• No code, not low code
  Knack eliminates the need for code entirely. You don’t need developers or designers to ship features, automate workflows, or make changes. AI-generated apps in Knack are built with clicks, not developer commits.
• Instantly usable UI and backend
  With Knack, the front-end, back-end, and logic are fully functional and ready to go, without writing or deploying any code. Other tools often leave you with files or code that still need to be manually wired together and maintained.
• Pre-built, production-ready components
  Knack includes a vast library of pre-built application components, forms, dashboards, logins, permissions, workflows, payments, and more, already tested, secure, and scalable.
• Ongoing customization without devs
  Need to change a workflow or add a user role? Anyone on your team can do it. With AI code tools, changes typically require going back to the dev team or re-generating code.
• Enterprise security and compliance
  Knack is designed to meet real-world business needs, SOC2, HIPAA, GDPR, role-based access, and audit trails are all available out-of-the-box. Most AI code tools are not ready for regulated industries.
• Embedded business logic and data automation
  Knack enables dynamic workflows, record rules, scheduled tasks, approvals, notifications, and more, all without touching code. Most code generators can’t handle this without writing logic from scratch.
