## Introduction
14
-
15
-
With Mendix's agentic capabilities, you can build AI-powered features into your applications using leading AI models and your own data.
16
-
17
-
Mendix supports a variety of agentic and generative AI capabilities that you can integrate into your applications. Some typical use cases include the following:
18
-
19
-
* Create AI agents that autonomously interact with your Mendix app's data, logic, and external systems.
20
-
* Build conversational UIs with human-in-the-loop controls and embed AI-powered interactions directly into your Mendix applications.
21
-
* Connect application data and enterprise knowledge bases to provide grounded, context-aware AI responses.
