As we push further into 2024, one thing is clear: artificial intelligence is no longer reserved for elite developers or massive enterprise teams. The tools to build with AI are finally becoming accessible to creators, founders, and anyone with an internet connection at every level.

What once required a team of engineers, months of dev time, and deep AI expertise can now be built with a simple visual interface. Aera plans to lead this shift, bridging the gap between powerful AI models and real, usable tools anyone can deploy.

Key Shifts We're Seeing

The biggest evolution isn't in the models - it's in how people use them. Aera makes AI creation intuitive and personal.

• No-code AI creation
  Drag-and-drop builders let anyone create AI-powered tools, without touching code.

• Document-aware assistants
  With Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), your AI can reference your own files - PDFs, websites, or notes - to give grounded, context-rich answers.

• Real-world integrations
  Aera connects with tools like Slack, Notion, Google Drive, and even on-chain data feeds for fully automated workflows.

• Custom AI logic
  Beyond chat, Aera supports agents, workflows, and multi-step logic for tasks that do more than just talk back.

“By 2025, 70% of new applications developed by enterprises will use low-code or no-code technologies.”
— Gartner, 2021

The democratization of AI development is already changing how innovation happens. Whether you're a solo founder building a tool for your community, a student making a research assistant, or a creative building an AI-powered content generator - Aera lets you build it your way.

It’s not just about using AI—it’s about owning the way it works for you.

Aera is moving toward even more intuitive AI creation - soon you'll be able to build workflows using natural language alone. We're expanding open-source support for full control, privacy, and leaning into on-chain tooling to enable decentralized, token-powered AI agents. The future of AI is open, accessible, and built by you.
