The development of low-code platforms included several fundamental stages and was a natural consequence of the emergence of RAD — Rapid Application Development tools to increase the efficiency of software development teams. Initially, the challenge was to eliminate the need for programming or writing scripts by providing the designer with a graphical user interface. The emphasis on faster and faster generation of business applications and the search for savings by agile organizations has led to the search for opportunities to automate the work of both the designer and the user of the generated application. This stage is already behind us, because what was possible to automate has already been automated.
And so came the era of artificial intelligence. The LLM and RAG models and natural language communication have entered human-computer communication. Breaking the communication barrier concerns both the application designer and its user, and apart from the conversational interface, chat or data search and classification, only imagination limits further areas of application of AI models.
It seems that the consequence of the AI revolution will be a change in the designation of platforms supporting the development of applications, because design without coding - low-code, turns into the creation of applications supported by artificial intelligence - AI - Augmented Development.
The use of AI in our Meltemee platform improves both the efficiency of the work of the low-code designer and the end application user, while increasing the functionality of the tool and the solution being created. The support of the designer is primarily automatic generation of application logic and communication in natural language. The AI in Meltemee becomes a virtual assistant to the designer, suggesting optimal components, generating database schemas based on business requirements, supporting testing, and even proposing preliminary versions of user interfaces, which significantly speeds up the design cycle and reduces errors.
The use of artificial intelligence means that Meltemee low-code applications are not only useful tools, but also play a role Active members of the team:
Thanks to this, Meltemee solutions not only increase efficiency, but also participate in the daily work of teams. It's a technology that works with people, not just supports them.
