How high will low code applications go? The jury is still out on how high this is all going. Low code and no code may even play a role in enabling business users to build artificial intelligence-driven applications, some observers predict.
Low and no code platforms make it possible "to deploy artificial intelligence without hiring an army of expensive developers and data scientists.," states Jonathon Reilly, writing in Harvard Business Review. "Removing friction from adoption will help unleash the power of AI across all industries and allow non-specialists to literally predict the future. In time, no-code AI platforms will be as ubiquitous as word-processing or spreadsheet software is today,"
Reilly advises looking for platforms that make such development as easy as possible -- a simple interface that integrates with popular enterprise applications; that data is automatically classified; automates model selection and training; and monitors model performance. "The user should not need to know their way around regression or k-nearest neighbor algorithms."
Not everyone agrees that low code and no code platforms can blaze a path to high-end application development -- at least not yet. "I don't believe the average business user can build and deploy sophisticated applications," says Kevin Harbauer, chief technology officer at Ephesoft. "Most of these low-code/no-code solutions require a fairly technical power user to be successful."
The art of creating a great application of any complexity "still requires work around user experience design, prioritizing the right features, and understanding workflows and algorithms," says Ed Sawma, VP of operations and marketing at Transposit. "it's only the implementation that's moved to drag-and-drop interfaces that don't require writing code."
Low-level automation is a popular use case, which "seems to be where the bulk of where these types of applications are being used outside of IT," says Harbauer. "These solutions allow power users to automate simple tasks, integrate data between systems and develop simple applications that would have required IT in the past."
