- AI will improve solutions with low code and non-code, not replace them, report allegations
- App Builder Report says most managers have seen costs and time savings with low/no-no-code
- Businesses need to continue to support the developer resking
Low code and non-code tools remain crucial and will continue to live on in an AI-enhanced era, new research has claimed.
Despite artificial intelligence promise to increase coding efficiency and accessibility, tech leaders see AI as improving low and non-coding tools instead of replacing them.
A report from App Builder revealed almost all (95%) companies have used low and non-coding tools in the past year for software development, highlighting their spread to businesses everywhere.
Three out of four (76%) technology leaders imagine AI that make their existing tools more efficient, with even more (84%) confirming that AI will not replace their dependence on low-code solutions and non-code.
“When AI converges with low code and non-code, we see a brand new paradigm emerging that will change, how apps are built, who can build them and how quickly it can happen,” said Jason Beres, SVP of developer tools at Infragistics, the company behind the App Builder.
Almost every (98%) tech leader has reported on the development of development time with low and non-code solutions, with almost four out of five (78%) companies saving up to 50%of development time. Another two out of three (67%) say they have reduced their costs by up to 30%, by one in ten more than halving their costs thanks to simpler tools.
The report noted that companies are increasingly focused on building custom apps- a lack of resources and a global skills shortages are making solutions with low and non-code, especially useful in this area.
Beres added companies should not only focus on automating app development to improve efficiency, productivity and collaboration, but they should also continue to invest in emerging to ensure that their workers are prepared to handle new technologies and changing demands.
