Frequently asked questions

What is an AI low-code platform?

An AI low-code platform is a software development environment that uses visual interfaces, drag-and-drop components, and integrated artificial intelligence to help users build applications and automate workflows much faster than traditional coding.

Do I need coding experience to use these platforms?

Most AI low-code platforms are designed for citizen developers and require little to no coding experience for basic tasks. However, having basic knowledge of logic, data structures, or languages like JavaScript can help when building more advanced customisations.

How do AI low-code tools handle data security?

Enterprise-grade platforms typically offer robust security features, role-based access control, and compliance certifications. Many also support private AI instances to ensure that sensitive company data is not used to train public models.
