Abstract: 
The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and automation into low-code development platforms is revolutionizing the way organizations build and deploy applications. This article explores the opportunities and challenges of leveraging AI and automation to enhance operational efficiency, streamline workflows, and create intelligent, data-driven solutions. Low-code platforms are increasingly embedding AI-powered features such as workflow automation, predictive analytics, and user-centered personalization, enabling businesses to innovate rapidly while minimizing technical complexity. Through real-world examples and actionable strategies, we demonstrate how organizations can adopt these technologies to foster a culture of experimentation, improve scalability, and address unique business challenges. Despite challenges such as skill gaps, integration with legacy systems, and ensuring user adoption, proactive measures like pilot projects, innovation labs, and strategic planning can mitigate risks and maximize impact. By embracing AI and automation within low-code frameworks, businesses can achieve greater agility, competitiveness, and adaptability in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
