Low-Code vs Gen AI: Will Low-Code Tools Become Obsolete in a World Driven by Generative AI?
Abstract
Low Code tools and Generative AI are both seeing increased usage for developing software. These technologies, though addressing the same issue of simplifying software development and making it more accessible, have distinct competencies, functionalities, and uses. While low-code environments lower the barrier to entry for citizen coders, generative AI produces code without the need for any coding knowledge, yet raises concerns about the opacity of its processes. However, this does not necessarily mean that low code and generative AI tools are in a collision course or in competition with one another; integrating them together will instead lead to tools that are accessible, flexible, and capable of increasingly complex code building. This amalgamation of functionality may transform the role of developers and democratize software development, reinventing what it means to be a developer.
This analyst insights report examines numerous key findings from across our syndicated survey report series together with secondary research on the trends in software development, detailing the trajectory of both low code and generative artificial intelligence and their interlinked potential.
