Putten, The Netherlands, April 04, 2025 – Rappit, the Enterprise Software modernization company, today announced the release of an innovative AI-led ‘reverse engineering’ capability that allows development teams to modernize core legacy systems smarter and faster.

Solving one of the biggest enterprise software pain points

This announcement comes at a time when enterprises are seeking innovative and streamlined approaches to enterprise software modernization. Modernization is challenging due to legacy system complexity, lack of documentation, skill shortages, and extended timelines. GenAI has emerged as a game-changer for modernization. Gartner predicts that by 2027, GenAI will be used to explain legacy business applications and create appropriate replacements, reducing modernization costs by 70%. Rappit’s latest release addresses this opportunity, using automation and GenAI to simplify and accelerate application development.

AI-led application development platform for core systems

Rappit provides forward-looking organizations with a suite of application development products for the accelerated development of enterprise applications. To build the future today, the Rappit platform offers application modernization & generation combined with no-code apps and workflow capabilities. Unlike low-code platforms that often limit professional developers, Rappit’s approach revolves around AI-led application modernization and generation. Combining GenAI with well-known low-code capabilities, Rappit allows professional Java developers full access to the generated code and to work with their own IDE, delivering low-code speed, combined with high-code flexibility and zero vendor lock-in. This makes Rappit an ideal fit for enterprises looking to rebuild or extend core systems like a TMS, WMS, or CRM.

Delivering a jump-start to modernize what matters

Rappit’s latest platform release introduces advanced, ‘AI-led data model generation’ features that automatically extract the data model from legacy applications screenshots, functional documents, SQL files, or spreadsheets. Developers can further generate the data model based on prompts. A ‘developer-in-the-loop’ functionality empowers users to verify what AI-generated suggestions to accept or further refine. Development teams using Rappit can now fast forward legacy screens within minutes into a modern prototype, for further development on the Rappit platform.

“Our AI-led development platform is a game-changer for enterprises looking to modernize their legacy core systems“, said Ardjan Baan, CEO of Rappit. “With the latest release, Rappit doesn’t just generate code faster, but generates better enterprise applications faster. We thereby increase developer productivity in a market that is suffering from huge talent shortages while demand for modern applications is skyrocketing. Under the hood, we leverage the power of the leading AI technology of Google Cloud”.

Executing on vision to deliver intelligent application development

Rappit’s announcement is part of a larger strategy to provide intelligent application development, executing a vision based on two pillars:

• Intelligent development: AI-led application development to maximize developer productivity by applying (Gen)AI to all stages of the application development lifecycle. With a specific focus on modernizing legacy enterprise applications smarter.
• Intelligent applications: AI–infused applications that boost end-user productivity. Augmenting generated applications with intelligent automation and connected data to provide an engaging and personalized user experience.

Features of Rappit’s 2025 GenAI roadmap include, amongst others:

• AI-led business rules configuration and AI-led form designs, with users adding logic using natural language prompts;
• Creating an intelligent chatbot and AI agents within a generated application, allowing users to interact via prompts;
• Embedding Rappit Undoc intelligent document processing within generated applications;
• Deeper integration of 3rd party AI models via APIs.

The new platform release and Rappit’s vision strongly resonate with customers. “I’m excited to see Rappit deliver on its forward-thinking vision for intelligent application development,” said Ewoud Frielink, CTO of Omoda. “Rappit’s innovative capabilities enable us to realize AI agents faster and stay ahead in our industry”.
