No-code on the ears

In this episode, we had the pleasure of talking to Frank Böhmer for the second time. Frank is the founder and CEO of Ninox - a Berlin-based low-code platform.

Ninox was one of the first players in the low-code world early on and has helped shape it ever since. In this episode, Frank talks about who Ninox can solve which problems for and where they see themselves in today's low-code space. It's about make or buy decisions and the role of AI at Ninox.

This episode's guest was Eike Paulat, Director Product at Usercentrics.

We talk about consent management, trackers, cookies and, of course, privacy. Eike tells us how they approach product development at Usercentrics and what it means to build "privacy first" products.

In this episode, our co-founder Alex gives us an introduction to AI coding - what it is, what types there are and which use cases it is suitable for.

We talk about Lovable and other AI coding tools and what you should look out for before implementing a project with AI coding. Because there can quickly be security and legal risks here.

In this episode, Adriano talks to Max Engler, co-founder of Dubly AI. This still young start-up from Hesse has built an AI synchronization tool that can easily compete with the million-dollar competition from all over the world.

The special thing about it is that Dubly's tech stack consists entirely of low- and no-code. So what makes them special? Max reveals this and much more in our interview.

In this episode I had the pleasure to speak with Alex Noel, Developer Relations Engineer at Plasmic - a visual development platform. Alex' background as a full-stack developer made me wonder: why and how did he start to work for a visual development tool?

We talked about AI and its place in the No-Code space, as well as the usefulness of the term "no-code" itself. Alex also shared his opinion about the importance of open source projects and his top 10 criteria for a good no-code tool.

In this episode, I had the pleasure of talking to Max Mika, the founder of Remote Verlag. Some time ago, Remote Verlag decided to take their management software into their own hands and we were able to help with our Product Studio. With "Remote Sales", we were able to build a modern solution for the administration of his publishing house that also makes life easier for authors.

In this episode, Max tells us how he decided to become a remote publisher, why he relies on no-code and what his entrepreneurial learnings are from this experience.

Lilith and Alex were finally on the podcast together again! This time it was about the rebranding of VisualMakers - and the question of what role visual development and AI will play in 2025.

In this episode, they discuss what has changed in the new look and feel of VisualMakers, why AI and no-code are indispensable for modern companies and how to integrate them into your own tech stack in a meaningful way.

Jan Siebert was on our podcast for the third time. This time it was also about HalloPodcaster. To be precise, it was about the second relaunch of his podcast platform.

He explained to me what HalloPodcaster is and why Jan decided to change his tool stack for the second time.

In this episode, I spoke to four members of our no-code Slack community. They talked about the upcoming year and what they would like to see from the no-code world this year.

They also talked a lot about the synergies of no-code AI and whether AI makes no-code obsolete.

Benni Amann is Global Digital Project Leader at ICF Movement - an interdenominational church with 80 locations in 13 countries worldwide.

ICF approached us in early 2024 with a challenge - they needed a centralized content hub for all 80 locations in 13 countries. There were some individual features they needed - existing SaaS couldn't really solve that. Could this be done with no-code tools?

In this episode you will find out, among other things, why ICF opted for a custom no-code solution instead of a SaaS solution and when it makes sense to build your own solution.

In this episode, I talk to Matthias Kunz, Head of Automation and AI at wemakefuture, about modern automation solutions and their own tool "0CodeKit".

We talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Make, Zapier, n8n and Microsoft Power Automate as well as use cases from Matthias' everyday life.

He also explains what 0CodeKit is and why it can make the everyday life of developers so much easier.

With "Xano Actions", Xano is finally introducing reusable workflow modules that make it much easier to create complex processes. The new "Xano Generator" brings AI power to database creation by automatically generating structure suggestions for your projects - a real game changer, in our opinion. And finally, Xano also has official certifications!

With Softr, Notion can now finally be used as a back-end, and a REST API integration allows comprehensive links with external tools such as Salesforce or Shopify. The biggest announcement? Softr is planning to expand into a full-stack platform - including its own workflows and database solution.

There's also news about Make's Human-in-the-loop & Runway modules.

Michael Mollath is Managing Director of IDS Online, a corporate start-up of IDS - the world's leading trade fair for the dental industry. But what does the dental industry have to do with Bubble, Make and Co.

Michael answers this question for us. He discovered his passion for no-code not so long ago. But he would never have imagined the impact this new enthusiasm would have in such a short space of time. Today, Michael is firmly convinced that any company in any industry can use no-code to drive innovation, if only they let it.

The No-Code Summit in Paris, the largest no-code event for Europe and the USA, was once again a key event for the growing no-code community this year. Our founders Alex and Lilith were there and report on their experiences, exciting discussions and the feature announcements of the various no-code platforms in episode #117 of the VisualMakers podcast.

Market research is expensive and time-consuming - and not every company can afford it. Even if the budget is available, surveys or user tests can take forever. This is exactly where Experial comes in. The platform offers a smart, AI-supported solution for consumer research and provides real-time insights through so-called "digital twins". 

In this episode, Experial co-founder Nader tells us how they came up with this idea. Our developer Tim also gives us an insight into how we built the platform with no-code tools.

In this episode, we summarize the four big topics of Bubble Con 2024: Native mobile apps, security updates, a new workflow editor and exciting AI updates. We also take a look at developments at Bubble competitor WeWeb and the new Rows AI Analyst 3.0.

This episode is all about Airtable's new AI Cobuilder and what this feature means for the competition. We also take a look at Softr's new back-end capabilities - Supabase and Monday.com.

This is the first episode about ThyroPal - the winning project of the No-Code for Impact grant.

With ThyroPal, Stefanie wants to solve a widespread problem that makes life difficult for millions of people in Germany - dealing with thyroid disease. Yet, she says, the solution is so obvious.

In this episode, we learn about the challenges of dealing with thyroid disease and why she believes ThyroPal can be the right solution.

CFOxt is - as they say themselves - the smart solution for every back office. It promises to do away with old Excel sheets and error-prone paperwork for approval processes. They have been doing this for many years. But now they needed a new solution - something new.

In this episode, CFOxt founders Andreas Kranzusch and Till Hahndorf tell us why they had their custom code solution rebuilt by VisualMakers - especially despite not taking No-Code seriously at first.

Our co-founder Alex is also there. He tells us how he approached the new app and what the biggest challenges were.

How much can you get out of no-code if you use more data? Or does data benefit even more from the fact that it can be leveraged with no-code?

Until recently, Till was CTO and Managing Director at taod Consulting - a management consultancy with a focus on data. He is now part of our team at VisualMakers and is responsible for our agency projects as Head of Operations.

In this episode, he tells us why he decided to join us, what fascinates him about data and no-code and where he sees the synergies of these topics in the future.
