8 No Code Tools Integrating AI

Given the rapid rise of AI within the software development space, primarily fueled through the AI takeover from OpenAI's product, Chat GPT. As no-code tools began to become increasingly more popular, they have also started to integrate GPT along with other AI software to help with development for users. In the article below, we will analyze some of the AI integrations announced and implemented by major no-code tools and platforms.

Bubble

Bubble has recently integrated artificial intelligence onto the no-code platform, allowing for users to build their web apps and mobile apps using AI. Bubble apps allow you to now connect to ChatGPT, GPT-3, DALL-E2 and Whisper through the API platform provided by Open AI. Through these connections, users on the Bubble platform will be able to create AI-powered apps with the help of AI APIs. Additionally, the AI API connector also lets users define their own calls to Open AI in the editor, for integration into their own projects. Lastly, apart from the official Open AI APIs, Bubble has many community-build plugins that implement AI features, such as speech, images, text, and more into apps built on the Bubble platform.

FlutterFlow

FlutterFlow has recently announced FlutterFlow AI Gen, their latest AI initiative that allows users to utilize AI-powered features to build apps more effectively and efficiently. With FlutterFlow's AI Gen, users can create customized theme colors, schemas, components and even entire pages through the use of AI. AI Gen has a text to page feature that allows you to type in prompts to add to projects, such as "create a blog post that explains the no-code app development process on FlutterFlow". As we described above, you can also create backend schema and color themes through FlutterFlow's AI Gen.

Airtable

Airtable is a no-code platform to help develop applications through custom workflows. Airtable announced their Airtable AI product, to help users use AI to analyze, organize and connect all of the custom workflows you have built on the platform. The models within Airtable AI are provided through an OpenAI API. Some examples of use cases within Airtable AI can include summarizing and analyzing information using AI feedback, organizing information, creating text drafts and even translating content.

Appian

Appian is a no-code, low-code platform used for process automation within enterprises. These AI tools are perfect for users looking to enhance their process automation and improve corporate productivity with AI. Like Bubble, FlutterFlow and Airtable, Appian has OpenAI integration, allowing users to generate content and information through generative API services, based off of the OpenAi APIs. Additionally, you will be able to create forms and apps through Appian's AI document tools. Appian also offers AI-powered analytics to find insights within datasets. Lastly, AI models within Appian can be used to build prompts and add new prompts to customized workflows. Additionally, Appian's update 23.2 includes new AI integrations, such as document classification, document extraction and email classification. These features allow users of the Appian platform to automatically organize documents, extract information in documents, and classify emails through the use of AI.

Mendix

Mendix is a low-code application development platform used to create powerful and customized mobile and web applications at scale. Mendix has accelerated development capabilities with MxAssist, Mendix's built-in AIAD capabilities through AI-assisted development bots. MxAssist helps users and developers of all skill levels to utilize AI for quicker and more efficient deployment of low-code applications. MxAssist can help with onboarding and guidance, as well as debugging, and improving security and performance of the application. Some examples of use-cases within the Mendix platform can span Ai-powered modeling and logic functions, AI-powered audits and AI-powered operations functions.

OutSystems

OutSystems is a low-code development platform specifically targeting enterprise applications. They have recently implemented AI-powered tools to be used for enterprise application development. As we have seen with similar no-code platforms above, OutSystems uses generative AI to help with building applications and analyzing data. OutSystems have made it a priority to utilize AI for quick development, allowing developers on the platform build chatbots, text gen, and other use cases within a few minutes. Additionally, OutSystems offers AI Mentors to help with maintaining app structure, security and performance. The main use cases for OutSystems AI span content generation and analyzation, semantic searches and process automation.

UiPath

UiPath is a low-code robotic process automation software used for enterprises. Because UiPath is an RPA company, they have been using machine learning models since their inception. In addition to their general business offerings, they now offer an AI center that allows developers to create, train, deploy and analyze models with RPA. You can use your own LLM models, as well as UiPath's models for analysis and generation.

Retool

Retool is a low-code no-code platform that allows users quickly build and deploy internal tools, perfect for enterprise-level companies. Retool recently announced Retool AI, allowing users to build and integrate AI into workflows and internal tool applications, using pre-built blocks. Retool allows you to use any model and even connect sensitive data from your company. One major benefit through Retool's platform is the ability to build custom workflows with AI with quick deployment speeds. Retool AI also allows you to add actions using any language learning model, such as OpenAI, Azure, Anthropic, or others. You can even use your own model and custom API keys. With all of these AI capabilities, Retool ensures that deployment is secure between developers and end users, as all data is through self-hosted deployments, audit trails, permissions, and SSO.
