Yes, in UnqorkAI, Smart Components are Unqork's solution to achieving the enterprise grade accessibility, security, governance, compliance and architectural standards in an AI first development landscape. Enabling endless flexibilitity with development while maintaining the enterprise grade standards we know our customers need.Unqork’s mission has always been to help customers reliably and securely manage complexity while controlling the costs of building and operating resilient enterprise systems. In the AI era, that mission becomes even more essential and UnqorkAI is designed to do just that.
Yes, the new IDE can be used on existing applications and has feature parity with previous designer versions.
Smart Components come with an all new build experience giving creators new features and visualizations for understanding and updating them.Creators will not only get a Input Data tester, but different visualizations for UI components, a brand new logic visualization view, in addition to Impact analysis which gives visibility into everywhere a reusable smart component is used across modules.
At this time UnqorkAI does not provide an MCP server for this purpose but this is being explored.
Agentic components allow customers to connect through the major platforms and current models, including Google Gemini, OpenAI, Vertex AI, AWS Bedrock, Anthropic, and Azure AI Foundry.Customers can connect through three primary methods:RESTful APIs: Connect directly to any external service that exposes a modern REST interface. Pre-configured Connectors: Accelerate setup using our GenAI Connector and ready-to-use modules for Gemini and OpenAI. Plug-In Components: Drag-and-drop components that turn integrations into simple, secure data-mapping exercises.
We continuously evaluate available Large Language Models to identify those best suited to our Build Agent in terms of accuracy, speed, and cost. UnqorkAI is architected to seamlessly switch to whichever model offers the best balance of these factors to ensure our customers always have access to the best build experience.
With UnqorkAI, Logic Smart Components are introduced as an alternative to the Data Workflow components available in previous versions of the platform of the Centauri runtime. Logic Smart Components deliver significantly higher performance and greater flexibility in the data transformations they support. They also provide unlimited branching and decision logic, and can be generated with much greater accuracy by the Build Agent.
The ideal user of UnqorkAI is a hybrid (operations, analyst, etc.) or technical (developer, architect, etc.) user. The long term vision is to enable experiences that meet the needs of a broader set of users.
Please contact your customer advocacy manager to discuss details and the available model, using this link.
The Build Agent does not directly integrate with Figma. However, it enables creators to upload image files to guide application design. Creators can export their Figma designs as image files and upload them to the build agent.
Yes, the UnqorkAI Build Agent can understand and work in the context of an application and takes related modules into account. If required, the build agent can design applications across multiple modules and implement complex architectures e.g. separating front- and backend or dedicated data structures stored across schema modules.
While a dedicated performance metrics dashboard is not included out of the box, application and service logs capture execution time data that UnqorkAI can leverage to monitor and analyze performance.
Full accessibility compliance testing is not yet available, but it is a core requirement for Smart Component code generation. Automatic validation will be added as part of the testing process soon.There is a manual ability to run an accessibility check, which will flag high severity accessibility issues that can then be sent to the agent to help remediate both for an individual smart component and a Module.In the future we're looking to extend tooling/visibility into the platform regarding accessibility.
UnqorkAI workflow applications are not supported by the AI Build Agent at this time.
Refer to the Unqork Shared Security Responsibility Model - https://unqork.com/resource-center/guides/unqork-platform-security/Customer Responsibility (Application Security): customers are responsible for the security of the specific applications they build on the UnqorkAI Platform - including access controls, configurations and APIs as well as performing application security reviews, monitoring application audit logs, and application compliance. Because UnqorkAI functions as an assistant builder, customers maintain full operational control and continue to be responsible for reviewing and approving all AI-generated outputs before deployment and on a periodic basis, as required to meet customer requirements. While Unqork provides a secure foundation where prompts generate security tested components, customers remain responsible for how components are configured and for any custom JavaScript introduced to extend capabilities.Unqork Responsibility (Platform Security): Unqork is responsible
