Hostinger has just announced the launch ofHostinger Horizons, a new AI (Artificial Intelligence) based tool that allowscreation, 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 manner.
This means that Hostinger Horizons simulates the experience of talking to someone skilled in software development, able to offer possible solutions and make 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 resources necessary to deploy an application.Hosting, domain and emailare already incorporated, which reduces steps and speeds up the launch.
In initial testing, simple web applications – such as acalorie counter, oneeducational gameand atime management tool– were developed and published in just 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 forentrepreneurs, startups and small businesseswho need to validate ideas quickly.
"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 my idea to investors? ", explains Rafael Hertel, Hostinger's Country Manager 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 ofdemocratization of web application creation, allowing anyone to put their unique and exciting ideas online,” he adds.
Creating web applications without programming
Companies likeDuolingo, NotionandAirbnbThey emerged 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 the validation of ideas in the market.
“Building a web application like this from scratch takes weeks or months, and hiring a developer can cost thousands of dollars. On larger projects, both the time and costs grow exponentially,” explains Hertel.
According to Hostinger's Country Manager in Brazil,Hostinger Horizons enables entrepreneurs and startups to build functional online tools and test ideas faster"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 allow small businesses, startups and entrepreneurscreate and test digital solutions without the need for programming.
In this sense, the possibility of developing a prototype – called MVP – or internal tools without technical intermediation can represent a competitive advantage, which makes the entire process more agile and economical.
How Hostinger Horizons Works
Overall, Hostinger Horizons uses artificial intelligence to interpret natural language commands and transform descriptions into functional applications and offers features such as:
- AI Chat Interface:the tool operates through a simple chat, in which artificial intelligence creates, adds and edits the app's elements as you describe, displaying a real-time preview alongside the conversation;
- Multilingual and Voice Support:the system understands commands in more than 80 languages (including Portuguese) and accepts voice input for greater convenience;
- Image input:You can submit sketches or screenshots as design or functionality reference, which the AI uses to fine-tune the app;
- Integrated publication:when the application is ready, it can be published on a custom domain with a few clicks, which can be accessed instantly;
- Continuous updates:Refinements or new features can be added at any time – just ask in the chat – and Hostinger Horizons will immediately re-implement the changes, keeping the app up to date.
With the growth of the startup ecosystem in Brazil, tools like this candrive the creation of digital solutionsmore quickly and 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 projects.
