NO CODE, JUST PROMPT: Are AI app builders a threat to Software Engineers

With the rise of AI technologies, AI tools are invading each field of the modern world. Even though the Software Engineers gave birth to AI, now AI started to challenge them and replace them from the IT field. Here's a comparison of some powerful AI tools which help to build applications with no-code capabilities:

1. Replit Tool (with Replit AI/Agent)

The two features of Replit Tool; Replit AI are focusing on AI Code assisting and debugging while the Replit Agent is helping to build powerful full stack applications. Replit Tool allows you to describe our idea about the website through natural language using a Prompt-based Design (text, file attachments, URLs, screenshots). It will generate a full stack application with frontend, backend and database connection and you can push projects to github through Replit. In addition, Replit follows "no-coding required" experience to users. You can build and make changes to your application by using simple prompts from any language. But if you are happy with the manual editing, Replit allows it for you. Further, Replit has integrations like Expo that enable you to create mobile applications without local setup, deploying directly to iOS or Android devices.You can use AI to transform natural language into working mobile code. You can link deployed products with your own domain through Replict when you are deploying the web app.

Strengths :

• Full-stack generation: Can build both frontend and backend logic, including database setup and storage.
• Integrated environment: They offer a full stack development, app deployment, hosting environment and github version control in one place.
• Collaboration: Supports to share projects through different accounts, allows real-time collaborative coding.
• Support for payment platforms: such as stripe, PayPal.
• Perfect error handling
• Facilitates sufficient free usage limit to understand the tools and their usages.
• Suitable for long-term development.
• Inviting Collaboration projects.

Limitations :

• A basic knowledge (some times in advance) on coding and programming is important to handle a complex system.
• Agent’s pricing models are very expensive.
• Showing a slow performance on complex features.

2. Lovable Tool

It basically provides a no code platform and mainly focuses on high quality UI and generates visually pleasing applications. Further, it creates Prompt-based Design and when you describe the app you want, Lovable generates a working version with UI, database, and backend logic from minimal prompting. It generates entire apps, including frontend interfaces and backend logic. This tool mainly focuses on web apps, but if generated via React UI code can potentially adapt for mobile apps also.

Strengths :

• Ease of Use: Very user-friendly for non-technical users.
• Strong UI/UX: Excels at generating aesthetically pleasing interfaces.
• Full-stack generation: Can generate frontend, backend, and database logic
• Support for payment platforms: such as stripe, PayPal.
• Import UI design from Figma.
• Facilitates sufficient free usage limit to understand the tools and their usages.
• Inviting Collaboration projects.
• Pure speed and ease of use.

Limitations :

• Full code editing available for some premium plans only.
• Sensitive prompt: complaints on prompt issues.
• Struggling when creating complex project.
• Focuses only on web apps.

I explained here about Replit and Lovable tools based on my own experience. My opinion about the above two platforms is, if you are a beginner or have no knowledge about coding (Black Box perspective) use the Lovable tool. If you have knowledge about programming and are happy to build applications with learning about architecture (White box Perspective) use Replit tool. There are more AI app builder tools than these two tools currently using in the world. Based on your expectations, other tools may perform better and be more cost effective.

The most important thing is, to each AI tool you must create an account. If you don’t like to share your personal email for such third parties, you can try this temporary email generator. It allows you to access all these powerful AI tools without making you worry about sharing your personal or professional information.

Before selecting a tool and getting a premium plan for it you should try multiple AI tools until free prompt limitation exceeds. Then you can select what is the best AI tool for your scenario.Therefore generate a temporary email for free from Temp Mail Plus and experience all the AI tools and select what’s best for you.Using temporary email you can keep your professional email clutter-free and secure without spam or scams
