The premise
No-code AI platforms lower the bar for AI workflow building; matching to use case matters.
What AI does well here
- Use no-code for prototypes and simple workflows
- Plan for migration to code when complexity grows
- Maintain governance even with no-code (it can run amok)
- Evaluate cost at scale (no-code can become expensive)
What AI cannot do
- Build complex workflows entirely in no-code without pain
- Substitute no-code for actual workflow design thinking
- Eliminate the need for technical understanding
