koderAI emerged from stealth today to launch a platform that leverages agentic artificial intelligence (AI) to enable anyone without any programming skills to build their own applications using a natural language interface.
The koderAI platform makes extensive use of AI agents to complete tasks that previously would have required the expertise of a professional developer, says koderAI CEO Elmer Morales.
Unlike generative AI tools that are designed to make professional developers more efficient, the koderAI platform is designed to make application development accessible to billions of people that have an idea or workflow they want to implement in software, adds Morales.
Rather than constantly having to work with a human developer to constantly refine application requirements, the koderAI platform allows anyone to create a functioning application using AI agents that have been trained to automate various tasks, he notes. Those AI agents design wireframes, generate code, set up databases, create test scripts and then deploy the application. “We’re eliminating the need to create the same old wheels over and over,” he says.
Additionally, organizations can swap out large language models (LLMs) as they best see fit to either add additional agents or revamp existing ones, notes Morales.
That capability will not only dramatically increase the pace at which applications are built; it will also give rise to new classes of application that end users will temporarily create to automate a specific task, such as creating a Christmas shopping list that can be easily shared with other family members, that can be disposed of when no longer needed, notes Morales.
Many of those types of applications have historically not been built, simply because finding a developer that had the time and inclination to build them was simply too difficult, adds Morales.
In fact, the bulk of applications that most end users want to be able to create are relatively simple, said Morales. AI agents, for example, can easily create a forms-based application to drive a business workflow without requiring the expertise of a human developer, he says. Many of those applications are so rote to build that many developers are not especially challenged or even interested in building them, says Morales.
It’s not clear to what degree the koderAI platform might one day eliminate the need for professional developers altogether. There are still millions of developers that are needed to build and manage complex applications. However, it’s clear AI agents will be able to build increasingly complex applications as the underlying reasoning capabilities provided by LLMs continue to improve.
In the meantime, many application developers might just as easily prefer to have end users create their own applications versus adding more requests to a backlog of projects they will never have the time to complete.
In general, there is an expectation that advances in AI will lead to more new applications being built and deployed in a few short years than there were in the entire last decade. That goal, however, is never going to be achieved if the only people building them are professional developers.
