Hostinger launches AI that enables creating web applications without programming

Hostinger has just announced the launch of Hostinger Horizons, a new AI (Artificial Intelligence) based tool that enables the creation, editing, and publishing of web applications without requiring programming knowledge..

The solution operates through a conversational assistant that understands simple commands and generates complete applications automatically.

This means that Hostinger Horizons simulates the experience of conversing with a qualified software development professional, capable of offering potential 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 launch an application. Hosting, domain, and email are already incorporated, which reduces steps and speeds up the launch.

In initial tests, simple web applications – such as a calorie counter, a educational game and one 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 project development for entrepreneurs, startups, and small businesses that need to validate ideas quickly.

“Every entrepreneur who has ever wanted to create their own web application has at some point faced the following question: how do I create it if I don't know how to program? How do I take the first step to show my idea to investors?“, explains Rafael Hertel, Country Manager of Hostinger in Brazil.

“Web applications have already turned ideas into multi-million 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 emerged as simple web applications before becoming major global brands. 

Given this, the possibility of developing this type of solution in an accessible way can facilitate the emergence of new businesses and accelerate the validation of ideas 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 the Country Manager of Hostinger 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 an agency, only much faster and at a fraction of the cost,” he points out. 

In practice, therefore, the tool's proposal is to enable 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 intermediation can represent a competitive differential, making the entire process more agile and economical.

How Hostinger Horizons Works

Overall, Hostinger Horizons uses artificial intelligence to interpret commands in natural language and transform descriptions into functional applications and offers features such as:

• AI Chat Interface: the tool operates through a simple chat, where the AI creates, adds, and edits app elements as you describe them, displaying a real-time preview alongside the conversation;
• Multilingual and Voice Support: the system understands commands in over 80 languages (including Portuguese) and accepts voice input for greater convenience;
• Image Input: it is possible to send sketches or screenshots as design or functionality references, which the AI uses to adjust the application;
• Integrated Publishing: when the application is ready, it can be published to a custom domain with a few clicks and accessed instantly;
• Continuous Updates: refinements or new functions can be added at any time – simply request them in the chat – and Hostinger Horizons reimplements the changes immediately, keeping the app always up to date.

With the growth of the startup ecosystem in Brazil, tools like this can boost the creation of digital solutions in a faster and more economical way. 

In addition to benefiting entrepreneurs and small businesses, Hostinger's new technology presents itself as an alternative for digital agencies and developers, who can accelerate their processes without compromising project customization and functionality.
