The very concept of artificial intelligence (AI) is for machines to be able to think like humans. That means that AI technology can tackle all the mundane tasks you face daily. App development powered by AI is one such remarkable application of AI, making its presence felt in the industry.

This article will explore how AI is revolutionizing mobile app development in 2024.
 

Speech Recognition

Mobile apps can now be integrated with voice assistants. Millions of households use voice assistants like Alexa, Siri, or Google Assistant to do daily tasks like shopping, booking a cab, ordering groceries, and booking a restaurant table. The AI-powered speech recognition searches people's needs, opens apps, adds things to carts finalizes payments, and so much more. Customers will never have to type a word to get things done.
 

Real-Time And Immediate Alerts

Usually, mobile apps send signals based on timers. However, AI has been a massive game-changer in this arena lately. AI does not send fixed-timed alerts but sets alerts based on how the customer interacts with the app.

Suppose your customer has saved an item on their wish list. When the seller reduces the item's price, the AI can notify your customer that their favorite item's price has been dropped. This gives you an immense edge to get a sale you would otherwise miss out on.
 

Custom Notification

AI doesn't stop with real-time alerts. Personalized notes can be created to perform many actions in apps. Is a product out of stock? Let your customers decide if they want to get a notification when it comes back in stock so they can immediately grab it while it is available.
 

Natural Language Processing, NLP

Every good app comes with a chatbot nowadays because nothing is better than ensuring that your customers can get immediate service when needed. If you are building an app, make sure you consider adding chatbots.

Chatbots help your customers connect to you, and they can analyze complex human languages into a searchable query and provide results. For example, if your customers want to cancel an order, why involve a human executive who is both time-consuming and costly? A chatbot can recognize the order id selected by your customer, the cancellation query, and get the task done in seconds, saving you valuable processing time and manpower. Plus, they are happy to get quick service, ensuring they return for more.
 

Self-Reading

The AI can analyze your customer's preferences and customize their information and product feed. This crucial information helps capitalize on users' shopping patterns and improves business operations and the bottom line.
 

Easy Search

Nothing is more frustrating than searching for something on an app but not getting any results because of a tiny spelling mistake.

Search should be quick and consider common spelling errors, or your customers can get quickly discouraged. AI helps the app recognize products even when they have been mistyped. It provides users with auto-filled options in a dropdown that they can select from without typing the whole query. This is the primary business functionality that a user will use most of the time.

AI also gives your users a voice processing choice, so they can ask for "soap" instead of typing it out. In short, AI elevates customer comfort and satisfaction to a whole new level by improving the app's search functionality.
 

Face Recognition And Authentication

Do you have a business where the app would contain your clients' medical documents or financial details? AI allows you to improve app security by giving you face recognition when opening the app.

This way, only the person whose confidential data is saved in the app can open and use it. HIPAA records are highly private, and medical apps can leverage this type of functionality to ensure the security of the users. But other apps can leverage this, too.
 

Your Turn

These are a few of the areas that will be dramatically impacted by AI when it comes to app development. As you can see, AI will make the apps more advanced and contribute to their user-friendliness. The good news is that you can add all these features and more with the help of app builders, which makes building an app more accessible and convenient.
