Gartner® Report: Why AI Won’t Replace the Need for Low-Code Application Platforms
Jan 6, 2026
Now that GenAI and vibe coding tools can create apps, is LCAP still relevant? This Gartner® Report offers a deeper look at the possibilities.

Low Code, Lower Risk?
Standalone “vibe coding” tools are now offering non-technical users another way to create software using little more than natural-language prompts. But while these tools can utilize natural language input to generate code, the quality of this code can vary significantly, and often involve tradeoffs in the form of risk mitigation, code abstraction, maintainability and more.
In “Why AI Won’t Replace the Need for Low-Code Application Platforms,” Gartner outlines why GenAI/vibe coding tools shouldn’t be treated as a substitute for LCAPs – and explains why the best approach may be one you haven’t even considered yet.
You’ll also learn:
- The risks of relying on vibe coding alone
- Ideal use cases for AI code assistants/agents
- Which approach — GenAI / vibe coding or LCAP — is better for time-to-market and TCO
“Ultimately, vibe coding accelerates typing. LCAPs accelerate engineering.”—Gartner
