FEATUREDAI-Native Applications: The Dawn of Digital 4.0

As a new age in technology unfolds, companies are met with a critical question: How do we ensure that our software and systems don't just use AI but are fundamentally built on top of it? The answer lies in AI-native applications, marking the dawn of Digital 4.0.

Enterprise software has been historically characterized by fixed menus, relational databases, and static user interfaces. But as the world becomes more dynamic, so does the need for our digital tools to be more adaptable, intuitive, and intelligent.
