## Introduction

With Mendix's agentic capabilities, you can build AI-powered features into your applications using leading AI models and your own data.

Mendix supports a variety of agentic and generative AI capabilities that you can integrate into your applications. Some typical use cases include the following:

* Create AI agents that autonomously interact with your Mendix app's data, logic, and external systems.
* Build conversational UIs with human-in-the-loop controls and embed AI-powered interactions directly into your Mendix applications.
* Connect application data and enterprise knowledge bases to provide grounded, context-aware AI responses.

{{% alert color="info" %}}
These pages focus on integrating agentic and generative AI into applications using Agents Kit. For AI assistance while building apps, see [Mendix AI Assistance (Maia)](/refguide/mendix-ai-assistance/). For pretrained machine learning models, see [Mendix Runtime](/refguide/runtime/).

{{% /alert %}}

### Getting Started

Start using AI capabilities based on your experience level:

* **Familiar with generative AI?** Start building with the [How to Build Smarter Apps Using GenAI](/agents/how-to/) guides.
* **New to generative AI?** Follow these steps:

1. Familiarize yourself with the [core concepts](/agents/get-started/), including prompt engineering, retrieval augmented generation (RAG), and function calling (ReAct).
2. Choose an architecture for your use case. See the [Components and Models](#architecture) section for available options.
3. Obtain the required credentials for your selected architecture.

## Components and Models {#architecture}

Integrate AI capabilities into your applications with Agents Kit, a collection of Mendix starter apps, connectors, and modules that support implementations from simple text generation to complex multi-step agentic workflows. The following sections describe the components available in the kit as well as the available models.

### Agents Kit Components
