Hey vv!
We just wrapped our Summer Launch Event, and we’re excited to share some key highlights!
A major theme of the event was the "agentic shift," where AI is increasingly becoming a user of software. Xano is supporting this by enabling users to "build for AI," "build with AI," and "build by AI:”
Build for AI: Infrastructure for Agents
We recently launched a new foundation for Agentic Backends with MCP Servers and MCP Tools:
- MCP Servers: Standards-based interfaces that expose structured backend logic and data in a way that AI agents (like LLMs) can discover, understand, and interact with programmatically.
- MCP Tools: Secure, interpretable, function-based logic that agents can execute (e.g. book a hotel reservation, update data in a database).
And now we’re excited to introduce Xano Agents, which enable you to configure, invoke, and direct AI behavior within the agent configuration. This includes choosing your preferred LLM, setting behavior with system instructions, injecting dynamic data into tasks, and securely linking tools for action. These agents can be run from any part of Xano—API endpoints, custom functions, database triggers, or tasks—providing AI with real structure, safety, and control within your backend.
Build with AI: Assistants You Can Trust
We introduced specialized AI Assistants integrated directly into the platform, prioritizing clarity, context, and control. This includes the new Function Stack Assistant (coming soon), which suggests next steps for backend logic directly within the Function Stack, as well as existing Database, SQL, and Lambda Assistants.
Build by AI: From Prompt to Production
We unveiled XanoScript, a new scripting language designed for visual backend development. XanoScript allows AI to describe and build entire backend systems, including configuration, logic, data storage, and structure, which can then be visually represented and edited in Xano. Combined with the Xano MCP Server, AI agents (including your favorite Vibe Coders) can read, generate, and update backend infrastructure. Direct access to write and generate XanoScript will be available soon.
New pricing with affordable ($29/mo) entry tier
Additionally, we announced a new pricing lineup, designed to be more accessible and to better serve different builder needs:
- New Starter Plan: Priced at $29/month, ideal for MVPs and scaling apps, offering core features, expanded limits, and 3 data sources.
- New Pro Plan: Optimized for growing teams, including 10 team seats, Database Connector, Xano Link, and increased compute and storage.
- Custom Enterprise Plan: For maximum flexibility, control, and specialized requirements.
- Upgraded Build (Free) Plan: Now includes Lambda functions for testing custom logic and edge capabilities.
The previous Launch and Scale plans are being deprecated, with current customers receiving information and discounts for upgrading to the new plans.
Our Summer Launch Event wasn't just a showcase of new features; it was a comprehensive roadmap to the next era of software development. By enabling users to "build for," "build with," and "build by AI," Xano is empowering developers to step into the future of backend development, which is already here.
