DevCraft by Telerik is a comprehensive AI-powered suite of more than 1,250 UI components and development tools designed for building modern web, desktop, and mobile applications using .NET and JavaScript frameworks. It includes reporting and report management solutions, automated testing and mocking tools, and document processing libraries, as well as a wide range of professionally designed user interface controls from the Telerik and Kendo UI suites. DevCraft enables developers to create feature-rich, high-performance applications with consistent design and user experience, delivering enterprise-level, scalable, and maintainable software solutions.
The Telerik DevCraft 2026 Q1 update adds Semantic Search through a new unified SmartBox, making it easier for developers to build natural language search directly into the DataGrid. Instead of depending on exact keyword matches, the feature uses artificial intelligence (AI) to understand meaning and context. It can return relevant results across multiple columns and related fields, even if the user’s search terms do not exactly match the stored data. The SmartBox brings semantic search, filtering, and follow-up query refinement together in one interface. This reduces the need to write and maintain custom search logic, while making integration more straightforward. As a result, applications can deliver more accurate search results, help users find information faster, and make large or complex datasets easier to explore.
