What's New 2025 Q3

IDE-Integrated AI Coding Assistant

Meet the faster path to highly functional business apps. The new AI Coding Assistant turns plain-language prompts into working UI and app scaffolds - helping you create complex forms, pages and data-bound views in seconds. It plugs right into your IDE of choice and pairs the full Telerik UI for WinForms library with AI-assisted generation for unprecedented productivity. 

Why you’ll love it: 

• Build from a prompt: Describe the screen you want - grids, forms, filters, charts, navigation - and get clean, idiomatic C# and designer-friendly setup you can insert directly. 
  
  
• Context-aware suggestions: Get inline completions and usage patterns that follow Telerik best practices - from data binding and theming to layout, DPI awareness and responsiveness. 
  
  
• Library-smart: Instantly wire up Telerik controls with recommended properties, themes and behaviors. 
  
  
• IDE integration: Work where you already do - invoke, preview and insert without breaking your flow. 
  
  
• Ship faster: Move from idea to validated UI in minutes, not days.
