Generative AI Enables Next Generation of Low Code Platforms

Generative AI including ChatGPT, Bard and others have captured the imagination of millions of people. 

It is a powerful tool that has the potential to revolutionize many industries and aspects of our lives. As generative AI models continue to improve and become more accessible, we are seeing even more innovative and groundbreaking applications, especially in the area of low-code platforms.

Generative AI is expanding the range of applications that can be built with low-code platforms. Generative AI can be used to generate code for a wide variety of tasks, including natural language processing, machine-learning, and data science. This allows low-code platforms to be used to solve exponentially complex and sophisticated applications than was previously possible.

It is also making low-code platforms more accessible to non-technical users. Generative AI can be used to generate code from natural language descriptions, which makes it possible for users to create software applications without having to learn how to code. This is a significant benefit for citizen developers and business users who want to create custom software applications to meet their specific needs.

Moreover, it is improving the quality and performance of code generated by low-code platforms. Generative AI can be used to generate code that is more efficient, scalable, and secure than code that is written manually. This is because generative AI can be trained on large datasets of code to learn the best practices for writing high-quality code. 

Here are some specific examples of how generative AI is helping existing low code platforms:

·      Mendix, one of the premier low code development platforms Quogent supports has been around for many years.

·      Recently, with AI-guided development and next-generation smart-app capabilities based on generative AI,  Mendix has streamlined development and empowered enterprises to deliver intelligent, context-aware, and proactive applications.

·      The Mendix family of AI-assisted development bots, called MxAssist, empowers developers of various skill sets to build sophisticated apps of the highest level of quality, performance, and consistency.

·      Integrated into the IDE, MxAssist offers everything from providing guidance to enforcing best practices. For novice developers, AIAD means faster onboarding and higher-quality software. For experienced developers, MxAssist will streamline development and use anti-patterns to identify and remove inefficiencies.

·      Microsoft Power Apps is a low-code platform that allows users to create custom software applications without having to write code. Microsoft has integrated generative AI into Power Apps to make it easier for users to create applications that involve natural language processing, such as chatbots and virtual assistants.

·      Google Cloud AppSheet is a low-code platform that allows users to create mobile apps without having to write code. AppSheet has integrated generative AI into its platform to help users generate code for specific tasks, such as creating forms and integrating with APIs.

Overall, generative AI is helping to make low-code platforms more powerful, accessible, and reliable. This is validating the potential of low-code platforms to democratize software development and make it possible for anyone to create software applications, regardless of their technical expertise.
