Hostings are investing heavily in AI with its launch of a new tool designed to help users build, edit and publish their own web apps without the need for coding expertise.
Hostings Horizons have already started rolling out to a selected group of customers who have used the tool without code to build web apps as a language learning card game and a time management tool.
The web hosting platform highlighted the versatility of web apps that offer more interactive and personal experiences compared to traditional sites.

Hostings revealed that the “vast majority” of its more than 3.5 million customers build traditional sites, highlighting how companies like Duolingo, Perception and Airbnb originally started as simple web apps – sites that had previously required greater expertise to Build.
“Coding web apps from scratch takes weeks or months and hiring a developer can cost thousands. For major projects, both time and cost grows exponentially, “noted Chief Product and Technology Officer Gedrius Zakaitis.
To build a web app with horizons, users will interact with a chatbot that uses AI to create, add and edit components on the site. The chat interface also has support for voice messages and uploads with image, and from the launch it is ready to support more than 80 languages.
Zakaitis added: “Web apps have transformed ideas to start millions of dollars, but to build a required coding or hiring of a developer. We think it’s time to change the game. “
When done, users can publish their web apps for a custom domain and they can always return to it to refine and update at any time.
The new product launch comes just over a year after hostings added code, a chat assistant that offers user guidance when it comes to building their site.
With four out of five of the company’s site builder users who now use artificial intelligence in their site building phase, Horizon’s AIS is expanding to another type of site.
Hostings say Horizons will generally be available to new and existing customers beginning next month.
