Stacker AI is live!
Late last year, we announced Stacker AI. Today, it's ready for everyone. Stacker has already helped tens of thousands of businesses build portals that people love to use. And now we've made building them as easy as having a conversation. Tell Stacker who your portal is for, and what they need to do. It asks you questions, you steer it, and it builds the portal. You don't need to get your head around a new platform UI or write a line of code. It feels less like using a tool and more like briefing someone who really knows what they're doing.

It’s time to drop 'No-Code'
I’d like to drop the the term no-code. I love the movement, but hate the term.I hate it because it’s always comes hand in hand with its even more ungainly sibling “low code”. Sometimes they’re used interchangeably. And sometimes, they get smushed together as “no/low code”.
