AI-Enhanced Low-Code: Bridging The Gap Between Business Users And IT
techstrong.ai, Friday, September 6th, 2024
The idea of useful applications created without writing a line of code certainly isn't a new idea to take flight, but it is reaching cruising altitude. The makers of low-code platforms hope AI-powered natural language chatbots will get low-code development to its full potential.
Still, some say adding new AI capabilities to these toolsets isn't the right way for enterprises to consider their low-code efforts.
The history of creating useful applications without human programmers goes back to the 1970s with the concept of fourth-generation programming languages and later rapid application development tools. And in 1982, James Martin's book, Application Development Without Programmers, was published. Martin foresaw a computing world without programmers. But it's only been since the advent of modern low-code development platforms, and citizen developers are bringing that vision closer to reality.
