Introducing Latenode

Latenode is a low-code platform for automating any business process. It combines the simplicity of no-code tools (drag-and-drop) and the ability to create complex architectures.

Choose integrations from the no-code library, use HTTP requests, connect NPM packages, add JavaScript modules, or ask the in-built AI assistant for custom code. All these possibilities allow everyone to tap into the full-code potential, even without technical hard skills.

Latenode’s Team

The founding team of Latenode has launched two successful multi-million-dollar businesses in the past. That’s precisely where the journey of building and automating businesses in a low-code environment began for them.

Over these years, Latenode’s team of developers, led by its CTO – Oleg Zankov, has experimented with a wide variety of tools. From self-hosted open-source solutions like Huginn to platforms like Zapier, Make, and n8n, the team couldn’t find the perfect solution for their businesses, prompting them to consider developing their own tool.

Although Latenode is still a startup, its team comprises 16 professionals.

–  New applications are constantly being added to the no-code library (simplicity)
–  The variety of functions and operators continues to grow (flexibility)
–  Coding capabilities with Code AI Copilot are continuously expanding. This assistant understands users’ scenarios and provides precise code suggestions for automations on demand (innovation)

Vision & Mission

As AI and other technologies evolve, people are shifting their focus from boring routine tasks to more creative and fulfilling endeavors. Low-code tools are one of the ways Latenode can accelerate this transition. And that’s exactly what modern businesses want!

According to Forrester research, the low-code solutions market is experiencing a 28.6% annual growth rate, with a total valuation of around $25 billion. They expect this growth trend to continue and forecast the low-code market to reach $68 billion by 2026.

True enthusiasts of automation, the Latenode team aspires to make a significant contribution to this process and present the tool everyone (including themselves :p) needs.

The founding story 🙂 Perfect time for Latenode!

In the past, the Latenode team used Integromat (Make’s parent) as a main low-code solution for automating their previous businesses. While it was satisfactory, they built 150+ scenarios. However, in Feb 2022, the Integromat team announced Make – a new product with a different architecture, 3X prices, and assurances of a seamless transition to Make, which failed to materialize even after a year.

Somewhat later, Integromat announced that the platform would be fully deactivated in September 2023. Unhappy with the new terms, the Latenode team decided to develop their own tool. That’s where their 9+ years of automation experience came into play, allowing them to derive maximum value from it. It’s September 2023 now, and during this month, the Latenode team plans to fully transition from Integromat to their solution – the Latenode platform.

Subsequently, it will be launched to the public.

For now, Latenode remains in Beta, offering free access to early adopters.

Latenode vs Make (post-Integromat)

The differences lie in the details. The Latenode team has spent considerable time learning about the limitations of Integromat & Make firsthand. When they launched Latenode, the primary goal was to bring some vital features to life and make the automation process as efficient as possible.

It’s not just they who view these features as essential; the Make community feels the same, leaving thousands of upvotes for feature requests:

Free access to everyone!

Imagine building an SEO micro-service to check how search engine robots perceive a website and categorize its content using Google NLP. This means SEO specialists won’t need several months to determine if written articles align with a company’s niche and boost its rank:

Or consider a scenario where GPT-4 emails a client based on information provided through a website form moments ago:

This and much more is available absolutely free until the end of the year (then, prices will be much lower than Make’s, with fair charging for consumed CPU, not for activated modules in the scenario).

The lovely low-code Community

Currently, this community is taking its first steps. Proactive low-code enthusiasts are accepting invitations to the Discord server – feedback is eagerly awaited. This feedback will then be incorporated into the product, addressing any challenges that might be encountered. To emphasize: while in Beta, free access is being offered to all early adopters of the Latenode platform. Furthermore, the technical support promises swift responses directly from the platform developers. This provides a unique opportunity for anyone to build and create on Latenode in collaboration with the team.

See everyone on the Latenode platform & the Discord (join now!)
