The AI-Forward Telerik & Kendo UI 2025 Q4 Release Is Here

Progress Telerik and Kendo UI 2025 Q4 release is here, helping teams save at least 30% of the development cycle with AI-generated UI, 12 AI Coding Assistants, MCP debugging, .NET 10 support and more.

At its core, the Telerik and Kendo UI 2025 Q4 release is about giving developers, team leads and enterprises a partner they can trust: AI tools that understand the Telerik and Kendo UI libraries inside-out, adapt to their technology stack and meet the standards of enterprise-ready UI application development. These tools don’t ask teams to start from scratch. They’re simply designed to accelerate what you’re already building.

The spotlight of this 2025 Q4 release is the Telerik Agentic UI Generator—a new way to build UI with speed and confidence. Developers can now prompt their way into fully functional pages—complete with layouts, styling, accessibility, needed components and data bindings. It does this from an MCP server that works in any AI-enabled IDE.

The Telerik Agentic UI Generator debuts in Telerik UI for Blazor, KendoReact and Kendo UI for Angular as part of DevCraft Complete or Ultimate subscriptions. The Agentic UI Generator is an evolution of the AI Coding Assistants currently available across all major Telerik and Kendo UI libraries, reporting and document processing tools, giving developers a full productivity stack.

Beyond development acceleration, the 2025 Q4 release empowers teams to continue embedding AI directly into their applications. New and enhanced AI components like the Inline AI Prompt, AI-optimized Chat UI and prompt-driven Data Grid bring natural language control to everyday user scenarios.

AI-driven innovation only delivers value when it’s matched with stability and long-term platform confidence. That’s why Progress continues the tradition of day-zero compatibility with Microsoft’s latest technologies with .NET 10 fully supported at launch.

The 2025 Q4 release introduces AI-driven debugging capabilities in Fiddler Everywhere, too, expanding Progress’ MCP ecosystem beyond UI development. With Fiddler MCP integration, network traffic analysis and debugging data are available directly inside your IDE. Combined with the new Debugging Assistant, Fiddler transforms the debugging journey into a guided, conversational experience that helps resolve issues faster and earlier in the development cycle.
