Frequently asked questions
knowis Cloud Solution Workbench transforms the software design experience for modern development teams to accelerate and simplify the creation of enterprise-grade software solutions. It combines AI-driven guidance with intuitive tools to help teams define and refine software architecture and software design, aligning everyone across the development lifecycle.
With emphasis on preserving solution context, Workbench ensures that each step in the process builds upon the previous one, seamlessly connecting design specifications to automated code generation. This approach enables teams to produce consistent, high-quality code while reducing repetitive tasks and boosting productivity.
Our product integrates seamlessly into your existing development environment. It supports mainstream languages and technologies, empowering teams to work more efficiently while maintaining flexibility and scalability for future growth. Solutions built with the Workbench are based on open standards and with an open-source preference without any vendor lock-in.
knowis Cloud Solution Workbench enables development teams to focus more energy on problem solving and collaboration and spend less effort on mondane and repeating tasks. That’s why developers who use Workbench experience higher satisfaction and are more productive, which all adds up to engaged developers shipping great software faster.
Coding assistants focus on generating snippets of code based on prompts, but they lack a deeper understanding of architecture, design, and most importantly business context. Workbench closes this context gap by integrating AI-powered software architecture and design assistance, ensuring that generated code aligns with the bigger picture.
Unlike coding assistants, our Workbench has a special focus on the early architecture and design steps in the development lifecycle—helping architects structure solutions, refining software design, and improving code-generation through a deep domain understanding.
Rather than competing with coding assistants, Workbench complements them by providing structured design guidance, enabling domain-aware code generation. While coding assistants help write code faster, Workbench makes sure the right code is generated in the right place, with the right context.
Yes! Workbench is designed to integrate smoothly with your existing tech stack, including version control systems (e.g., GitHub, GitLab), CI/CD pipelines, and development frameworks. It enhances—not replaces—your current workflows, enabling teams to work efficiently with their preferred tools.
At knowis, we see the future of software development as AI-powered, with solution context playing a crucial role in delivering meaningful results. Unlike traditional documentation tools, Workbench actively supports day-to-day software architecture and design tasks, simplifying workflows while preserving critical business context at every stage.
More than just an assistant, Workbench leverages a deep understanding of your solution domain to provide intelligent design recommendations and enables domain-aware code generation. This ensures precise, efficient, and context-driven automation tailored to your specific business challenges.
With its end-to-end integration, Workbench seamlessly connects architecture, design, and implementation. It eliminates repetitive coding tasks, accelerates development, and fosters collaboration across teams—helping you build software faster, smarter, and with greater alignment.
Workbench enables 100% open co-creation without proprietary runtime components, ensuring your applications remain portable and adaptable. This allows teams to adopt new technologies without affecting existing workloads, future-proofing their development strategies.
Workbench provides a shared design environment where architects, developers, product owners, and business teams can collaborate in real-time. Interactive diagrams, AI-assisted recommendations, and version-controlled design models ensure alignment and transparency across teams.
