In its latest innovation leap, Zoho has unveiled a suite of advanced AI capabilities within Zoho Creator, its low-code platform, further cementing its leadership in democratising enterprise software development.
Announced today from its Australian base in Adelaide, the release from Zoho introduces CoCreator, a powerful new assistant designed to slash app development timelines and elevate productivity, all without increasing costs for existing users.
With over 100 million global users, Zoho continues to demonstrate the value of owning its full tech stack, allowing for deeply contextual AI that understands, predicts, and acts on business data in ways competitors can’t match.

A New Standard for Speed and Simplicity
CoCreator empowers users of all skill levels to create apps using natural prompts, whether spoken, written, or derived from existing documents like software requirements. With AI-driven suggestions tailored to specific domains, the platform translates ideas into functional apps in record time.
This includes support for:
- Voice and Text Prompt App Generation – Create fully-fledged applications from business specs or diagrams.
- Smart Component Suggestions – Zia now recommends contextual fields when building forms, something notably absent in most rival low-code tools.
- Automated Code Writing and Optimisation – Developers can auto-generate and refine code blocks using prompts tailored to app logic.
- Data Cleansing and Modelling – Turn messy, unstructured data into usable, structured formats within minutes.
What sets Zoho apart is that these AI features are integrated directly into the Creator platform, no third-party add-ons or hidden fees required.
AI with Context: Zoho’s Competitive Advantage
Unlike vendors who bolt AI onto existing systems, Zoho’s deep integration enables its AI, Zia, to truly understand the full context of user workflows. This allows it to suggest actions, write code, clean data, and automate processes with unparalleled relevance and precision.
In an era where AI is often used as a buzzword, Zoho’s approach stands out for its practicality and privacy-first design. None of its models are trained on customer data, and personal information is never retained, offering peace of mind alongside productivity.
Upcoming in June is a powerful new capability called AI Skills, enabling developers to embed natural language logic and smart process automation into apps. This feature is currently in Early Access but is expected to play a major role in how businesses streamline operations moving forward.
Custom AI Models for Niche Use Cases
In addition to built-in intelligence, Creator now supports the deployment of custom AI models trained on company-specific data. Whether it’s document scanning with OCR, forecasting trends, or object detection, these bespoke models bring tailored automation within reach for SMEs and enterprises alike.
Keeping Innovation Accessible
From the beginning, Zoho Creator’s mission has been clear: to make app development faster, easier, and more accessible. With these new AI enhancements, that vision is now supercharged; bringing enterprise-grade capability to users without enterprise-level costs.
“AI allows us to take it to another level, shortening the time from an idea to an app,” said Raju Vegesna, Zoho’s Chief Evangelist. “Today’s announcement raises the baseline on speed of quality app creation with deep capabilities, without adding costs.”
Final Thoughts: A Smarter Path to Business Agility
For businesses navigating digital transformation, Zoho Creator’s latest update offers a compelling path forward—blending intuitive design, intelligent automation, and ethical AI principles.
In a market where many AI solutions feel experimental or overpriced, Zoho's approach is refreshingly grounded: useful, secure, and built for impact.
As someone who closely follows enterprise software trends, I see Zoho’s move not just as a product upgrade, but as a powerful statement—AI should simplify, not complicate. And it should serve the business, not the other way around.
