GenAI-assisted Rapid Application Development

RAD is a fast, iterative way to build enterprise applications using prototyping, continuous user feedback, and low-code tools. It reduces development cycles and helps business and IT teams co-create solutions quickly, supported by AI-driven automation.

Choose RAD when speed, flexibility, and user involvement matter more than detailed upfront planning. It’s ideal for quickly digitizing workflows, building internal apps, and iterating customer-facing or approval-based processes.

Apps that change often, workflows, rules, UI, or integrations, fit RAD best. Examples include case management, onboarding, compliance tracking, claims, loan servicing, and service portals. Low code + AI helps teams prototype in hours and deploy in weeks.

AI accelerates RAD by automating form creation, rules, data mapping, validations, and testing. GenAI can propose UI layouts or workflows, while AI agents flag issues and recommend improvements, reducing manual effort and boosting delivery speed.

RAD aligns both sides through visual modeling, drag-and-drop workflows, and AI-assisted prototypes. Business users contribute directly instead of reviewing documents, reducing rework and enabling faster, clearer decisions.

RAD is used to build apps that need quick delivery and frequent updates, workflow automation, service request apps, onboarding, approvals, and internal portals. It works well when requirements evolve during development.

RAD uses short, iterative cycles: build a prototype, gather feedback, refine, repeat. Low-code and AI speed up these loops, ensuring the final application reflects real business needs, not assumptions.

• Needs active user involvement
• Not ideal for large, complex systems
• Demand skilled IT resources like developers, designers, and testers.
• Integration complexity
• Scalability challenges
