Squarespace, Wix etc have already taken the bottom of the market, and if they hadn’t, Indian outsourcing would have anyway. This is the logical progression of those same concepts. If I were a product manager at a website builder, I’d be all over integrating ai builders like this. It will never work for barely defined complex business tasks, but it might do fine to create a cost estimator for a photography business, for example.

I see this as a useful tool for creating interactive demos and prototypes which allow to quickly iterate over ideas. Could keep the feedback loop with clients short and allow to minimise miscommunication. I could see for example Figma implementing this.

Why do you think it can only work for trivial tasks? That's just denial. Business process workflow software is quite popular. There are many applications where people do something similar with drag and drop/interactive widget editors and they can have complex forms, parent-child, state transitions, etc. Using something like GPT Vision means you can skip the widget drag and drop and use more freeform drawing tools or freehand sketching. Notion is probably the most popular example today but there are more complex ones going back forever.

  Because so far it has only worked on trivial tasks? That isn't denial: it's stating fact. Business process workflow software is popular, but have massive downsides. These softwares consume massive amount of resources. One dev becomes one dev plus a business person plus another person plus overhead. > Using something like GPT Vision means you can skip the widget drag and drop and use more freeform drawing tools or freehand sketching. To do... what? Where does the UI go? Where does the data go? Where is it stored? How is it accessed? How is security? How are backups? Version control? Etc..
