New AI based features for the rapid development and Appian Composer and upcoming plugin composer. Key new capabilities include the Appian MCP Server for natural language process insights, AI-assisted spec-driven development using Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration, and the ability to process visually complex documents natively with AI agents.

For smaller applications the licensing price is a killer. For larger, the effort to build solid systems is a significant one ...and then comes the license cost. Not sure if platforms like Appian will hold against systems that are being developed much quicker with GenAI. The UI and UX experience is good for a non tech person, but limits the more tech savy ones. For non tech people this can be a game changer when onboarding, and on the surface it builds a picture of a system that is great to work with. But then comes the reality. Integrations is a solid point of Appian, but with GenAI they should be achievable way quicker. The GenAI layer of Appian is not that strong in my opinion - both in building with AI, and in utilizing GenAI in business layer. It's also strange to see that you have to wait for a lot of things. Wait as in operations are taking way too long.
