Since November 2022, everything has been about AI, AI, and AI. Either we are becoming too lazy to do our jobs, we want to stay productive, or we hope AI will improve our results. Whatever the reason, we want AI in everything and everywhere.
Almost every company or product integrates AI into its services or tools to enhance our experience (not just to get funded by VCs). No-code tools have also introduced AI to streamline the app-building process for us.
With that said, AI can't build a complete app from scratch. Instead, AI helps us with various tasks, such as designing elements, creating content for SEO, writing text copies, writing custom code and even making our site responsive.
I tried some no-code builders and used them to build my side projects as well. I will share my insights on the 8 best no-code AI app builders in this article. We will explore two aspects:
No-code builders for creating AI-driven apps
No-code builders that integrate AI to assist the app-building process

Now, let’s take a detailed look at the AI features provided by each tool.
Bubble.io
Bubble.io is a leading no-code platform designed for building fully customizable web apps, including AI-driven applications. While Bubble has launched features to create app with AI from scratch, its strength lies in its integration capabilities with external AI models, such as OpenAI’s GPT-4 and Microsoft Azure AI.
One of Bubble’s standout features is its AI-assisted page design tool, which simplifies the design process. You can describe your desired layout or functionality in natural language, and the AI generates layouts and content based on those prompts, speeding up development and reducing manual effort.
Additionally, Bubble is launching a new AI app builder (currently in beta) that lets you input instructions and get a fully functional app in minutes. This tool automates design, backend, and workflows, creating polished apps using Bubble's visual programming system instead of traditional coding.
Bubble supports seamless integration with APIs for AI services, enabling advanced functionalities such as automated content creation or customer service bots. For instance, at Zeroqode, we offer 12 prebuilt AI app templates and AI plugins to extend the functionality of your AI app, such as chatbots, recommendation engines, real-time content generation, and advanced automation.
Pricing - Bubble offers a Free tier, with paid plans starting at $32/month, scaling up with usage.
Webflow is mainly a no-code platform for building visually rich websites, but it's also incorporating AI to improve its design and development features. While Webflow doesn’t have built-in AI for creating apps from scratch, it offers essential AI-powered tools to simplify the design process.
For example, Webflow's AI Assistants like Intellimize help with content generation, providing suggestions for copy, layouts, and SEO optimizations.
With the AI Insights Assistant, you can get real-time performance analytics, making data-driven improvements easier. Webflow’s AI-powered localization tool also allows sites to be translated using machine learning, expanding global reach.
You can also build AI-driven apps on Webflow by integrating with external APIs like OpenAI and Jasper. This enables you to create apps with features such as chatbots, content personalization, and automation.
At Zerqode, we built Mojju on Webflow. It offers custom-built GPTs tailored to specific business needs, such as market analysis, image upscaling, and personalized content generation.
Pricing - Webflow’s pricing starts with a Free tier, with paid plans from $18/month.
FlutterFlow is a versatile no-code platform that lets you build mobile apps using a visual drag-and-drop interface. While it's mainly designed for creating pixel-perfect UIs, it has recently added AI-powered features through FlutterFlow AI Gen.
This AI suite includes tools like AI Code Assistant, which uses models such as OpenAI's GPT to help generate code, schemas, and components from natural language descriptions. This makes it possible to build more complex AI-driven apps, even for non-experts.
FlutterFlow supports integrations with external AI services such as Google's Gemini and OpenAI, allowing you to add functionalities like real-time data processing, AI chatbots, and personalized content recommendations. Combined with its deep Firebase integration, FlutterFlow provides extensive tools for building scalable AI-enhanced apps.
For developers needing more control, FlutterFlow allows you to export clean code and deploy it directly to iOS and Android, making it a strong choice for mobile-first, AI-driven projects.
Pricing - FlutterFlow starts at $30/month for basic plans, with advanced features available in higher-tier options.
Framer
Framer is a design-first, no-code platform focused on creating visually rich, interactive websites. It's perfect for professionals who want to build stunning, highly interactive prototypes with minimal coding.
Framer’s recent AI features let you quickly generate website designs, copy, and layouts using simple text prompts. Its AI web page generator helps you create professional, responsive web pages based on these prompts. Unlike some other builders, Framer requires separate AI commands for each page, making the process more detailed but allowing for greater customization.
Additionally, it offers AI-powered localization and content management, making it easier to adapt websites for different regions or languages without extra development work.
Overall, the detail in your prompts will influence how Framer AI creates responsive designs, but manual customization is still needed to ensure uniqueness and alignment with your branding.
Platforms like Bubble or FlutterFlow are better for AI-driven apps, but Framer is an excellent choice for AI-assisted website design where aesthetics, animations, and interactions are important.
Pricing - Framer offers both a free plan and a paid plan, starting at $5 per site per month for custom domains. The Pro plan goes up to $15 per site for advanced features like CMS collections and visitor analytics.
Appy Pie
Appy Pie is a no-code platform that offers a variety of AI tools, making it ideal for quickly and easily creating basic apps and websites. With features like the AI App Generator and AI Website Builder, you can build simple sites and apps.
However, it is not well-suited for building AI-driven apps or sites. The only useful AI tool is their Chatbot Builder, which lets you create bots for customer engagement, such as appointment scheduling or inquiry handling, using a simple drag-and-drop interface.
Additionally, Appy Pie offers various AI tools to enhance your design, including AI Image Generators, AI Voice Generators, AI 3D Model Generators, and more.
Pricing - Appy Pie offers pricing starting from $11/month for the AI chatbot, with more advanced options available depending on the features and platform needs.
Softr is a highly user-friendly no-code platform focused on creating functional web apps without coding. Its standout feature is the AI App Generator, which builds apps from simple text prompts. This tool is capable of creating various types of applications, such as client portals, internal tools, or marketplaces, and can generate everything from themes to business logic and user roles automatically.
Softr also integrates seamlessly with data sources like Google Sheets and Airtable, making it ideal for building data-driven applications with minimal effort.

For example, you can use Glide AI to build apps that provide personalized recommendations, automate data categorization, or create intelligent dashboards.
Additionally, Glide supports API integrations, allowing you to connect with AI tools like OpenAI for tasks such as content generation or creating smart assistants. This makes Glide a flexible tool for anyone looking to build AI-powered applications without needing any coding skills.
Pricing - Glide offers a Free plan, with paid options starting at $60/month for the maker plan, and more advanced options for businesses available at $125/month.
Pico is a unique AI-powered no-code platform that allows users to create simple apps with just text prompts. It leverages GPT-4 to build tools such as chatbots, advice generators, and task planners. Pico’s focus is on rapid prototyping rather than complex, scalable apps, making it ideal for users who want to quickly experiment with AI-driven functionalities.
While Pico is excellent for prototyping, it has limitations in customization and responsiveness, making it less suited for full-scale business applications.
Pricing: Pico offers free app building with a traffic limit, and paid plans start at $29/month.
Wix Studio
Wix Studio is a new platform packed with AI tools for building websites and web apps. Key AI features include text content generation, image editing (upscaling, background removal, auto-enhancement), and responsive AI to make your designs adapt to different devices. There's also an AI SEO assistant that automatically generates meta descriptions and SEO-friendly titles.
