Progress Software today announced the Q4 2025 release of its flagship developer toolsets, Telerik and Kendo UI, which now include Agentic AI capabilities that let developers generate complete enterprise‑grade screens from natural‑language prompts. The new Agentic UI Generator produces fully styled, multi‑component page layouts that integrate seamlessly with Progress’s existing UI frameworks, enabling teams to cut development time by up to 50% according to early adopters.
The update adds twelve new AI coding assistants that claim to boost productivity by at least 30%, and introduces day‑zero support for .NET 10 and Angular 21. In addition, AI‑driven debugging features are integrated into Fiddler Everywhere, allowing developers to identify and resolve issues faster. The features are available for Telerik UI for Blazor, KendoReact, and Kendo UI for Angular, giving developers a broad choice of frameworks to leverage the new AI tools.
By embedding AI directly into the IDE, Progress aims to reduce the need for manual coding and accelerate time‑to‑market for customer‑facing applications. The company sees the new capabilities as a key differentiator that could open new revenue streams through premium AI‑powered add‑ons and higher adoption of its developer ecosystem. Early users report higher consistency and quality in the applications they build, suggesting that the AI features are already delivering tangible business value.
Loren Jarrett, EVP and GM of Digital Experience at Progress, said, "Instead of simply generating code with AI that requires review and revision, the Agentic UI Generator lets developers build production‑ready interfaces based on best practices from a single prompt. This marks an important milestone—not just for Telerik and Kendo UI, but for how modern applications will be built going forward." Jeremy Schaab, VP of Software Development at FYIsoft, added, "The new Agentic AI capabilities can fundamentally reshape how development teams build applications, offering an approach like no one else on the market. What once took days can now take hours. This isn’t just an incremental update—it’s a game‑changer for delivering modern apps faster and smarter."
The release aligns with a broader industry trend of integrating AI into developer tools to enhance productivity and accelerate development cycles. Progress’s move is part of a consistent AI push across its portfolio, including the recent launch of Progress Agentic RAG for Sitefinity in November 2025. While specific financial projections for the new AI features are not yet disclosed, the company’s strategy signals a shift toward monetizing AI‑powered development solutions and strengthening its competitive position in the rapidly evolving AI‑driven application development market.
The announcement underscores Progress’s focus on embedding AI into its core tools, complementing its broader strategy of embedding AI across its data platform, digital experience, and infrastructure management segments. By offering AI‑enabled UI generation and coding assistance, Progress is positioning itself to capture a growing market for rapid, code‑free application development and to drive adoption of its developer ecosystem in the coming years.
