Concept to Code: Einstein for MuleSoft Transforms Software Development

MuleSoft is incredibly excited to announce a set of major updates to Einstein for MuleSoft, the generative AI capabilities embedded across our integration & automation portfolio. 

These landmark development centers on the capabilities available in Anypoint Code Builder, where users can now generate full API Specifications via conversational prompts and generate Dataweave Transformations as part of their development workflow. They’ll also be able to generate documentation from new and existing API specifications hosted on Anypoint Exchange. 

Einstein generative AI is embedded across MuleSoft, whether you’re a developing generating code in Anypoint Code Builder, an admin leveraging natural language to build integrations with our 40+ out-of-box connectors via MuleSoft for Flow: Integration, or a business user conversationally sifting through messy, unstructured documents via Intelligent Document Processing. 

By leveraging Einstein for MuleSoft to accelerate the software development life cycle, our customers stand to benefit the most– building upon their existing composable foundation to quickly embrace cutting edge technologies and benefits posed by a new wave of agents and AI tools. 

Digital Transformation brought rapid innovation to software development, with MuleSoft advocating composability for flexible, scalable IT systems. Now, in the era of Agentic Transformation, composability remains vital, but must adapt to AI's demands for speed and efficiency.

The proliferation of generative AI in coding tools has led to near exponential increases in software output. Time-to-market pressure has never been more intense, and Developers need tools that help them keep pace.

No one understands this better than Muleys. Integration sits at the heart of any new technological epoch, and Agentic Transformation is no exception– in order for new AI tools to have a measurable impact, there needs to be underlying Mule applications so that they have access to all the data, workflow and processes across your IT infrastructure. 

Einstein for MuleSoft has been easing the burden for both developers and business users across Anypoint Code Builder, Intelligent Document Processing & Salesforce Flow . 

But this latest release is a landmark moment for the generative capabilities within MuleSoft, as users will be able to use natural language conversations to generate the enterprise grade code needed to craft some of the most innovative and powerful integrations required to implement AI effectively. This vastly expands the art of the possible–both for customers new to MuleSoft development who are looking to get up to speed quickly, as well as automating the busy work of more experienced developers and freeing up their mind share to focus on innovation. 

• Accelerate Integration Development

Manually creating an API is a thing of the past- design specifications from business requirements using generative API specifications.

• Ramp your MuleSoft skills faster

Learn MuleSoft on the fly, with iterative conversations and generative code for Dataweave Transformations, our proprietary coding language for mapping data transformations between applications.

• Clear and consistent documentation 

Dramatically increases API adoption and efficiency by automatically generating consistent, comprehensive documentation. 

The latest capabilities of Einstein for MuleSoft are set to reshape how developers interact with APIs, transform data, and document their work. With Einstein's multi-turn conversations, writing API specifications becomes seamless, allowing developers to iteratively build and understand their API exposure without worrying about complex syntax or semantics.

Einstein also automates Dataweave mappings, removing the learning curve and boosting productivity. Additionally, it ensures thorough, consistent, and up-to-date documentation, which is crucial for both developers and AI agents. By automating these complex tasks, we empower developers to be more productive and precise, setting a strong foundation for future innovations.

These enhancements to Einstein for Anypoint Code Builder and Anypoint Exchange unlock a host of new capabilities for developers looking to rapidly accelerate their Development workflow in MuleSoft:

Einstein for Anypoint Code Builder

• Generative API Specifications: Generate APIs that have been validated semantically and syntactically, modify previously generated outputs in multi-turn conversations and create new chats or review previous generations in past chats. 
• Generative Dataweave Transformations: Automatically generate mappings based on input and output metadata, full transformations from input and output sample data and account for additional logic by providing instructions to Einstein. 

Einstein for Anypoint Exchange

• Automatic AI-Generated Documentation: Upon publishing a new asset via Exchange UI or Anypoint Code Builder (ACB), Einstein automatically generates documentation.
• REST API Support: Initially supports REST APIs.
• Draft View in Exchange: Users can view a draft of the Einstein generated documentation in the asset details page.
• Manual Editing: Users have the ability to manually edit and refine the generated documentation.
• Standardized Template: Ensures consistent formatting and includes key information such as title, purpose, description, features, endpoints, and examples.
• Integration with Exchange: Seamlessly integrates with Anypoint Exchange with proper version control.
• Functional Requirements: Includes automatic extraction of information, consistent templates, manual enrichment, AI-based enrichment, and AI-based quality management.

We have plenty more on the roadmap for Einstein for Anypoint Code Builder & Anypoint Exchange:

Trust in your generative code with Generative MUnit Test: MuleSoft provides a built-in code validation layer alongside generative MUnit tests.

Other Asset Types: Documentation generation for other asset types, existing assets without documentation, and integration with governance conformance status.

Support for Multiple API Types: Initially supports REST but plans to support documentation for SOAP and Async APIs.

Autonomous Agent documentation management: User interaction with an agent to manage documentation for existing assets.

Quality evaluation for documentation: Asset quality evaluation with respect to governance.

Earlier this month, MuleSoft announced the ability to extend our development capabilities to third party AI Clients, such as Claude , and AI IDEs, like cursor , windsurf and trae.ai, via an embedded MCP server and VS Code extension pack . All of the features listed in this announcement are either available via or soon to be available via this extensibility feature.
