Gartner has predicted that by 2025, 70% of new applications developed by enterprises will utilise low-code or no-code technologies. Furthermore, the global no-code AI platforms market is expected to grow to $24.8 billion by 2029. These numbers are no surprise, knowing that no-code solutions bring significant cost reductions and speed up development processes. The best news? If you are using Google Workspace, you probably already have access to a powerful no-code tool – Google AppSheet.
I recently co-authored a guide at Devoteam on building no-code apps with Google AppSheet and Gemini.
The guide hopefully provides a clear overview of AppSheet’s capabilities, highlighting its ability to connect to existing data sources like Google Sheets and SQL databases. It also delves into how the new Gemini integration allows anyone to generate an application’s structure simply by describing their idea in plain English. The guide includes some real-world use cases—from inventory management to streamlining hotel audits—demonstrating the tangible impact of empowering “citizen developers” within an organisation.
For the Google Workspace Developer community, hopefully this guide offers a useful lens through which to view the no-code landscape. Understanding these platforms—their capabilities, their audience, and their limitations—can be useful when deciding whether to build a full custom solution or to empower a team with a no-code tool.
