Many organizations have <b>built custom workflow apps using low-code and no-code tools</b>, and we anticipate that this number will continue to grow with the GA releases of the Chat API and AppSheet’s Chat app building capabilities later this year.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: inherit;">For teams to thrive in this rapidly changing era of hybrid work, it’s essential to build authentic personal connections and a strong sense of belonging, no matter when or where individuals work.
