The rise of no-code AI tools “ No-code / low-code ( NCLC ) AI tools are essentially any tools that allow automation of coding efforts through plug-and-play or drag-and-drop UI ,” explains Jody Bailey , Stack Overflow ’ s Chief Technology Officer . These platforms are designed to be userfriendly , enabling individuals with little to no coding skills to solve specific business issues .
Amitha Pulijala , Vice President of Product at Vonage , adds another layer to this definition . “ NCLC tools are used for designing and developing an application using intuitive ‘ drag and drop ’ tools that eliminate the need for advanced code development ,” she states . According to Pulijala , these tools are not just time-savers . “ In recent years , these tools have become popular because of their ability to accelerate development and offer greater choice to users . Not only do NCLC tools save developers time by eliminating the need to write lines and lines of code , they also minimise the chance of encountering bugs , as the templates have already been tested .”
An interesting thing about this new explosion of AI this year is just how accessible it is to non-technical users , adds Conor Egan , Vice President of Product and Engineering at Contentstack . “ Until now , we had this preconceived notion that AI was this scary , complex thing that only highly-skilled developers could access and benefit from . Now , we have one of the most expensive , computationally intensive systems ever
