INSIGHT

Customer-Centric AI Wins

OutSystems focuses on applying AI to deliver measurable customer impact rather than chasing hype.
Woodson Martin emphasizes customers plugging agents into existing apps to drive fast productivity gains.

INSIGHT

Unified Platform Simplifies Agentic AI

Building agentic systems requires combining data, workflows, observability and governance, not stitched tools.
Woodson argues a unified platform collapses that lifecycle and makes iteration feasible.

ANECDOTE

Agent Workflows With Mixed Models

Customers mix and match LLMs for different agent steps and keep full execution history as grounding data.
That history becomes training input and speeds agent learning and iteration in one place.

The future of enterprise software isn’t more apps, it’s agentic systems.

In this special episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan sits down in Miami with Woodson Martin, CEO of OutSystems, for a candid, no-hype conversation about what actually works in enterprise AI.

While most AI discussions focus on tools and demos, this episode goes deeper into how CIOs, CTOs, and enterprise leaders should design, govern, and scale agentic AI systems in the real world.

You’ll hear why:

→ Enterprise AI can’t succeed without governance, observability, and accountability.
→ Agentic AI must be built on top of existing systems, not replace them.
→ A unified platform matters more than stitching together tools.
→ “Vibe coding” empowers professional developers instead of replacing them.
→ AI ROI comes from augmenting hardened systems, not rebuilding everything.
→ The current AI hype cycle may burst, but agentic systems are here to stay.
→ Long-term success depends on customers owning capability, not renting it.
→ Why the OutSystems community is becoming one of the most AI-ready enterprise developer ecosystems in the industry.

✔️ Developers building agentic systems at scale
✔️ Leaders navigating AI governance, compliance, and ROI
