Why APEX Intelligence

AI-Native APEX Development You Can Prove

Approved requirements become reviewed application changes, with AI agents, best-practice standards and automated checks doing the work in between.

Compliance by design

Every change is traceable, from requirement to approved plan, agent work, check results and human approval. No black box.

A decision record and approval trail for every feature
Built to support transparency and auditability, including the EU AI Act and internal audit
Your team owns requirements, design and release decisions

The shortest path to AI in APEX

The framework brings the wider AI toolbox within reach of an APEX team, without leaving the Oracle stack.

How it works

Agents Do the Work. Checks and People Decide.

Specialized agents work through each phase of database and APEX development. Automated checks run on every result, and a person reviews and approves before anything moves forward.

You start

Requirements brain-dump

You know what you want to build. Put it into words, however messy.

Agents do the work, checks run

You review and approve

Requirements
Agents refine
Requirements refinement
Agents challenge and expand the brain-dump, surfacing edge cases, contradictions, and missing acceptance criteria.

Data model
Agents design
Data model & integrity tests
Tables, relationships, constraints, and reference data, with integrity tests written alongside the schema.
Checks:dbLinterintegrity tests
You check
Schema review
Read the ERD, look at the check results, and challenge the shape. Names and normalization matter here.

API
Agents implement
PL/SQL API & unit tests
Packages and procedures form the contract between UI and data. Unit tests cover each entry point.

You approve the release and watch it. Monitoring and user feedback feed the next round of requirements.
Recorded: Release approval

Feedback from monitoring loops back to the requirements brain-dump, ready for the next round.

Every feature leaves an evidence trail

For each feature you can show what was asked, what was built, what was checked and who approved it. That is what your internal audit asks for.

AI coding tools vs. a governed process

Why Not Just Use an AI Coding Assistant?

Keep using them. APEX Intelligence adds what a regulated or audited organization needs around them.

Oracle's APEX AI assistant, Copilot, Cursor

Help an individual developer write code faster.

Each developer prompts in their own way
Output quality depends on who is at the keyboard
No shared standards or automated checks around the AI
No record of what was asked, generated, checked and approved

APEX Intelligence

Gives your team a governed development process around those tools.

Shared best-practice standards for every developer
Specialized agents for data model, PL/SQL, ORDS and APEX
Automated checks: dbLinter, utPLSQL, authorization and APEX validation
Human approval gates and a retained evidence trail
Maintained by United Codes as APEX and AI tooling evolve

See it in action

AI Agents and APEXlang, Live

In this United Codes, Live! session, Dimitri Gielis and Philipp Hartenfeller show how coding agents work with APEXlang in APEX 26.1, and the approach that makes them faster, more token-efficient and more consistent.

Want the full story? The APEX Developer Reinvented follows one application from requirements to a running Oracle APEX app, with AI in the loop at every step.

How we work together

From First Scan to AI-Native Team

Every APEX Intelligence engagement starts with the AI Readiness Scan. It tells you where you stand and ends with one proposal for the right next step.

1. Start here

AI Readiness Scan

€5,000 fixed price, excl. VAT

A fixed-price assessment of your environment, process, data and governance, with a recommended path.

Interview with your technical owner and up to three stakeholders
A written report and a findings session
A concrete proposal for your next step

About the scan

2. Then

Fast Track or a first project

Tailored to what the scan finds and quoted in the proposal.

Fast Track: we set up the framework on your repository and run a first feature through the full workflow with your team
First project: UC consultants and your developers deliver a real application together, and your team learns the platform while doing it

Quoted in your proposal

3. Ongoing

Run it on the platform

Your team keeps building with the framework, and United Codes keeps it current.

Licensed per repository, with unlimited developers and applications
Updates as APEX and AI tooling evolve, plus platform support
Optional co-creation agreement for application support and extra capacity

Quoted in your proposal

Need more insight first? Add an APEX Health Check to review your APEX versions and application health, or an Oracle Forms Quick Scan to plan a move from Forms to APEX.

What's Inside the Framework

Standards, specialized agents, workflows and checks, tuned for Oracle Database 26ai, ORDS, and APEX, and set up in your own repository.

Clone, run one command, start building

Your team gets a self-contained project where Claude Code or Codex already follows the United Codes way of working. The guidelines and skills live in the project, so there is no external setup to wrestle with.

QuickSQL

Model your Oracle 26ai data layer with SQL as the source of truth.

dbLinter CLI

Static analysis and SQL-based tests that catch issues before a human review.

APEXlang CLI

Quick, predictable APEX edits built on Oracle's framework.

APEX template components

Build reusable APEX template components fast.

APEX reference & spec extraction

Agents work from an accurate, current picture of your live app.

Oracle's official skills

Synced and kept current rather than forked, so you stay aligned with Oracle.

Verified work, then a human

An agent builds, a second agent verifies, and a person steps in once the checks pass. Each developer acts as designer (sets the intent), orchestrator (runs the agents) and validator (approves the result).

DesignerOrchestratorValidator

A pipeline that ships

A dev, test, and prod flow on SQLcl Projects and Liquibase promotes a single immutable artifact. CI plugs into GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or GitLab.

A proprietary United Codes methodology, verified against Oracle Database 26ai, and the practical backbone behind Dimitri Gielis's The APEX Developer Reinvented series.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is APEX Intelligence a product or consulting?

It is the way United Codes builds Oracle APEX applications with AI: a maintained framework and the people who run it with you. You license the framework per repository; our consultants help you adopt it and can deliver with you.

Why pay when AI tools and some United Codes tools are free?

You pay for the maintained standards, agents, checks and workflows that make those tools produce reviewable, auditable output, and for the updates as APEX and AI tooling evolve. Free components such as dbLinter and the UC AI SDK are included.

Why not just use Oracle's APEX AI assistant?

Use it. It helps individual developers. APEX Intelligence adds the governed process around it: shared standards, automated checks, human approvals and an evidence trail.

Will it replace our developers?

No. Your team owns requirements, design and release decisions. Agents carry out the tasks and people review the result. That is also why the license is per repository, not per developer.

How much faster is it?

It depends on your applications, team and environment, so we do not promise a percentage. We measure the gain on your own first project against your current baseline: effort, lead time, rework and AI cost.

Does it reduce what we spend on AI tokens?

It is built to. Most token waste comes from guesswork and unchecked loops. APEXlang CLI gives agents a deterministic tool that already knows the APEX syntax, so they guess less and need fewer correction rounds, and the human review gates stop an agent from going off-track unchecked.

Does it support the EU AI Act and internal audit?

APEX Intelligence is built to support transparency and auditability. Every change is traceable from requirement to approved plan, agent work, check results and human approval, and that record is kept. Your compliance assessment remains your own.

Which APEX versions do we need?

APEX 26 with APEXlang is ideal. Older versions may need an upgrade first; the AI Readiness Scan tells you, and our APEX Health Check can map the upgrade.

Where do we start?

With the AI Readiness Scan: a fixed-price assessment (€5,000, excl. VAT) that ends with a recommended path and a proposal. "Not ready yet" is a valid outcome too, and then we tell you what to fix first.
