Xano 2.0 is Here: The First Production-Grade Backend That Moves at AI Speed, Without Sacrificing Control

Xano 2.0 is Here: The First Production-Grade Backend That Moves at AI Speed, Without Sacrificing Control

AI has completely changed how we build software, and particularly our expectations around how long it should take to go from idea to working app.

With AI doing more and more of the heavy lifting, what once took months now takes minutes. But speed without control is a trap: brittle prototypes, black-box outputs, and fragile apps that don't survive in production.

Xano 2.0 is the answer.

It’s the first production-grade backend that moves at AI speed—without forcing you to trade visibility for a black box, or reliability for rapid hacks. For the first time, code, AI, and visual development live together in one seamless platform, designed for scale, compliance, and real-world use.

And for us, this isn’t just another release. This marks a change in who we are as a business. With this release, we've evolved beyond a visual builder into a complete backend platform for pro developers all the way to beginners and entrepreneurs, eliminating the need to assemble and maintain a patchwork of 6–8 separate backend tools.

Build Your Way: Code, Visual, and AI—All in Sync

💡
One Platform, Three Ways to Build

Xano 2.0 is a major leap forward, adapting to exactly how your team wants to build. You can now switch seamlessly between modalities (code, visual, AI) without compromise, ensuring your logic is always transparent and production-ready.

1. Build with AI: Instant Logic, Visual Validation

Build with AI

AI has made it possible to go from idea to working logic in seconds, and Xano 2.0 makes those AI outputs usable, editable, and reliable.

  • Logic Assistant: Use this AI-powered builder directly in the Function Stack to describe the logic you want in plain language and generate backend functions instantly.
  • Transparency, Not Black Boxes: Every AI-generated function is visualized in Canvas View or the Function Stack. This visual validation allows you to see, edit, and confirm the logic step-by-step, giving you the speed of AI and the confidence of visual validation.
  • Production-Ready AI: Take your "vibe-coded" prototypes and turn them into real, enterprise-ready systems, complete with out-of-the-box scaling, compliance, and monitoring.

2. Collaborate Visually: Clarity for Hybrid Teams

💡
Collaborate Visually

Backend logic is often a black box to product managers, business owners, and non-coders. Xano 2.0 fixes this.

  • Canvas View: A new visual, node-based workflow builder that makes backend logic easy to design, share, and validate. This is perfect for hybrid teams.
  • Seamless Sync: Developers can dive into code with XanoScript for precision, while business leaders and non-coders can review and validate the exact same logic visually in the Canvas View. Everyone sees the same truth, reducing misalignment and mistakes.
  • Co-Creation in Preferred Modalities: Engineers can build in code, non-technical teammates can use the visual canvas or AI, and all changes remain unified and in sync on a single, compliant platform.

3. Build with Code: Familiar Workflows, Faster Velocity

💡
Build with Code

For pro developers, Xano will feel right at home. It fits into the real engineering practices you already use, like working in your favorite IDE and leveraging GIT workflows.

  • XanoScript (XS): A new scripting language that lets you write backend logic in code while staying perfectly in sync with Xano’s visual interface. You can write, lint, diff, and version XS in your IDE, right next to your other codebases—a capability no other no/low-code platform supports.
  • Xano MCP & VS Code Extension: Write backend logic directly from your preferred IDE like VS Code, Cursor, or Claude Code. You can browse, edit, push/pull changes, and use AI assistants right inside your IDE—no need to learn a new environment.
  • Git Sync & Version Diff: Xano now integrates directly with GitHub and GitLab. Every API, function, and query change can be committed to Git for complete version history and auditability. Plus, our Git-style Version Diff gives you clear visibility into all backend changes before you publish or deploy, dramatically reducing risk.

Deliver with Confidence

Ultimately, Xano 2.0 is about giving your teams the ability to deliver business-critical software at the speed of AI, while keeping the security, reliability, and transparency enterprises demand.

Other platforms force trade-offs — code-only, visual-only, or AI-only. Xano 2.0 is the only one that unifies all three in a single platform built for production. This is collaborative, enterprise-ready development at AI speed.

This is Xano 2.0.

The future of backend development is here.
