At the moment, it seems like the world is spinning faster than ever. At VisualMakers, we can't see into the future, but we do have some insights that may help you to simply bring more security and control to your day-to-day business.
How relevant will these technologies still be in 2025? What opportunities do they offer? And how can companies get started? In this article, we summarize the most important findings.
AI, no-code and visual development - you should bet on this horse
We are experiencing economic uncertainty, rising costs and ever-increasing competitive pressure. Companies need to find ways to work more efficiently, automate processes and remain flexible. This is where AI and no-code come into play.
The biggest pain points in companies:
- Manual processes: Employees spend hours on copy-paste tasks and unstructured data.
- Technology chaos: Companies use numerous isolated solutions that are often not networked with each other.
- Inefficient communication: data is lost, processes are unclear.
The solution: Automation & Visual Development
Many of these challenges can be solved with no-code and AI-supported processes. The first step often begins with the standardization of processes, because only things that have a clear sequence can be automated. Technologies such as Make.com or n8n make it possible to link business processes easily and flexibly.
🚀 In concrete terms, this means that companies that focus on automation early on have a clear advantage over the competition.
AI - when and where should it be used?
AI is particularly valuable where decisions have to be made. Examples of successful AI implementation:
- Automated customer scoring: Lead scoring with AI to target potential customers.
- Sentiment analysis: Recognize whether customer inquiries are positive or negative.
- Generative AI: Automated creation of blog posts or social media content.
💡 Tip: The use of AI in combination with visual development can help companies to work smarter and more agile - without having to dive deep into programming.
