagined using cutting-edge web technologies, it introduces not only a sleek and intuitive interface but also fully integrated Dark Mode for a seamless modern experience.
At the heart of this redesign lies Mercury, GeneXus' open-source design system. Mercury ensures a cohesive, scalable, and visually compelling design framework, crafted to meet the diverse needs of developers and end-users alike.
GeneXus Next will provide two alternatives:
GeneXus Next Desktop is a complete rewrite of GeneXus (the one you have been using since GeneXus X) in every aspect.
You can execute a very simple installation on any platform like Mac, Windows, or Linux to have a local infrastructure that doesn't need an Internet connection (unless for using AI assistants for free).

This alternative is on its way to be released to provide a Cloud-based version of GeneXus Next. It will only require a Browser to be executed.
GeneXus Next Desktop contains AI assistants that help you create GeneXus objects and, in turn, these objects include other assistants to help you with configuration and codification. For example, AI assistants can help you model the database (i.e. create Transaction objects) and define queries (i.e. create Query objects). More importantly, under the hood it contains a complete and extensible engine that can handle the growing demand for assistants and link them correctly.
In addition, you can provide AI in the applications you define and generate with GeneXus Next Desktop. To do so, you can use the Agent object, the Embedding data type, the Chat User Control, and Agentic Workflows.
Last but not least, everything goes through Globant Enterprise AI which allows the necessary scaling of the platform and its independence from LLMs, regions, clouds, and cloud providers.
You can now experience the Text editors, improved Layout editors, and overall stunningly fast performance when executing GeneXus Next Desktop!
Certain objects like Transactions and SDTs contain Text editors, allowing you to type and/or copy definitions from Samples or other objects.
