Xojo 2026 Release 2 Boosts AI Integration and Web Throughput

The update introduces major architectural changes, most notably in the AI assistant Jade, which now integrates with OpenAI, OpenRouter, and local large language models. By allowing developers to pull project context—such as source code and specific compile errors—directly into the AI workspace, Xojo aims to reduce the friction of debugging and boilerplate generation. The integration is managed through a new dedicated settings panel, providing a more granular interface for managing these AI connections.

Web developers will see the most drastic performance gains, with backend optimizations driving capacity from a previous ceiling of 9,000 requests per second to over 13,000. These improvements are paired with new SEO-ready capabilities, including opt-in page handling. On the interface front, Xojo has unified its mobile design language, adopting Material styling for iOS and Android components like MobileSwitch and MobilePopupMenu. Desktop developers gain the new DesktopScrollableArea control and enhanced toolbar customization, while the underlying infrastructure for macOS debugging has been bolstered with better support for Sandboxing and Hardened Runtime.
