The open-source drag-and-drop LLM builder with 55,000 GitHub stars froze feature development on July 29, 2026, archived the repository on August 13 and declared end of life on August 31. Maintainer HenryHengZJ was candid about the cause: "the typical rigid workflow low-code approach quickly hits the limit when it comes to complexity" as developers hand complex work to coding agents instead. A tool for building AI without code, killed by AI that writes code. The Apache-2.0 source stays up for forks.
