GitHub made some big announcements for users at the GitHub Universe event. These revolve around AI and the fact that the technology is becoming independent on GitHub.
GitHub Spark uses AI to build web apps based on descriptions you write in natural language. This technology builds several previews of your desired app based on the information you provide. This gives users some choices and increases the likelihood that your app will match their requirements.
Customizable
GitHub primarily attracts an audience of developers with its tools. They have full ability to manipulate the code themselves, and GitHub doesn’t want to take that away from them. Therefore, you can modify the code to your liking.
At the same time, Spark does not want to exclude other profiles. After all, chat interfaces provide an opportunity for anyone to create web apps. Manipulation of the AI output can also be done based on natural language so that you don’t need to call in a developer at the end. This makes it important to improve your knowledge of AI prompts to quickly achieve the desired results.
By the way, you can also involve your colleagues in this phase. Employees have the same opportunity to adjust the web app. Once your app is fully tuned, you can roll out Spark. This is possible on a variety of devices such as desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
More GitHub users and more apps
Since Spark can address many technical issues, the user profile of this tool is very diverse. As a result, GitHub believes this tool will bring many new users to the platform. “Spark enables more than 1 billion PC and mobile phone users to build and share their own microapps directly on GitHub,” said GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke.
Similarly, developers should also be attracted to this tool. Because this tool provides an opportunity to develop personalized apps. These types of apps currently often go undeveloped due to time constraints or the final product doesn’t have enough users, so they don’t deserve priority. Spark significantly speeds up the process and increases the viability of such projects.
