Hostinger has announced the launch of Hostinger Horizons, a new tool based on AI (Artificial Intelligence) that allows the creation, editing and publishing of web applications without the need for programming knowledge.
The solution works through a conversational assistant that comprises simple commands and generates complete applications in an automated way.
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, the Hostinger Horizons offers an integrated solution, which brings together in a single environment the resources needed to put an application on the air. Hosting, domain and email they are already incorporated, which reduces steps and speeds up the launch.
In initial tests, simple web applications ¡ ̄ AS one calorie counter, one 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 the development of projects for entrepreneurs, startups and small businesses they need to validate ideas quickly.
“Every entrepreneur who has ever wanted to create his own web application at some point has faced the following question: how to create if I do not 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 hire a developer. Now, with Hostinger Horizons, we have reached the moment of democratizing the creation of web applications, allowing anyone to put their unique and exciting ideas online”, he adds.
Creating web applications without programming
Companies such as Duoling, Notion and Airbnb they emerged as simple web apps before they became 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 such a web application from scratch takes weeks or months, and hiring a developer can cost thousands of dollars.In larger projects, both time and costs grow exponentially”, explains Hertel.
According to Hostinger Country Manager in Brazil hostinger Horizons enables entrepreneurs and startups to build functional online tools and test ideas faster“It is 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 purpose of the tool is to allow small businesses, startups and entrepreneurs create and test digital solutions without the need for programming.
In this sense, the possibility of developing a prototype – called MVP IO or internal tools without technical intermediation can represent a competitive differential, which makes the whole process more agile and economical.
How Hostinger Horizons works
Overall, Hostinger Horizons uses artificial intelligence to interpret commands in natural language and turn descriptions into functional applications, and offers features such as:
- Chat interface with AI: the tool operates through a simple chat, in which artificial intelligence creates, adds and edits the app elements as you describe, displaying a real-time preview next to the conversation;
- Multilingual support and voice: the system understands commands in more than 80 languages (including Portuguese) and accepts voice input for convenience;
- Image input: you can send sketches or screenshots as a design or functionality reference, which AI uses to fine-tune the application;
- Integrated publishing: when the app is ready, it can be published to a custom domain with a few clicks, which can be accessed instantly;
- Continuous updates: refinements or new functions can be added at any time, just ask in the chat & Hostinger Horizons reimplements the changes on time, keeping the app always up to date.
With the growth of the startup ecosystem in Brazil, tools like this can driving the creation of digital solutions faster and more cost-effectively.
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 the customization and functionality of projects.
