Zoho Corp., a global technology company, has launched new AI-powered features in its low-code platform, Zoho Creator. The update aims to make AI more accessible for businesses in the MENA region.
The newly introduced CoCreator is an AI assistant within Zoho Creator. It helps users build applications faster, more easily, and more intelligently. Powered by Zia, Zoho’s AI engine, CoCreator speeds up development without needing extra subscriptions or add-ons.
These updates reflect Zoho’s goal to provide real-time, practical, and secure AI tools for business users. The generative AI features allow both developers and non-technical users to turn ideas into production-ready apps.

“Despite limited IT talent in the region, our platform has enabled thousands of apps. AI now lets us go further—bringing ideas to life faster and with deep capabilities, at no added cost,” he said.
The update also offers new features for professional developers. These include prompt-based code generation and optimization tailored to app structure. This reduces manual work and maintains architectural integrity.
Another feature, AI-powered data cleansing, transforms unstructured inputs from various sources into clean, structured data formats. A soon-to-launch AI Skills feature will allow users to automate workflows using natural language commands.

Zoho Creator supports Arabic, helping regional users build apps easily. Its drag-and-drop tools, strong customization, and third-party integrations make app development fast and flexible.
With these additions, Zoho Creator strengthens its role in solving business challenges, improving efficiency, and enabling innovation for MENA enterprises.
