NET Genium without installation
NET Genium Online is the NET Genium platform operated as a service.
You need no server, no license key and no help from your IT department. You create your own instance in a few minutes and start building applications right away.
It is the same framework the enterprise systems of our customers run on, with the same designer for forms, view pages, scripts and database queries. The difference is not in what you can build, but in the fact that you do not have to run it.
How it works
Three steps to your own instance
- Choose an identifier for your organization.
- A separate instance with its own database is created at identifier.netgenium.online.
- You receive the administrator credentials by e-mail and can start working.
Every instance has its own database and is isolated from all others. Your data is not shared with anyone else.
AI builds your applications
Describe what you need — the application is created
A new instance is not an empty screen you have to figure out on your own. Right on the NET Genium home page you will find the option to have an application built by artificial intelligence: you describe in your own words what you need to keep track of and how the process works in your organization.
From that description the AI creates a working application — editing forms with the appropriate controls, the underlying database tables, and view pages for working with the records. The result is not a preview or a design on paper: you can open the application straight away and start entering data.
You can have as many applications built this way as you need, not just the first one. Whenever there is another agenda to keep track of, you describe it the same way and the AI builds another application — and the number of applications in your instance does not affect the price.
You then develop each generated application further with the standard tools of the platform — adding fields, adjusting form layouts, extending business logic and permissions. You are never locked into whatever the AI produced.
Connecting your own AI agent
The MCP server of your instance
NET Genium Online comes with an MCP server (Model Context Protocol) that lets you connect your own AI assistant to your instance — Claude or its developer variant Claude Code, ChatGPT or its developer variant Codex, Microsoft Copilot Studio or any other tool supporting the protocol. It is part of every instance, so there is nothing to install, and it gives the assistant three kinds of knowledge:
- the data of your applications — the assistant reads the records, counts them and looks into the change history; with write permission it can change the data as well,
- the model of your implementation — applications, forms, controls, permissions and the data model; with write permission the assistant changes it as well, so it does not only describe an application but builds it,
- the knowledge of the framework — the documentation of NET Genium and the conventions of the platform, so that the assistant designs forms, queries and scripts according to the current standards rather than to general habits.
The knowledge of the framework is available to every token whose owner has administrator rights. Data and the model of the implementation are turned on by a checkbox — the token permissions are named “Reading all data and the model via the MCP server” and “Writing all data and the model via the MCP server”.
Setting up the server
The address of the server is the “api.aspx” page in the root of your instance — that is “https://identifier.netgenium.online/api.aspx”. There are two ways to connect:
- by signing in — in Claude or ChatGPT you add the instance as a custom connector, enter the address and go through the usual sign-in to the instance; on the consent screen you tick whether the application may read and write data,
- with a personal token — the developer tools Claude Code and Codex and an agent in Copilot Studio prove their identity with a personal MCP token, which you generate in the “Change password” dialog on the “MCP token” tab and pass to the tool in its configuration.
The procedure, including sample configurations of the individual tools, is described in detail in the separate text Connecting an AI tool to the MCP server.
More detail is given in the texts The integrated MCP server and Agentic development.
What you get in NET Genium Online
The complete application designer
All platform tools for designing applications are available:
- editing forms — they create and maintain the underlying database tables automatically,
- view pages — tables, charts, calendars, planners, kanban boards, maps and tree structures,
- the database query designer — queries are composed visually, with no SQL to write,
- the script designer — business logic bound to form events,
- print templates — output to XLSX, DOCX, PDF, HTML, CSV and TXT,
- reports and statistical overviews of your data.
Access control and auditability
- permissions at the level of applications, forms and individual controls,
- user groups and roles,
- change history for every record — who changed what and when,
- record ownership and rules governing who may edit what.
Operations on our side
- regular database backups,
- continuous updates of the framework core,
- encrypted connections and operation on European servers.
The platform underneath is not new
NET Genium Online is a hosted form of a platform companies have been running for years in daily operation — hundreds of implementations and tens of thousands of users, with dozens of applications and millions of records in a single instance. In the Czech Republic the platform runs several of the state's significant information systems, which are regulated under the national Cybersecurity Act, so it meets the security requirements placed on public administration. Your instance runs in data centres within the European Union.
What it costs
You create your instance without entering a payment card and use it free of charge with a single user — not for a month, but permanently. Billing starts with the second user and the price is EUR 10 or USD 12 excl. VAT per user and month (CZK 250 for customers in the Czech Republic).
You are charged only for the users you actually create in your instance — the number of applications, forms or records does not affect the price. Running the instance is paid for with prepaid credit, not with a standing card payment: one credit is one user for one month, and the price includes 1 GB of data allowance per user (100 MB on the free plan).
The complete price list — how credit is deducted and topped up, the data allowance, the price of a full installation and a comparison with other platforms — is on the Pricing page.
What NET Genium Online does not include
NET Genium Online is intended for applications you build and maintain yourself in a browser. The following platform capabilities are available only with a full installation of NET Genium on the customer's server or in the customer's cloud:
- external functions — custom application logic written in C#,
- scheduled tasks executed on the server,
- companion Windows services (for example data synchronization, payment matching or automated e-mail processing),
- a remote connection through the web services of the NETGeniumConnection library — access to the data from console applications, services or a custom API project; data of the instance is accessed from your own code through the MCP server (see above),
- importing application groups from another instance,
- operation on your own infrastructure and integration with internal systems inside a corporate network,
- contractual support and a guaranteed service level (SLA).
When to move to a full installation
NET Genium Online and a full NET Genium installation are built on the same framework, so applications created online are never a dead end. As soon as your organization reaches any of the limits above, we move the whole database of your instance to the full installation — your applications and their data carry on unchanged, with nothing to export or convert.
The usual reasons to move are custom application logic in C#, integration with internal systems, automated background processing, or the requirement to run inside your own network.
If you are not sure which option fits your needs, get in touch — we will be glad to discuss it with you.
