Create With London 2025 Recap

AI, NoCode, and the Future of Building—A Day of Innovation and Connection

Last week, our team had the privilege of attending and sponsoring the Create With Conference 2025 at Plexal, Here East, in London. As one of Europe’s premier gatherings for AI and NoCode innovation, this event brought together over 200 founders, builders, and creators eager to shape the future of technology—no coding required.

This year’s conference was a powerhouse of actionable insights, hands-on learning, and authentic community spirit. Whether you’re a seasoned product builder or just starting your NoCode journey, Create With delivered something for everyone.

A Hub for Visionaries and Makers

With attendees representing startups, agencies, educators, and freelancers, the energy at Plexal was palpable. The event kicked off with a keynote from Jonas Templestein (iterate.com, ex-Monzo), who set the tone by declaring:

“AI and NoCode are not just tools; they’re a paradigm shift. If you’re not experimenting with these technologies, you’re already behind.”

Jonas revealed that iterate.com has reduced its product development cycle by 40% with AI-powered prototyping and automation—an eye-opening stat that resonated throughout the day.

Insights, Trends, and Stats Shared

Unlike traditional conferences, Create With was all about practical takeaways and real-world impact. Here are some highlights:

Democratizing Software Creation:

Multiple speakers emphasized that AI and NoCode are making software development accessible to everyone. AI and NoCode are rapidly lowering barriers, enabling non-technical founders and small teams to build sophisticated products. This is driving a surge in indie startups and solopreneurs launching faster and cheaper.

The Rise of Automation:‍

Workshops highlighted that automating repetitive workflows is no longer a luxury but a necessity.
Cien Solon (LaunchLemonade), in his session AI Agents 101, demystified AI agents and shared that businesses leveraging AI agents have seen up to 30% gains in operational efficiency, freeing teams to focus on innovation rather than routine tasks.

Community-Centric Growth:

Building engaged user communities is proving critical to business success.
The panel featuring Claudia Cafeo (Zapier), Andy Claremont (Glide), and others revealed that companies investing in community-building experience 3x higher customer retention and benefit from faster product feedback loops, accelerating iteration cycles.

Speed and UX Matter:

User experience is a competitive differentiator, even in rapid NoCode builds.
Petter Amlie, a Bubble performance expert, shared that optimizing NoCode app speed can increase user retention by over 20%, proving that “fast” UX is essential—not just a nice-to-have.

Scaling NoCode Is Real:

The long-standing myth that NoCode can’t scale is being debunked as platforms mature.
Enterprise adoption of NoCode for mission-critical applications signals a fundamental shift in how software is built at scale.

Other Key Sessions and takeaways:

• Demand-First Development with Katt Risen introduced a five-step framework to build products based on actual search demand, reducing market risk and increasing launch success rates by up to 50%.

• Scaling AI SaaS Without Code: Alex Rainey and Tom Wesolowski shared their journey building a $40k MRR AI customer support platform using NoCode tools, demonstrating that rapid scaling without traditional engineering teams is now achievable.
  ‍
• Bootstrapping Success Stories: Omar Farook and Tanya Van Gastel shared how they built nearly half a million in revenue and a $358k business respectively, relying on lean marketing, community engagement, and smart use of NoCode tools.

Noloco’s Role and What We Learned

As proud sponsors, Noloco was excited to engage with so many passionate builders and share our vision for making business software creation radically accessible. Our booth became a buzzing spot for conversations about how NoCode can unlock new possibilities for teams of all sizes.

We met freelancers, agency leaders and customers—each with unique stories of how AI and NoCode are transforming their work. The overwhelmingly positive feedback confirmed the hunger for tools that empower non-technical users to move fast and innovate.
