Starting with AI Chatbot

0
Hello, I am new in creating AI chatbot within Mendix but familiar with Mendix developement. I discovered that we have 3 options in marketplace namely : GenAI Showcase App, AI Bot Starter App and Blank Gen AI App.. Our Goal is to create simple AI Chatbot assistant that queries app data entities and provides response to user. In addition later we want to add agents if necessary.  Can anyone help me where do I have to start? Because AI Bot starter app do not have PgVector modules included and we dont want to start from scratch.

Hi Raghavendra,

 

The best approach is to start from the AI Bot Starter App, which already covers the chat bot use case. For adding your custom data to the context of the chat conversation, you might want to use function calling or knowledge bases (via the PgVector Knowledge Base module). The module is not included in the starter app, but you can easily do so yourself and see how to best integrate it by looking at the GenAI Showcase App examples.

 

The Agent Builder Starter App might also be a good candidate which already shows how to use Agents and which also includes a chat bot with function calling and knowledge bases, even though the example is predefined with a IT ticket use case (you can of course change it to your needs).

 

 

Hope that helps.

 

Best regards

Liam

If you're looking beyond low-code automation and wondering how to build custom AI application solutions in Mendix, the key is to combine the platform's rapid development capabilities with external AI services through APIs, microflows, and secure data pipelines. For advanced use cases such as AI copilots, document intelligence, predictive analytics, or multi-agent workflows, a custom architecture often delivers better flexibility and scalability than relying solely on out-of-the-box components. CONTUS Tech specializes in building enterprise-grade AI applications by integrating LLMs, business logic, and existing systems, helping organizations create secure, scalable, and production-ready AI solutions tailored to their specific business needs.
