AIGC(AI Generated Content) and its application topics are growing explosively. With the continuous penetration and integration of industry and technology. 36Kr Research Institute has an insight that AIGC not only continuously enhances the quality, efficiency and practicability of content production, but also extends its radiation breadth. Among them, the breakthrough of key technologies and basic theories will become an important factor in the ecological landing of AIGC industry.
On March 9th, Yanhuang Yingdong officially released the first AI low-code platform in China, as a successful attempt to inspire the integration of ToB software industry and AIGC, marking that the low-code field has officially entered a new stage of integration with AI generation applications.
"Based on the AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) language model, the application to be developed is understood through natural language, and the reasoning result is transformed into an application model structure that conforms to the aPaaS platform, and then the same effect as the artificial application is shown". On the landing side, Liu Jinzhu, CEO of Yanhuang Yingdong, explained to 36Kr the company’s accumulation and precipitation in MDA(Model Driven Architecture) technology and years of exploration of AI application scenarios in recent 20 years, and finally found a breakthrough point in the combination of MDA and AIGC, which provided basic conditions and experience support for the landing of low-code platform for AI generation application.
AI generation application is the core capability of the next generation AI low code platform.
Low-code development platform refers to a tool that can quickly generate applications without coding or through a small amount of code. On the one hand, it can reduce the labor cost of enterprise application development, on the other hand, it can double the development cycle and help enterprises reduce costs, increase efficiency and iterate flexibly.
According to Forrester analyst Lu Guannan, the existing exploration scenarios based on Generative AI (also called AIGC) technology cover text generation, image generation, video generation and code generation. At present, there is no case of directly generating commercial applications in production environment through generative artificial intelligence in China. In addition, Gartner once pointed out in the research report that the global low-code development platform can be divided into head SaaS enterprises and general platform enterprises. In the early days, the path of the integration of AI and low-code development platform was that the head SaaS enterprise realized the communication between AI technology and tool software by integrating generative AI, thus helping users to reduce repetitive, mechanical, rule-oriented work and even undertake creative work.Now, as a general platform enterprise, Yanhuang Yingdong has implemented the second path of integration of AI and low-code development platform through model-driven architecture technology, combined with general artificial intelligence and generative AI.
On the one hand, AI generation application can assist ordinary people or product managers to directly generate the desired application system, and AI automatically generates results according to the input application name; On the other hand, supplementary requirements can be input to emphasize AI’s understanding of generation requirements. From this, we can see that the low-code field is welcoming a revolutionary breakthrough: from passive acceptance to inspired creation, AI generation application is the core capability of the next generation AI low-code platform.
Take the "Easy Whale Cloud" low/no code platform as an example,In the testing stage, based on the AIGC mode, when the user inputs the desired application name (such as invoicing), the platform infers the relevant contents of invoicing through the AI products trusted by the user, and automatically assembles a complete application. When the AIGC generation application is not satisfied, the user’s personalized needs can be met by dragging and dragging, and the iteration continues.
「Before」Hand-built, complete the initial structure in hours.
「After」AI generates applications and completes the initial structure in seconds.
It is worth mentioning that in order to let some people "try early" first,Yanhuang Yingdong has opened the trial invitation code for new and old customers, experts in the field of AI and low code.It is reported that on March 18th, the 2nd Low Code Geek Challenge jointly organized by Yanhuang Yingdong and Low Code Times was held in Shanghai, and the contestants had the opportunity to give priority to using the "Easy Whale Cloud" AI low/no code platform for AI generation applications."Easy Whale Cloud" official website will also issue trial accounts to registered users in a limited time., used for communication and interaction.
Similar to AI generation application, AI generation code refers to letting AI learn programming technology and write high-quality code according to learning, which is used to assist programmers to realize code completion, algorithm logic generation, language conversion and application program generation. Today, AI code generation is more and more deeply involved in the actual programming work. With the rapid development of IT productivity, the related thinking and discussion about AI accelerating digital talents and its influence on IT practitioners are gradually heated.
Thousands of industries have zero threshold, and everyone is a developer.
According to Xu Enqing of Yunda Institute of China ICT Institute, AIGC will drive the development of low/code-free high level, which is reflected in the following three aspects:
-Technical side: program developers can develop software through natural language instructions, expand visualization resources on a large scale, and improve the controllability of application code;
-Application side: AIGC helps non-programmers to quickly enter the creative environment of application construction and accelerate the development process of national development;
-Market side: AIGC provides diversified solutions in a short time, and cooperates with low/no-code technology to complete some more complex business innovations.
The industry is blowing the horn of a new wave. The low-code platform for AI generation application is expected to open a new AIGC track, which will empower all industries to cultivate digital talents, accelerate digital transformation and build digital China.
In the past, there were some problems in the communication between business personnel and IT, such as poor timeliness, inaccurate information and high communication cost. Correspondingly, the low-code platform supporting AI generation application accurately realized the participation of digital talents in the whole process from conception, testing, optimization to landing. On the one hand, the diversity of AI generation applications brings more inspiration and innovation to digital talents and enhances the digital innovation of society. On the other hand, it is also accelerating the implementation of the goal of "everyone is a developer" and the construction of digital talents.
Bright road ahead, higher productivity and stronger sense of innovation.
For enterprises, paying more attention to the low-code platform supporting AI generation applications, how large customers can be delivered, and how complex application scenarios can be developed in which industry application scenarios are the core concerns. In this regard, Jiang Yufei, the head of Hongsheng Beverage Informatization, believes that the "Easy Whale Cloud" AI low/no code platform that uses AI to generate applications has the following characteristics:
-Rapid increase in efficiency: completing an initial concept application, and improving productivity by 2 to 3 exponential levels;
-Rich capabilities: storage, forms, rules, processes and reports can be automatically generated;
-Auxiliary building: In addition to automatically generating complete applications, you can also use AI to build local functions in your own built applications;
-Simple modification: An important feature of AIGC is that people can participate and drag and drop to modify the prototype generated by AI, without code or Bug.
From the traditional programming to the low-code platform supporting AI-generated applications, the speed of application construction is increasing exponentially. Yanhuang Yingdong released the first low-code platform of AI in China this time. While opening a new curtain of the era, the integration trend of AI-generated applications and industry technologies also shows a broader prospect. "Although the low-code platform supporting AI-generated applications generates relatively simple applications limited to business and management in the ToB field, further imagination of generating applications may soon reach the link between AI and AI, and the link between low-code ecology and AI ecology. Undoubtedly, the next stage of development in the low-code field has arrived."
