Agentic Development Is Eating Low-Code

Introduction

Every couple of years I end up in the same conversation. A team needs an internal tool: a form, an approval flow, a few integrations. Someone proposes a low-code platform, because writing it “properly” means a repo, a build, a pipeline, and a sprint. The platform wins on time-to-first-demo, and it deserves to.

Then the tool succeeds. A year later it has forty screens, a branching approval rule nobody can read, and a change request that takes two days of clicking because there is no way to find every place a field is referenced.
