# Generate intelligent enterprise apps you can trust with Oracle APEX AI Application Generator Oracle APEX AI Application Generator helps organizations use AI to create secure, scalable, data-driven enterprise applications on the Oracle Database. Oracle APEX's declarative low-code architecture gives AI a clear application model to work with, making it easier to generate, understand, customize, and maintain applications from any AI agent. Teams can move from business requirements to working applications faster, with AI accelerating development while developers stay in control. > The enterprise does not need another tool that simply generates more code. It needs a way to capture AI’s development speed without transferring the cost into security exposure, governance complexity, and complex maintenance. APEXlang is notable because Oracle is not trying to compete with the leading coding agents. Rather it gives those agents a structured target, then uses the established APEX and Oracle AI Database stack to manage execution, data access, and security. That is a key distinction for Oracle customers. > And with APEXLang, Oracle leverages exactly this architectural differentiator by generating application-defining artifacts with the help of AI agents. The result is artifacts that are more easily readable than the code generated by other platforms, all while operating on and inside Oracle AI Database. > The limits low-code platforms once treated as an embarrassment turn out to be their most durable asset, and the reason has nothing to do with development speed. A definition language narrow enough to review, sitting on a database that enforces policy whatever the definition says, is what decides in advance what your organization will still be holding in three years. This is bigger than one product launch. Low-code is being reborn on the very terms it used to apologize for, and other platforms with a runtime worth defending will land in the same place. ## AI-Powered App Development with APEX 26.1 Oracle APEX 26.1 introduces new AI-powered development capabilities to help teams build secure, trusted enterprise applications. ## Introducing APEXlang: the Application Definition Language APEX 26.1 introduces APEXlang, a declarative, human-readable application definition language for Oracle APEX applications. APEXlang gives developers and AI agents a supported way to express application intent as structured metadata that can be reviewed, versioned, governed, and executed by APEX. - Human-readable application definitions - Version, review, and govern application intent - A foundation for AI-assisted development ## Built on a foundation you can trust Oracle APEX runs on the Oracle Database, inheriting all of the enterprise-grade security and governance capabilities.  And trusting that your data will be secure is even more important in the age of AI. Developers build and deploy applications knowing that data access, user management, and application behavior are managed within a consistent, enterprise-ready environment. #### Database Security Oracle APEX is tightly integrated with Oracle Database security features, including encryption, data protection, and hardened infrastructure, ensuring your applications benefit from decades of proven innovation. #### Access control Define exactly who can see and do what with fine-grained control over users, roles, and data access—down to the row and column level when needed. #### Auditing Track and monitor application activity with comprehensive auditing capabilities, giving you visibility into user actions and helping support security reviews and investigations. #### Data Isolation Built on a secure, multi-tenant architecture, Oracle APEX ensures strong separation of data and workloads across applications and users, protecting sensitive information. #### Compliance Support regulatory and organizational requirements with features designed for governance, risk management, and compliance across industries and regions. #### Identity Integration Easily federate with popular identity providers (IdPs) to enable single sign-on and centralized identity management without complex configuration. ### AI Agents Automate workflows based on application logic and data context ### AI Interactive Reports Enable users to explore data using natural language ## Additional Enhancements in APEX 26.1 ### App Builder Enhancements across the development experience make Oracle APEX more efficient and intuitive, with features like infinite scroll for LOV and autocomplete fields, a refined Page Designer with improved search and context-rich diff views, and Builder Extension backlinks that enable seamless integration directly into Page Designer or Workflow Designer. ### Workflow Expanded workflow capabilities include support for parallel flows, new APIs for greater extensibility and control, and built-in multi-tenancy awareness to better support complex, scalable application architectures. ### Universal Theme Updates to Universal Theme introduce a refreshed Oracle-branded look and feel, enhanced accessibility, and Font APEX 2.5, along with modern development features like client-side partials, template directives, and improved autocomplete support for a faster, more flexible UI experience. ### Security Security enhancements strengthen how applications connect and operate, with REST data source support for Dynamic OAuth scopes, signed assertions, and password flows, along with CSP improvements, stronger Fusion Extensions security, and new workspace-level SMTP controls for better governance and protection. ### Components Component enhancements expand what you can build declaratively, with support for buttons and menus, new actions like Show Success and Error, and a built-in Wait Popup, alongside map region improvements including vector tile layer support and greater JavaScript control for richer, more interactive experiences. ### Translations A new message-based translation model simplifies how applications are localized, making it easier to manage and update translations without the need for maintaining shadow applications. ## Trusted by the world’s leading organizations ### NRI drives low-code innovation with Oracle APEX in financial services NRI modernizes critical back-office solutions for brokerage firms using Oracle APEX and Autonomous Database ### Munich Re HealthTech builds global SaaS in 4 months using APEX Using Oracle APEX, Munich Re HealthTech cut manual effort, supported strict data-residency demands and launched AI chatbots handling 90% of questions. ### Trailcon Leasing accelerates enterprise apps 10× faster with APEX Oracle APEX enabled Trailcon to automate business processes, reduce support calls by over half and maintain 99% uptime. ### Syneos Health adopts Oracle APEX to better manage clinical trials With Oracle APEX on OCI, Syneos Health centralized project delivery, improved data quality and cut five-year costs. ## Support Oracle APEX is a fully supported no-cost feature of the Oracle Database.
