We are now living in the era of artificial intelligence, and developers are turning what was once a reserved service into digital tools everyone can use. As far as building software solutions go, you have probably heard the words “Low Code” and “No Code” (the two terms we all like).

Traditionally, a skilled programmer would write your applications and software for you. However, the introduction of no-code tools has drastically reduced the necessity to use them, since you can’t depend on them to turn your ideas into reality.

According to Wikipedia, No-code development platforms (NCDPs) allow and non-programmers to create through graphical user interfaces and configuration instead of traditional. No-code development platforms are closely related to low-code development platforms as both are designed to expedite the application development process. These platforms have both increased in popularity as companies deal with the parallel trends of an increasingly mobile workforce and a limited supply of competent “

Although no-code is not yet a popular term in Africa and is still an emerging term around the world, a lot of digital creations have solved a lot of global issues.

The shortage of experienced coders, making science effortless for everyone, led to the uprising of the no-code movement. Backed with a lot of AI usage, activities are being maximized, and the skills gap is slowly closing up, putting the superpower of AI into the hands of everyone.

For many entrepreneurs and SMEs, no-code has become a “supermum” by providing easier ways to manage their tasks, thereby increasing their level of productivity, and in the long run their revenue.

It was a miracle in 1985 when Microsoft released the first version of Excel, which allowed people to manipulate, analyze, and visualize data without writing a single line of code.

Then came WordPress in 2003, the first digital product that allowed the populace to build a website without ever knowing a line of code.

Since then, there have been many no-code tools that have made performing tedious and repetitive tasks much easier thanks to automation.

Enterprise operations have long sought to increase productivity and boost efficiency through automation. In response, no-code software applications sprung up with unique and personalized solutions, with automation to move things along.
