74%
of technology purchases are
funded, at least partially, by
business units (BUs) outside of IT.
Gartner 2022
65%
of all app development by 2024
will be by low code and no code
technology. Gartner 2022
Low-code No-code software
development helps developers
make cloud-native applications
more than 10Xfaster (with
70%fewer resources). Forester
Increasing trends toward No-Code and GenAI
80%
of the user base in 2024 will be
developers outside formal IT
departments using low-code
development. Gartner 2022
organizations that
empower citizen developers
score 33%higher on
innovation measures than
those that do not. McKinsey
80%
or more enterprises will have
used generative AI APIs and
models and/or deployed GenAI-
enabled applications by 2026.
Gartner 2022
Driving forces
• Increasing economic pressure
• Rising demand for operational efficiency,
• widening skills gap,
• Highly customized automation workflows
• Agility and adaptability
• Embracing composable enterprise
From Low Code to No Code
• Platforms that allow users to build
applications and workflow solutions
without having to write code.
• Visual environment using:
• drag-and-drop, or wizard,
• and now Generative AI
• No technical experience
• Platforms that are used to rapidly
develop and run custom applications by
abstracting and minimizing the use of
programming languages. Gartner
• Visual environment using:
• Drag-and-drop, or wizard
• May require some technical experience
Low Code No Code
Use cases: Web development App development Task automation System integration AI development
Low Code / No Code platforms
Power Apps
Application Express
Zoho Creator Pega Platform Kiss Flow
Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms
Benefits of Low Code/ No Code
• Fostering innovation
• Accelerate business transformation
• Through agility and adaptability
• Faster development
• Increased productivity
• Empower users and citizens to develop apps
• No coding skills
• Benefits from cloud, Integration, and Scalability
Benefits
• 30 - 40% Boost in operational efficiency
• 25 - 30% reduction in direct cost
• 10 – 15% increase in workforce capacity
A Beginning Era of Generative AI: The Next
Productivity Frontier
• 40% of all working hours can be impacted by large language
models (LLMs) like GPT-4. Accenture report 2023
• 62%
• 62% of Language tasks account for 51% of the total time
employees work. Accenture report 2023
• Generative AI could enable labour productivity growth of 0.1
to 0.6% annually through 2040. McKinsey 2023 report
• Combining generative AI with all other technologies, work
automation could add 0.2 to 3.3%points annually to
productivity growth. McKinsey 2023 report
Generative AI use cases
• LLMs generate text, images, code, videos, music,, etc
• Text Generation
• Text summarization
• Translation
• Code generation
• Customized conversational chatbots
• Data and sentiment analysis
• Image-to-text
Example: Ask ChatGPT to build a website
Prompt:
Generate an html code for a conference website about No Code meets Generative AI
and include topics such as the Generative AI revolution, convergence of No Code with
GenAI, Gen AI use cases. Add tabs in Orange color for speaker information, Agenda,
Registration, and Contact Information. The conference will be hosted in Dubai on 21
Nov 2023. include a background image about generative AI
What if software development is
transformed into a conversation?
I dream of a future where I can describe
application requirements in plain language,
and AI will translate these descriptions into a
complete, production-ready app!
No Code With Generative AI
• Generative AI is a turbocharger for Low Code / No
Code environment
• Democratizing automation
• Natural language to Apps
• Natural language to process
• Image to process
• Natural language to forms
• Data processing, analysis, and predictions
• Natural language to anything as a service!
• DMN + BPA + GenAI = Intelligent Automation
• AI + APIs --< The future
• The Hyper-Productivity Era
• GPTs: Custom versions of ChatGPT made for specific
purposes
Convergence of No Code Platforms with Generative AI
• Integration with LLMs provides useful functionality
• Dynamic experience with conversational chatbots
• Democratize application development
• Fostering creativity and innovation
• Prompting
• Examples:
• Create a purchase request process
• Create a workflow that automates inventory updates
• Design an app to manage inventory with automatic restocking
From: Processmaker
Example: No Code with MS Bing
No Code and GenAI adoption in the MENA
• UAE and Saudi Arabia are driving demand
• Three summits in 2023
• Saudi Arabia and Dubai
• UAE launched GenAI guideline
• Dubai GenAI Assembly
• Abu Dhabi TII – developing LLMs
• Jais, Falcon 40B/180B
• Dubai Center for AI (DCAI)
• Future of GenAI in government services
• Future of GenAI in media and communication
• Dubai.AI: Personal digital assistant
• Major platform developers are located in Dubai
• Sectors: Government, Oil & Gas, Retail, Construction,
Finance, Manufacturing,,etc
Challenges to adoption
• Ethical issues
• Governance risks
• Privacy concerns
• Transparency
• Security risks
• Re-skilling staff
• A challenge to IT
• compromise IT’s governance over the tech stack
• Non-deterministic nature of GenAI
Source: Sloan Management Review, Nov 14 2023
The future of No Code is AI Agents
• In the near future, anyone who’s online will be able
to have a personal assistant powered by artificial
intelligence that’s far beyond today’s technology.”
Bill Gates
• Agents as the next platforms
• AI Agents will upend software industry as we know it
today
• Accomplish tasks across applications
• Improve over time
• Democratizing services
• Personalized AI assistants. OpenAI GPTs: a glimpse
into the future
• Business agents available to help staff and customers
• Areas: healthcare, education, productivity,
entertainment, shopping,,etc
Critical Success Factors
• Shifts in mindset
• Re-skilling (AI Literacy, Creativity, critical thinking,
and problem-solving)
• Adoption of ethical and responsible AI
• Change management
• Org maturity
• A culture of democratized technology development
End
Thank you
