BESSER
BESSER is an open-source low-code platform for building smart applications. It addresses the need to model an application once and then automatically generate APIs, databases, AI agents, neural networks, GUIs, and full deployments.
The platform supplies a model-driven low-code editor, an agentic framework for building running and deploying AI agents, tools to model and generate neural networks, a GUI creator, facilities for modeling users and personalizing applications, and support for modeling and exchanging BPMN workflows. It produces output for the stacks that include Python, FastAPI, Django, SQLAlchemy, Java, Terraform, and PyTorch. An online editor allows modeling, generation, and deployment without any installation.
BESSER is delivered as a web-based service at editor.besser-pearl.org together with documentation, an API reference, and supporting materials. The project maintains a dataset of 9,081 B-UML models, publishes peer-reviewed research, and has received best-paper and demo awards. It is developed by a team funded by LIST, SnT, and FNR.
The platform is free and released under open-source licensing.
