OutSystems Brings Governed Agentic Systems to Consumer Lending

Published

By

Agentic Loan Applications combines customer-facing applications, governed agents, and deterministic workflows into a single pre-built system

SINGAPORE, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — OutSystems, a leading Agentic Systems Platform, is expanding its Agentic Industry Solutions portfolio for banking, enabling financial institutions to modernize consumer lending by bringing agents, customer-facing applications, and deterministic workflows together into a governed system that institutions can adapt to their own products, policies, and existing banking systems.

OutSystems Agentic Loan Applications layers over existing banking systems. By grounding agents in an operational context—including the bank’s policies, systems, and dependencies—it helps them operate more efficiently and accurately while keeping every lending decision under the bank’s control.

While banks are rapidly adopting AI, they face mounting pressure to translate these investments into ROI by moving from experimentation to high-impact customer journeys – all while maintaining the strict governance, auditability, and human oversight required in a highly regulated industry. Yet many lending experiences still rely on lengthy forms, manual document collection, repetitive data entry, and fragmented handoffs that delay when loan officers can act and increase the risk of application abandonment. The result is a dual mandate for financial institutions: to improve the consumer experience and reduce operational friction so they can grow faster, while still maintaining the reproducible and auditable operations essential to risk and compliance teams.

“Banks do not need more isolated agents. They need governed agentic systems that improve real customer journeys and can stand up to risk review,” said Luis Blando, OutSystems CPTO. “OutSystems brings agents into auditable workflows so institutions can move beyond isolated pilots and apply AI to complex lending journeys with the oversight the industry requires.”

A governed approach to agents in consumer lending

OutSystems Agentic Loan Applications demonstrates this approach in practice. Built on the OutSystems Agentic Systems Platform, leading financial institutions, including KeyBank, Paragon Bank, and Axos Bank, trust OutSystems with their most highly regulated decisions.

“Hope is not a governance strategy. As AI adoption accelerates, banks need full visibility into how agentic solutions are built, what data they’re accessing, and how they’re being used,” said Mike Reynolds, Business Technology Executive at KeyBank. “Striving for centralized governance layers provides the oversight, auditability, and controls necessary to innovate confidently while staying within regulatory guardrails.”

Agentic Loan Applications combines mobile and web applications, data models, governed agents, and deterministic workflows to help banks address the manual, document-heavy work surrounding lending decisions:

A guided, agent-assisted application journey: Agentic Loan Applications captures and verifies documents, runs identity and sanctions screening, and compiles a complete application that passes to the bank’s existing loan origination system.Agents evaluated before they reach production: Banking agents are rigorously tested against dozens of agent evaluations encompassing criteria like relevance, accuracy, PII protection, and many others. Re-testing after any model, prompt, or tool modification ensures agents reliably remain within guardrails.Model selection tested for cost and accuracy: OutSystems evaluated multiple models through Amazon Bedrock and pre-selected models that perform optimally at up to 82% lower cost. Banks configure the system around their own products, policies, and existing banking systems while retaining control over their data.

This approach reflects the broader OutSystems strategy for Agentic Industry Solutions: pairing pre-built industry capabilities with OutSystems unified platform so organizations can apply AI to real operational processes.

The OutSystems Banking Agents Kit is also available on the OutSystems Forge, providing developers with building blocks for creating banking apps and agents on the OutSystems platform.

Electronic Device Solution Inc. Expands Push into Middle East Defense Market with GaN-Based RF Technology

Published

on

By

SEOUL, South Korea, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Electronic Device Solution Inc. (CEO Byeongok, Lim) is expanding its push into the Middle East defense semiconductor market, building on its GaN (Gallium Nitride)-based RF (radio frequency) technology. Electronic Device Solution Inc. specializes in GaN MMICs and RF components, modules, and systems used in defense, aerospace, and radar applications, and it possesses RF Total Solution capabilities spanning the entire process, from chip design to measurement, testing, production, product development, and packaging.

Its main product lineup includes GaN MMICs supporting various frequency bands such as X-band and Ku-band, along with transmit/receive modules (TRM), high-power amplifiers (HPA), low-noise amplifiers (LNA), and RF switches. These products serve as key RF components in AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar systems. Electronic Device Solution Inc. has built up its technological capabilities in the defense sector through participation in major South Korean weapons system localization projects, including fighter aircraft AESA radar systems, long-range air defense programs, and low-altitude defense programs.

Based on its high level of domestic localization, Electronic Device Solution Inc. reduces procurement risks associated with overseas supply chains and export controls, while securing customized supply capabilities that allow for design changes and product optimization according to customer requirements. Through a FAB-Lite production system that combines its own assembly and testing facilities with partnerships with domestic and international foundries, the company flexibly responds to high-mix, low-volume production, precision testing, and rapid delivery demands.

Electronic Device Solution Inc. plans to expand cooperation with local defense companies in the Middle East based on these technological and production capabilities, with a focus on radar, air defense systems, unmanned aerial vehicles, and anti-drone technology. Rather than simply supplying components, the company’s strategy is to establish itself as a stable RF supply partner in the Middle East defense market by providing RF semiconductors, modules, and system solutions tailored to customer needs.

Published

By

A new series of Chinese documentaries, dramas and cultural programs launched in Kyrgyzstan, bringing stories of Chinese craftsmanship, intangible heritage, traditional medicine and daily life to Central Asian viewers, according to a report from China Media Group (CMG) on Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — (This material is distributed by MediaLinks TV, LLC on behalf of CCTV. Additional information is available at the Department of Justice, Washington, D.C.)

CGTN America & CCTV UN releases “Kyrgyz Audiences Get Access to Chinese Documentaries, Drama and Cultural Programs in Bishkek Screening Event”

A new series of Chinese documentaries, dramas and cultural programs launched in Kyrgyzstan, bringing stories of Chinese craftsmanship, intangible heritage, traditional medicine and daily life to Central Asian viewers, according to a report from China Media Group (CMG) on Wednesday.

The screening event, held in Bishkek, features nearly 10 programs produced by CMG. The content will air through the end of October on Kyrgyzstan’s national broadcaster and other regional media outlets.

The initiative builds on a media cooperation agreement signed between CMG and Kyrgyzstan’s National Television and Radio Broadcasting Corporation last year during the Kyrgyz president’s visit to Beijing. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO), with Kyrgyzstan hosting the SCO summit as this year’s rotating chair.

The programs on offer range from short-form cultural features to full-length series. Among them, a food-themed drama follows daily life in a restaurant in northwest China, while documentary series spotlight traditional arts, herbal medicine and Chinese design heritage – content that highlights the diversity of contemporary Chinese storytelling beyond blockbuster films.

CMG has steadily expanded its programming reach across Central Asia in recent years. Previous screening campaigns have placed nearly 20 Chinese programs on regional broadcasters, covering topics from culture to contemporary art. Multiple media outlets from SCO member states are covering the current event, reflecting growing cross-border media collaboration in the region.
