I am the founder of Dronahq - bootstrapped Low code platform. I fully concur with how AI is eating low code platforms for breakfast.
However underlying principles haven’t changed.
-Engineering bandwidth is minimally available for Internal tools. -Enterprise controls/guardrails are important needs - bringing in data to your app is a must have - maintaining code vs low code apps — low code has been a lot easier
In a conversation with a CTO at VC fund - he predicts that 4-6 quarters and you shall see demand back to peak in low code segment!
In a customer conversation— customer made one tool with cursor and he was very successful but by the time he started adding features for 2.0 everything started breaking and he wanted to move back to lowcode.
As a low code vendor- we just added internal tool building agent that underneath writes react code and leverages the other core capability of the platform thereby giving users best of both the worlds.
But surely interesting times ahead for the category. Let’s see if it survives or dies!
My personal take— it will survive and converge with agentic ai!
