The Evolution of Low-code/No-code Platforms with AI
Enterprises are increasingly turning to advanced low-code/no-code platforms infused with AI capabilities to usher in a new era of application development, according to a recent ISG Provider Lens™ report.
Rising Demand for Enterprise-grade Applications
In a quest to craft finely-tailored enterprise-grade applications, businesses are placing heightened expectations on low-code/no-code development platforms. This new paradigm is epitomized by the desire for solutions featuring intuitive interfaces for non-technical users and the capacity to construct sophisticated software. The infusion of AI is playing a pivotal role in empowering these platforms to deliver on these demands.
The Role of AI in Accelerating Innovation
Artificial Intelligence is revolutionizing the development landscape by offering automation across various facets of the low-code/no-code development process. From automating decision-making and code generation to enhancing security protocols and expediting query resolution, AI is at the forefront of facilitating the integration of AI and ML functionalities in applications. The advent of Generative AI (GenAI) is further streamlining development by generating visual elements based on developer requirements, thereby simplifying the application building process for non-technical users.
Embracing Component-based Architectures
The shift towards component-based architectures is becoming increasingly prominent within low-code platforms. Enabling users to construct applications through the drag-and-drop of pre-built modules, this approach fosters a collaborative environment where developers and users alike can create reusable components and propagate best practices, ensuring the adaptability and longevity of these platforms.
Empowering Collaboration and Flexibility
The synergy between IT professionals and business users is being catalyzed through low-code development, fostering fusion teams that harmonize business objectives with technical solutions. Furthermore, the evolution of no-code platforms is unlocking new possibilities through hybrid development capabilities, allowing enterprises to customize and extend software as needed, thereby striking a balance between flexibility and the inherent simplicity of no-code development.
