Jul 8, 2019 - OutSystems Launches New Artificial Intelligence Capabilities to Accelerate Smart App Development in APAC
In the coming years, Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are seen to significantly revolutionise aspects of the software development process – moving beyond testing and code optimisation to architecture, user experience and prescriptive development. However, in spite of its potential, AI/ML specialists are still ranked as the most difficult role to hire in the region, according to the 2019 State of Application Development Report.
Addressing the talent gap as AI becomes more intertwined with customer experience, OutSystems today announced that it has added new artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities to its leading low-code development platform, giving organisations in Asia Pacific the power to harness automation to create self-service portals and improve customer service, among other capabilities—without the need for data science or specialised in-house skills.
