Q: I currently use bolt and lovable, will you be adding in similar abilities in the future?
I currently use bolt and lovable, will you be adding in similar abilities in the future? I prefer the ability to talk to the AI and let it go to town, but at the same time I also want access to the code for when it gets stuck.
Is there any chance NoCodeX will go down a similar path as the above mentioned new software? I see these(bolt.new, Lovable, esc) as being the new version of no/little code software creation so obviously if thats what you all are shooting for then I would love to support another option on the market.
Maybe I am wrong, but that seems to be the future of App development.

Mar 1, 2025A: Thank you JakeVan for your thoughtful question! Let me break this down and explain how NoCode-X aligns with the future of app development and where we’re heading in comparison to tools like Bolt and Lovable.
CURRENT AI CAPABILITIES
Yes, we already have some agentic AI support in NoCode-X. For example, we can assist in building applications from test data, generating simple forms, and soon, enabling prompt-to-action workflows. You’ll also be able to feed HTML and CSS into the tool, which will then generate a functional web app for you.
We are strong believers in secure and robust systems, and our approach focuses on empowering creators with pinpoint AI-assisted features. These are what we call "micro agentic AI"—small, focused AI tools that assist with specific tasks like screen building, setting up rights and groups, defining data formats, and creating APIs.
FUTURE AI ROADMAP
LINK: https://docs.nocode-x.com/Roadmap/
We are actively working on a text-to-application concept that takes a top-down approach. This means the AI will guide you through the development process step by step, starting with an architectural and analysis roadmap. This roadmap will give you a clear overview of what to build, and then the AI will assist with the heavy lifting while keeping you in control.
Our goal is to combine these micro agentic AI tools with an overall application-building process that includes stepped validation. This ensures that the creator remains in control while the AI handles repetitive or complex tasks. After researching and testing tools like Lovable, we’ve identified this as the sweet spot: creator control with AI-empowered assistance in a secure and robust environment.
WHY WE DIFFER FROM FULLY AI-DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT
Unlike tools that let AI drive the entire development process, we believe in positioning the creator as the team coach. The AI acts as an assistant, helping you achieve your business objectives while ensuring the final product is secure and safe for your customers.
We’ve also observed challenges with fully AI-driven tools, such as the rising costs of AI (e.g., ChatGPT-4 token costs increasing from $2.50/1M tokens to $75/1M tokens) and issues with accuracy and execution. These challenges can lead to frustration and inefficiency, as seen in some communities using tools like Lovable. Our approach is designed to avoid these pitfalls by focusing on fine-tuned models and creator control rather than relying solely on large, general-purpose LLMs going to town as they think is best...
COMMUNITY FEEDBACK AND EVOLUTION
We are always open to feedback and eager to hear your impressions of our approach. Be critical and fair—we value your input and want to work together to move forward in the best way possible.
What is your experience with the AI-token burn in Loveable and others? Their business models are put under severe stress due to the operational cost...
