More than just AI in the browser

When people talk about AI these days, the focus is usually on chatbots, virtual assistants and intelligent search functions. Many software providers are integrating such features into their web applications, thereby creating new opportunities for users.

However, the real added value does not come from AI in the browser. It arises when AI helps to develop and customise business applications more quickly and to continuously adapt them to new requirements.

This is precisely where the flexmobility platform comes in.

With the new AI features of the flexmobility platform, AI is not limited to use within a single application. It supports the creation, extension and customisation of native business apps.

New screens, processes, data structures or functions can be implemented significantly faster. Requirements from business departments can be more easily translated into production-ready applications, and existing apps can be continuously developed further.

AI thus becomes a tool for innovation and not just an additional feature within an application.

Modern business processes have long since ceased to be confined to the workplace. Staff work in the field, in the warehouse, on the production floor, on building sites or directly at the customer’s premises.

Native business apps can make full and better use of the capabilities of modern devices:

• Camera
• Barcode and QR code scanners
• GPS and location information
• Push notifications
• NFC
• Bluetooth devices
• Device sensors

This results in tangible and practical applications that adapt perfectly to their specific environment and are capable of significantly more than pure browser-based applications, which always adapt native functions in a cumbersome and inefficient manner.

The reality in many organisations is quite different from that of an office with a stable Wi-Fi connection. Construction sites, warehouses, production environments and field service locations do not always have a reliable connection.

Native apps on the flexmobility platform can operate even under difficult network conditions. Information remains available, processes continue and data is synchronised as soon as a connection is re-established.

For users, this means fewer interruptions and greater process reliability in their day-to-day work.

When it comes to business-critical applications, it is not just new features that matter,
but also security, stability and performance.

The flexmobility platform was developed for professional corporate use. Processes, data and users are managed and controlled centrally. Companies retain full control over their applications and their further development at all times.

This aspect is becoming increasingly important, particularly when using AI.

Many companies are familiar with this challenge: additional tools are introduced to meet new requirements, which then have to be linked together via interfaces.

The flexmobility platform takes a different approach.
Applications are built directly on the platform and access the same data and process infrastructure. This results in end-to-end solutions without the complexity of additional integrations.

This reduces development and operational costs whilst providing a high degree of flexibility.

Requirements change. Business processes evolve. New technologies emerge.
Companies therefore need a platform that evolves alongside them.

By combining native business apps, integrated business logic and AI-supported development, companies lay the foundations for adapting applications to new requirements at any time – quickly, in a controlled manner and without having to introduce additional siloed solutions.

AI in the browser is a useful building block. However, the real added value lies in AI’s ability to help develop business applications more quickly, map processes more efficiently and deliver optimal user experiences on any device.

The flexmobility platform combines AI, native business apps, device integration, offline capability, security and a unified database to create a platform for the next generation of enterprise applications.

It is not AI alone that makes the difference. It is the platform that turns it into real business apps.
