New AI Tools for Making Software

Introduction

New AI tools help people make their own apps. Big companies are now fighting to sell these tools.

Main Body

Now, people who are not programmers can make apps. They use AI tools from companies like OpenAI and Anthropic. They just tell the AI what they want in simple English. More people are putting apps on the Apple App Store because of this. Big companies are also using AI. Anthropic works with PwC to help businesses. Microsoft is using its own tool called GitHub Copilot. OpenAI and Anthropic give their tools for free to get more business customers. AI is also helping in other areas. OpenAI put coding tools in the ChatGPT app. In law, companies use AI to read long legal papers. This helps them make more money.

Conclusion

Regular people can now make software. At the same time, big companies fight to be the leader in AI.
