Low-Code, More Power: How AI is Opening Up App Development for All

By Austin Williams, Product Manager

Custom apps have the power to transform business operations, and demand for them is growing. Across all departments within organizations, teams are looking to harness the potential of custom apps—and this need is driving a significant shift in how businesses approach app development.

The good news? The power to create these essential apps no longer rests solely in the hands of IT experts. Thanks to low-code platforms and AI, application development is being democratized to empower a much broader range of users.

Why the Shift? The Need for Democratization

Traditional app development often creates a bottleneck, with IT teams struggling to keep up with the sheer volume of requests. This is precisely why 97% of IT leaders are now advocating for empowering non-technical users to build, deploy, and maintain applications and integrations.

Low-code app development platforms are at the forefront of this movement, enabling individuals without extensive technical backgrounds to develop applications more easily.

AI: The Game Changer for App Development

The arrival of AI Assistants is making app development even more accessible. AI is fundamentally changing software development by automating repetitive coding tasks, optimizing debugging processes, and significantly enhancing overall efficiency.

This automation also plays a crucial role in reducing the time spent on manual coding. In fact, an Arxiv survey indicates that AI coding assistants can speed up developer tasks by a remarkable 55.8%.
