GitHub's AI-powered Spark lets you build apps using natural language - here's how to access it

The public preview arrives amid a surge of investment from leading tech companies in AI-powered coding assistants.

Rather than turning the natural language commands into code, Spark automatically generates an interactive preview of a user's app-in-progress, allowing them to visualize their design and make further adjustments. The platform offers an array of additional features to expedite the app-building process, like single-click deployment, Copilot agent collaboration, and integration of AI-powered tools from companies like OpenAI and Meta (no API key required). As a result, some tech giants have begun to invest heavily in automated coding tools, betting on the idea that AI will handle a significant percentage of software development tasks in the not-so-distant future.
