KAI by Embarcadero – how “Agentic AI” is changing RAD Studio development

With the introduction of KAI , Embarcadero is bringing an AI-supported extension to its development ecosystem based around Delphi, C++Builder and RAD Studio for the first time. Unlike classic code assistants, however, KAI positions itself not just as a helper, but as an active part of the development process. This makes KAI ideal for existing Delphi customers who want to modernize their applications.

What is KAI?

KAI is a premium add-on for RAD Studio that integrates “agentic AI” directly into the development environment.

In essence, this means that KAI combines classic AI functions such as autocomplete with an AI agent that can actively intervene in the development process – from code creation to build and debugging. The aim is to enable developers to complete entire tasks within the IDE without having to switch between tools.

More than autocomplete: what KAI can do

KAI goes far beyond classic coding assistants and supports developers throughout the entire workflow.

The most important functions include:

1. efficient code support

• Inline code suggestions (“Ghost Text”)
• Intelligent autocomplete functions
• Compare several proposals at the same time

→ Fewer routine tasks, faster development

2. AI agent with project understanding

• Access to project structure
• Understanding of code contexts
• Support directly in the IDE workflow

→ KAI as a “co-developer”, not just a tool

3. end-to-end support throughout the entire development process

• Generate code and user interfaces
• Compile projects
• Recognize and rectify errors
• Modernize existing code

→ Complete tasks instead of individual actions

4. automated workflows (MCP-based)

• Automation of recurring tasks
• Concatenation of several steps (e.g. build → analysis → fix)
• Integration of external tools via MCP (Model Context Protocol)

→ KAI as an orchestrator
