Progress OpenEdge AI Assistant Whitepaper

For some developers, working with AI is already a straightforward, daily interaction but for many others, it’s still unknown territory. In the Progress OpenEdge ecosystem, where long-established codebases, evolving business requirements and the ongoing adoption of new technologies converge, we also find ourselves at a time of digital transformation in enterprise applications.

The Progress OpenEdge AI Assistant (formerly known as OpenEdge MCP Connector for ABL) emerges as a direct response to new challenges where AI becomes a meaningful part of daily workflows.

This whitepaper explores the journey behind the Progress OpenEdge AI Assistant, the lessons that shaped its design and the impact it brings to OpenEdge development, especially in the context of OpenEdge 12 upgrades and modernization.
