Nextworld Platform 25.2: Ambient AI, Visual Workflows for ERP  

Key Takeaways

Nextworld's Platform 25.2 introduces always-on ambient AI agents that autonomously handle repetitive tasks, enhancing operational efficiency while allowing for human oversight.

The new Visual Workflow Builder simplifies workflow automation with an intuitive graphical interface, enabling technical and non-technical users to design and manage processes.

Developer Studio centralizes development and testing, featuring tools that facilitate faster application building and innovation, ultimately empowering organizations to scale ERP automation with reduced reliance on IT.

As AI-powered tools become more accessible, business leaders face pressure to modernize their enterprise systems and go beyond static data management.

Nextworld’s Platform 25.2 launched several capabilities that expand the reach of agentic AI. It also offers an upgraded visual automation toolset, making it easier to design and orchestrate complex workflows. Together with usability enhancements, these updates aim to simplify development tasks and speed innovation across the enterprise.

Vito Solimene, founder and CTO at Nextworld, said, “Nextworld’s native AI capabilities are both powerful and accessible, ensuring that our platform can evolve and adapt to keep cutting-edge technology in the hands of our customers and the businesses they run.”

The Rise of Intelligent, Autonomous Agents

Platform 25.2 introduces ambient AI agents that can operate continuously on a set schedule or in response to in-app events.

These always-on agents are embedded into the core of the Nextworld Platform and act autonomously using real-time data. Human oversight can be adjusted as agents learn preferences, allowing workflows to run more efficiently while retaining control.

Nextworld provides a library of prebuilt agents, but organizations also can design and deploy agents tailored for specific business needs. This flexibility allows companies to automate a wide range of repetitive tasks, from finance reconciliations to supply chain updates, without relying on IT or developer intervention.

The platform’s AI assistant, Ed, also received significant improvements.

Ed is now able to generate logic blocks on demand, which helps developers jumpstart application logic and speed up development cycles. This feature supports technical and non-technical users by simplifying complex workflow creation.

Ed’s Human-in-the-Loop functionality has been upgraded as well: Ed can ask clarifying questions to ensure it fully understands user intent before executing functions. This improves the accuracy of automated workflows and reduces the risk of errors.

Smarter Workflows, Enhanced Development Environment

Platform 25.2 also introduces the Visual Workflow Builder, a graphical interface that transforms how customers design and manage workflows.

Previously, developers worked in a tabular environment that could be cumbersome and difficult to navigate. The new builder allows teams to automate and orchestrate transactional business processes visually.

Alongside these workflow improvements, Nextworld upgraded its development environment, now called Developer Studio. The upgrade creates a more intuitive and integrated development experience. Users launching object-type applications, like the Application Builder or Workflow Builder, are automatically directed into Developer Studio, streamlining the build process.

Developer Studio also introduces enhanced capabilities for testing and simulation. Developers can now validate LLM behaviors within the Agent Builder and Model & Prompt Definitions tools, ensuring AI-driven workflows function as intended.

Improvements to the visual app-building interface also make application creation more straightforward, enabling faster innovation.

What This Means for ERP Insiders

Always-on AI streamlines operations. Nextworld’s ambient AI agents automate repetitive tasks continuously, reducing manual errors and accelerating workflows. Organizations can configure agents to run on schedules or trigger on events, while retaining oversight. This capability empowers technical and non-technical teams to maintain operational efficiency and responsiveness across ERP processes.

Visual design makes workflow automation more intuitive. The Visual Workflow Builder replaces complex tabular development with an intuitive graphical interface. Teams can orchestrate transactional processes more clearly, reducing development complexity and improving productivity. This tool makes it easier for business users and developers to design, test and deploy workflows that align with enterprise goals.

Integrated development tools accelerate innovation. Developer Studio centralizes application building and testing within a more intuitive environment. Features like logic block generation, prompt simulation, and streamlined app-building enable faster deployment of AI-driven workflows. By reducing technical barriers, organizations can innovate more quickly and scale ERP automation without relying solely on IT teams.
