Presented by Codehesion Partner 11 Sep 2026 Presented by Codehesion Forget low-code – This is how South African companies are using AI for software development Partner  ·11 Sep 2026 The ability to take an AI-augmented approach to software development has rendered low-code software development virtually obsolete. Historically, the value of low-code was that it was a quick and easy way for companies to build apps and software without needing to hire a large development team. Contact Codehesion to learn more. However, the rise of AI, and its ability to enhance the work of software development companies, has made the case for low-code almost non-existent. Take the example of Codehesion – South Africa’s top software development company according to the 2026 MyBroadband Awards. By strategically adding AI to its development process, it has shrunk the time-to-market of its projects while also lowering their cost. As a result, it is now almost always cheaper for Codehesion to develop your next software solution than to pay for costly monthly low-code subscriptions. Furthermore, your project will be completed on a shorter timeline, and because you are dealing with a world-class software development company, you are assured a superior final product. All software is fully owned by your business upon its completion – although Codehesion is happy to help you maintain that software over time. As a result, there is no metric where low-code makes sense over embracing a custom software development project executed by Codehesion. Work with Codehesion The combination of AI’s productivity benefits, and Codehesion’s world-class team, means there is only one logical choice for your next software development project.
