FC components and AI (ideas?)

[MJU20]

I’m really glad to see this topic. I’ve been working with software and AI for a while now, and for Flowcode (FC), the possibilities are truly limitless if applied correctly.

An article recently appeared in Elektor about creating libraries with AI simply by uploading a component's datasheet. In no time at all, the author had a fully functional library for that component.

I have already completed several projects using Arduino (ESP32), MIT App Inventor, and Gemini (AI). The latest—and most challenging—was a project I’ve wanted to build for years. It took me exactly 4 hours and 35 minutes to create a fully working ESP32 program combined with an Android app in App Inventor. I now have a functional project using BluetoothLE that has been running very stably.

The big question we ask ourselves every day is: how will this evolve? I don’t have the answer, but as long as I can use AI to generate projects that do exactly what I want, I’m all for continuing down this path.

I previously suggested to Matrix that they should focus more on component creation, but they indicated they saw their product range more broadly. Perhaps we will see more AI-generated user components now? I hope FC doesn't become obsolete...

Let’s look at the future positively. I’m also very excited about the ESPNow component, which I plan to test very soon.
