“Twin Disruption of No-code and AI"
Speaker Introduction
The Looking Glass for the Coming Decade

9. Quick Poll
9
What buzzwords come to
your mind when you think
No Code?

10. Challenges in Product Development via Coding
10
• SDLC on Engineering front is hard and requires great deal of discipline and
rigour in standards.
• Tech is ever changing and ever evolving.
• It takes time to become real good Developers/Testers
• Keeping-up code quality with changes is hard discipline to master. It takes
more than standards and governance.
• Developing 0-1 products to test market fitness, or developing new products on
top of other services to improve overall business processes of org is still time
consuming from ideation to realization.
• It takes a lot of resources and human capital to get things done.

11. The Path Forward
11
• Automation of processes
• Automate the “mundane” things
-Automation
• Commoditization of services
• Identify, Modularize and Wrap services as
commodity
Commoditization
• Ideate and Iterate by building new
system/processess plugging disparate
systems/services
Plug & Play

12. No-Code & AI In The Realm Of Automation
12

13. Dissecting No-code Low-code (NCLC) Automation
13
• Automating integration of REST API based web-services over Internet
• Eg. Tools - IFTTT, Snaplogic, Zapier, MuleSoft Anypoint Platform
Platform Integration
Services
• Mostly desktop automation of individual, discrete and repetitive tasks
• E.g.. Tools – Chatbots (internet), BluePrism, Automation Anywhere, UiPath
RPA
• Ability to Define New Processes automating flows across services and org
functions for better efficiency.
• Web/Desktop dependent on Vendor.
• Eg. Tools – MS Power Apps and Automate, Kissflow, Zoho Creator
BPA

14. Dissecting AI Broadly
14
Inferential
Predictive
Generative

15. How are things unfolding in NCLC segment?
15
• Merging the capabilities of Platform Integration Services, RPA and BPA into All-
in-one Big-bang Service.
• Integrating AI-enabled services as part of product suite, eg.
◦ (Inferential AI services) Image to Text conversion, Image matching,
◦ (Predictive AI services) Model based prediction
◦ (Generative AI services)generate content from its data sources, etc. taking BPA to the next
level.
• More and more platforms (Microsoft, Google, Desktop, Web, etc.) and services
(Outlook, Gmail, ZohoMail, MailChimp, SendGrid, etc.) integration support.

16. The Challenges for NCLC segment?
16
• The capabilities to acquire/support are still at large. There isn’t a tool that
supports all platforms/services for integration.
• The market is flooded with a ton of NCLC tools. Who wins and who loses is an
unknown to deal with.
• NCLC is here to stay. But what about NCLC tool?
• The future is a mirage here, unfortunately. What would come to your rescue
either way is your experience. So do take the plunge!

17. Why NCLC?
17
• NCLC learning curve is not as steep as learning to code.
• Low entry barrier that “citizen developers” are cracking it.
• Faster POCs.
• Faster Iterations over ideas.
• Faster TTM.
• NCLC’s SDLC is largely simplified with many tools support release versioning for
rollback to earlier versions.

18. How about the Job Market?
18
Don’t be a robot.
Learn and leverage NCLC tool/platform.
Automation will eat the jobs of “robotic humans”.
Ask yourself every single day,
“How are you better as a human in serving humanity?”
