LLM Decision Modeling: From 2023 To 2026

In this LinkedIn post, I compared the 2023 and 2026 results of using LLMs to generate decision models from plain English descriptions. Here is the conclusion:

Three years ago, I was cautious about judging newly introduced generative AI capabilities. Today, even these two examples demonstrate that LLMs can be really good at transforming relatively simple business logic, while they struggle with complex, intersecting conditions. Still, the progress is undeniable. Modern LLMs can take a plain English description of a well-specified business function and generate a reasonably good initial decision model complete with glossaries, business rules, and test cases. These models can then be refined using business-friendly graphical interfaces and executed via decision engines to determine optimal or good decisions. We will undoubtedly see such capabilities, with significantly improved quality, integrated into Decision Intelligence platforms sooner than one might expect.

Decision Playground

Decision Playground is now publicly available. Announced on January 15, 2026, this powerful interactive component of the OpenRules Decision Intelligence Platform enables business users to visually experiment with scenarios, compare alternatives, and optimize decisions—without modifying the underlying models. See how Decision Playground helps a subject matter expert choose the best decision (not necessarily the optimal one) when unexpected constraints emerge: Inside/Outside Production.
