Low-code platforms + AI will dominate the future of enterprise software.

Here’s why this combination is so powerful—and how smart companies will win:

1. Low-code platforms slash development time.
   Building enterprise software used to take months. Now, platforms like OutSystems and Retool let teams ship in days. This speed is critical when tech landscapes evolve weekly.

2. AI makes those platforms exponentially more powerful.
   Instead of just dragging and dropping logic, AI can auto-generate workflows, write SQL queries, or suggest UI improvements. Platforms that embed AI reduce complexity for non-technical users.

3. The real opportunity lies in custom internal tools.
   Companies waste billions on rigid, off-the-shelf tools. With low-code + AI, teams can build internal apps tailored to their workflows—without expensive engineers.

4. Non-technical users become builders.
   This is a quiet revolution. Operations teams, analysts, and even HR can now build tools themselves—with guardrails. That’s faster iteration, lower dev bottlenecks, and more engaged teams.

5. Partnerships will be the growth engine.
   Low-code platforms need AI integrations (e.g., LLMs, copilots). AI tools need distribution. Expect more partnerships between low-code players and AI startups to meet this demand.
