Progress Software Adds AI Capabilities to Telerik and Kendo UI for Agent-Ready Applications
Advancing software development from simple coding assistants to comprehensive agentic UI orchestration, automated modernisation, and enterprise data integration.
Progress Software has expanded its Telerik and Kendo UI platforms with new artificial intelligence capabilities designed to help developers build applications that can work not only for human users but also for AI agents.
The latest release reflects the growing shift from simple AI-assisted coding towards more advanced, agent-ready applications. New capabilities have been introduced across UI generation, debugging, application modernisation, document processing and data interaction.
Architectural Advancements & Core Additions
Progress Agentic UI Generator
One of the key additions is the Progress Agentic UI Generator, which aims to simplify the creation of user interfaces while incorporating accessibility considerations directly into the development process. This could help development teams reduce manual effort and build more inclusive applications from the outset.
Fiddler Agent Skills
Progress has also strengthened its debugging tools through Fiddler Agent Skills, allowing coding assistants to gain visibility into network activity, identify potential issues and recommend solutions within the development environment.
Document Intelligence & WebMCP
For document-heavy workflows, the updated Telerik Document Processing Libraries can support tasks such as extracting structured information, analysing Excel files, converting formats and generating documents. The company has also introduced WebMCP, enabling AI agents to interact more directly with application interfaces instead of relying on traditional screen-scraping methods.
Modernisation & RAG-as-a-Service
The release further focuses on modernising legacy applications, including automated conversion support for WinForms projects, while RAG-as-a-Service capabilities can help .NET applications connect large language models with unstructured enterprise data.
As businesses increasingly explore agentic AI, the latest updates position Telerik and Kendo UI as tools aimed at helping developers build more intelligent, accessible and AI-ready applications.
