Beyond the Prompt: Where AI Drafts and Humans Design the Real App
Let’s be honest – we all get the hype. A new AI coding tool drops. An AI app builder promises magic. You try it… and wow. In minutes, you’ve got a shiny app. But is it enough?

Throughout 2025, App Builder continued to evolve as a practical, production-ready low-code platform shaped by real customer needs and a growing focus on AI-assisted development.
Our December release brings together several improvements that make building and refining apps more predictable and efficient.
It’s safe to say that AI-powered app building makes the most sense in scenarios where speed, iteration, and reduced manual effort are critical. But how to handle it? We give you the steps.
AI features like Speech-to-Text prompts, AI-powered theme management, view generation from images, and smarter data source creation now make building apps faster and more intuitive. You’ll also see a richer CRM Sample App with more views, smarter Quick Add for charts, sliders, and inputs, and improved List Item Selection for smoother control of dynamic and manual lists.
App Builder’s one-click deployment takes a significant step towards simplifying modern web app development. By eliminating the need for manual configuration and seamlessly connecting design, code generation, and deployment, teams can focus on innovation instead of infrastructure.
The low-code development is changing fast. That’s for sure. Pro-code developers no longer see it as a practice that only empowers citizen developers or junior programmers. But what are the factors that influenced the shift in their mindset and development philosophy?
Continuous delivery no longer has to be complex or resource-heavy. With low-code platforms like App Builder, teams can fast-track development, automate prototyping, testing, and deployment, and leverage AI capabilities, making releases faster and more reliable.
AI code generation is powerful. It’s fast, flexible, and great for tackling isolated coding challenges or exploring ideas. But it’s not a silver bullet. Relying on it alone for complex, scalable, or production-grade applications comes with tradeoffs in consistency, security, and collaboration. That’s where tools like App Builder come in.
It’s release time! This App Builder update brings AI-powered features, new visualization tools, and smoother data handling. ApexCharts lets you create interactive charts right in the platform, while Pivot Grid auto-generates pivot views from your data. See it all in action.
