Hostinger has just announced the launch of Hostinger Horizons, a new AI (Artificial Intelligence)-based tool that allows the creation, editing, and publishing of web applications without the need for programming knowledge.
The solution works through a conversational assistant that understands simple commands and generates complete applications in an automated way.
This means that Hostinger Horizons simulates the experience of talking to a qualified software developer, capable of offering possible solutions and making adjustments and variations instantly.
The proposal, in this case, is to simplify a process that traditionally requires months of development, specialized technical knowledge, and a high investment.
Unlike other platforms that require external services for hosting and domain, Hostinger Horizons offers an integrated solution, which brings together in a single environment the necessary resources to get an application live. Hosting, domain, and email are already incorporated, reducing steps and speeding up the launch.
In initial tests, simple web applications – such as a calorie counter, an educational game, and a time management tool – were developed and published in a few minutes, without the need for programming.
In this context, the possibility of creating web applications without technical barriers can facilitate the development of projects for entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses that need to quickly validate ideas.
“Every entrepreneur who has ever wanted to create their own web application at some point has faced the following question: how to create if I don’t know how to program? How to take the first step to show investors my idea?”, explains Rafael Hertel, Country Manager of Hostinger in Brazil.
“Web applications have already turned ideas into multimillion-dollar startups, but creating them has always required knowing how to program or hiring a developer. Now, with Hostinger Horizons, we have reached the moment of democratization of web application creation, allowing anyone to put their unique and exciting ideas online”, he adds.
Creating web applications without programming
Companies like Duolingo, Notion, and Airbnb started as simple web applications before becoming major global brands.
Therefore, the possibility of developing this type of solution in an accessible way can facilitate the emergence of new businesses and accelerate idea validation in the market.
“Creating a web application of this kind from scratch takes weeks or months, and hiring a developer can cost thousands of reais. In larger projects, both time and costs grow exponentially”, explains Hertel.
According to Hostinger’s Country Manager in Brazil, Hostinger Horizons allows entrepreneurs and startups to build functional online tools and test ideas more quickly. “It’s like working with a developer or agency, only much faster and at a fraction of the cost”, he points out.
In practice, therefore, the tool’s proposal is to allow small businesses, startups, and entrepreneurs to create and test digital solutions without the need for programming.
In this sense, the possibility of developing a prototype – called an MVP – or internal tools without technical mediation can represent a competitive advantage, making the whole process more agile and economical.
How Hostinger Horizons works
In general, Hostinger Horizons uses artificial intelligence to interpret commands in natural language and turn descriptions into functional applications, offering features such as:
- AI chat interface: the tool operates through a simple chat, where artificial intelligence creates, adds, and edits app elements as you describe, displaying a real-time preview alongside the conversation;
- Multi-language and voice support: the system understands commands in over 80 languages (including Portuguese) and accepts voice inputs for greater convenience;
- Image input: it is possible to submit sketches or screenshots as design or functionality references, which the AI uses to adjust the application;
- Integrated Publication: when the application is ready, it can be published on a custom domain with just a few clicks, instantly accessible;
- Continuous Updates: refinements or new features can be added at any time – just ask in the chat – and Hostinger Horizons implements the changes instantly, keeping the app always up to date.
With the growth of the startup ecosystem in Brazil, tools like this can drive the creation of digital solutions faster and more economically.
In addition to benefiting entrepreneurs and small businesses, Hostinger’s new technology presents itself as an alternative for digital agencies and developers who can speed up their processes without compromising the customization and functionality of the projects.
