This round of Alibaba’s zero-code platform looks appealing, but even “Ludo” can’t get running, and the boundaries of AI-generated code still need more fine-tuning.

Alibaba Damo Academy launches the AI-native development platform "Yugou," enabling zero-code rapid development through a single sentence or voice command, directly generating digital products that can be imported with external resources. The platform includes an application marketplace, resource library, and multi-scenario applications, covering education, office, finance, and gaming, supporting one-click experience and secondary customization. The resource library connects to interfaces such as large model dialogue, text-to-image, map POI, and real-time exchange rates, and can also access custom resources; it has a built-in "Lobster" intelligent agent generation feature, which can be customized in 1–2 minutes. During the development and testing phase, an example "create a flying chess" automatically generated web game encountered runtime exceptions at startup, revealing some logical limitations.
