Backend Agent
A scheduled server-side AI agent in GenMB that runs Python scripts on a cron schedule via a shared GKE worker pool. Backend Agents can call APIs, process data, send emails, and trigger actions automatically. GenMB generates the agent code from a natural language description, deploys it, and manages execution logs. Available on Business plan, max 3 per user.

Agent Mode
An autonomous AI building mode that breaks complex app requests into 5-15 sequential tasks, executing each with error recovery and checkpoints. The AI plans the implementation, executes tasks one by one, retries failures up to 3 times, and allows users to pause, resume, or stop at any point.
Workflow
A visual automation pipeline in GenMB that connects triggers to actions using a node-based editor. Workflows support 16+ node types including AI processing, HTTP requests, conditional logic, loops, email, Slack, database queries, and code execution. Workflows can be triggered manually, on a schedule (cron), or via webhook. Validated as a DAG (directed acyclic graph) to prevent circular dependencies. Available on Business plan.
Serverless
A cloud computing model where the provider manages all infrastructure and automatically scales compute resources. Developers deploy functions or containers without provisioning servers. "Serverless" doesn't mean no servers — it means you don't manage them. GenMB deploys apps to Cloud Run, a serverless container platform that scales to zero when idle.
