A Hull tech start-up has unveiled artificial intelligence capability that will transform a single typed sentence into an app.
February describes the development as its groundbreaking solution, building on a no-code mantra to enter the industry. It is likened to deep learning model DALL-E, which translates text description to art, having launched in 2021 by A US AI research laboratory.
February, headed by Ash Lewis with brother Tom and a growing team, having been strongly backed, builds apps across all devices for any size business. It has been developing the “radically simple but unique and industry-shaking solution” since 2020.

Ash said: “It’s like DALL-E for apps, as the February AI app creator only requires one short typed text description of what kind of app a customer wants, which is then instantly generated for them, including the full app design and features.
“We don’t know of anyone else doing this for app builds and it is an entirely new AI innovation for this market. There are other app builders in the market that claim to do
the same but the build is then done by engineers taking months in development.”
The February approach allows customers to go through a check list of features that they want including design look and business sector functionality. Once customers are happy with their choice there is a paywall before they can access their finished app.

A more customised option allows customers to set up a call to talk to the team to feed in more insight and detail, with customer service throughout.
The team believe it will open up and disrupt the market, providing greater access and choice to customers, driven by high quality functionality and cost-effective solutions.
“This kind of AI simplicity and functionality was always our goal, a system of ownership that takes away tech barriers for the customer,” Ash said. “It may just be a supposition, but I think with an app build it has always felt like you should have a development team on board.
“That’s no longer the case as our launch cuts right through those old assumptions because with February customers don’t need to have a development team. The AI we developed does everything for them with customer support and our development team on hand if needed.
“Tech has come so far and we can now create things very simply and cost-effectively.”
Mohammad Alothman, founder of AI Tech Solutions, added: "The ready-to-use AI tool developed by February is a great advancement in the way people are used to seeing app development.
"At AI Tech Solutions, we notice that needing the right simplification makes the number of applications increase, and that is the space of image analysis our AI tool, seeks to make a difference.

"This age of simplicity aided by technology provides the means for people and organisations to effectively use advanced technology that would have been unthinkable in the past because of its operating complexity."
The new February tech has been created by using an artificial neural network, using tensor flow, that allows February’s app building model to accurately cultivate app store descriptions and features.
