Meituan, a platform known for its food delivery, recently quietly launched an eye-catching AI artifact – NoCode. With its powerful features and high user-friendliness, this tool has sparked widespread attention and discussion, making it easy for non-technical users to create websites. This article will take you to understand the magic of NoCode, from its unique design concept to practical application effects, and explore how Meituan expands its business boundaries through AI technology and opens a new chapter of “All in AI”.
Hello, I’m Simonlin, to be honest, I’m very confused now.
Eat takeout and eat an AI? This is a bit outrageous
My wallet is cleaner than my face, and I have always been a loyal user of Spelling Good Rice, and frankly speaking, if I have a rank in Good Food, I will definitely be a diamond or above.
Because I think that good rice is one of the greatest inventions of modern times, and it perfectly solves the paradox of having no money and wanting to eat enough.
The day before yesterday, after I got the takeaway, I took a hot shower, sat at the table, took out the tablet, and prepared to find a TV series to accompany the meal.
At this time, a message from Yunshu’s group attracted me.
The message read: “Niu X! ”
I know that the quality of Yunshu’s group chat is quite high, and group friends are usually not surprised.
Mainly, this message has been hanging in my notification board, I have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and I really want to click on it, otherwise it is like a thorn, stuck in my heart, no matter how uncomfortable it looks.
Then I saw a link, a web link———— the initiator of “Startling the Cow”.
The friend who posted this link also said: “Come and apply for closed testing”.
To achieve these three challenges, product managers will only continue to appreciate
Good product managers are very scarce, and product managers who understand users, business, and data are still in demand when they go out of the Internet. On the contrary, if you only do simple communication, inefficient execution, and shallow thinking, I am afraid that you will not be able to go through the torrent of the next 3-5 years.

To be honest, during this time, new products appear every day, all of which can cause a sensation. So, when I saw the word “closed beta”, my fingers were faster than my brain, and I immediately clicked on it.
What caught my eye was a pretty decent UI, and I saw a word that shouldn’t have appeared here at a glance: Meituan.
Meituan ???
With a “curiosity” mentality, I browsed the website.
The general meaning of that webpage is that Meituan has made a very good AI Agent, and it has given it a very good name –
NoCode。
There is also a button to apply for closed beta at the bottom of the page. After I filled in the information, I clicked the button and found that it didn’t respond at all. At this time, I began to look carefully and found that it should have just made a button, but there was no click event.
Then I saw a hint in the bottom right corner: The page is purely fictional.
It was actually there from beginning to end, quietly watching me, a fool, mess at an empty shell.
Played ???
Unwillingly, I tried to delete all the characters after .cn and press enter.
Do you know that when I entered the main domain of this website, the feeling was no less than the surprise of the Wuling fisherman seeing the Peach Blossom Spring for the first time?
I saw a page that was very different from the previous shell website, with a very striking sentence:
“In a word, present what you think”.
Is it so crazy?
There is a login interface in the upper right corner, I clicked in, and I was really surprised: it actually let me scan the code with Meituan to log in!
No… Is it really made by Meituan?
I think it’s reasonable for Tencent to do this, after all, they are related to the industry. But you Meituan, a food delivery platform, you also follow the trend?
Before I used it, I silently deducted a little points for the website in front of me.
NoCode, such a domineering name, behind it is a takeaway platform… You know this feeling, just like a young lady with a sweet voice on the Internet, and behind the screen is a big man who picks her feet, and there is a sense of disobedience.
Out of respect for the good meal, I decided to try it first.
This AI works more diligently than me
There are several cases provided on the platform, and I chose one at random: design a pop style e-commerce page.
After sending the auto-filled prompt, NoCode is like an assistant, helping me write the requirements document and design the overall framework.
The kitten on the right in the first picture is it, and it’s quite cute.
After waiting for a while, the first version of the page was made, and during this time, I didn’t intervene at all, giving the assistant the most freedom (actually lazy).
This is the first version, and you can continue to update it in a conversational way, just describe your needs.
Effect:
Looking at the website that the assistant helped me create in less than 2 minutes, I was quite satisfied. However, I have to use it again.
A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and a need suddenly came to mind.
Yun Shu and I are roll partners, and we often spur each other to write more things and achieve 100,000 fans as soon as possible.
Who is Yun Shu? It is a prompt word.
So why don’t I let NoCode help me make a small game and spur Yun Shu well?
I made a little game to spur Yunshu
So, I uploaded my avatar and Yunshu’s avatar, and then sent this instruction to NoCode:
NoCode not only understood my needs well, but also helped me install dependencies.
It’s another hard work, to be honest, I feel a little guilty when I see this little black cat working hard.
I didn’t intervene in the whole process, and the first version of the interface came out.
It looks like this:
Although it is a bit abstract, but at least the interaction is okay, I click “Spur Yunshu”, it will really play that moment, and there is a rebound feel…
Then, I click “Edit” on the dialog box, and then click on the previewed web page, which can directly modify a specific element on the web page… Officially called Visual Edit, and the modification of chatting in the dialog box is called Chat Edit.
I think this is a very suitable function for beginners. Think about it, if you think that an element on this web page is not doing well, does not meet your requirements, you are not a professional, and you don’t know how to tell the AI, you can select the element you want to modify in visual editing mode, adjust it, and adjust it to your liking.
The official is very fond of us novices.
In order to take care of novices who can’t write professional prompts, they have specially added an “optimization” function to the text box, which will first understand your needs, and then convert them into more professional prompts, which can be sent directly to your “programmer assistant” – Code Agent developed by Meituan.
Moreover, if you feel that the optimized prompt is not what you want, you can also withdraw the optimization and continue to modify, it gives you a high degree of freedom.
After the website is ready, how to share it is also a difficult problem.
Just as Pinhaofan really considers our wallets, NoCode also really considers every step of the developer’s operation.
If you no longer need to modify, click the “Deploy” button in the upper right corner of the preview area, and the platform will deploy your developed web page online after review, and you can share it with your friends, which is really a powerful tool for cupping, iterating, and communication!
It is necessary to have an official review before deployment. In my previous article, I once recommended Yourware, which can be accessed directly in China for a while, and you can deploy a web page by directly uploading code or files, which is convenient and fast.
However, problems also arise——— because there was no review before deployment, many people used Yourware to deploy something that could not be written, which seriously polluted the network environment, resulting in Yourware being affected by the pond fish and having to move abroad.
Since then, “non-large manufacturers cannot provide online deployment services” is the consensus of almost everyone, because of this cause and effect, small teams cannot afford it at all.
But now, Meituan has done it, and it is for you to deploy directly in the preview area, without having to take a few more steps, which is good.
When I posted this website to Yunshu’s group, the group members went crazy:
Everyone began to spur Yun Shu frantically. Then, Yun Shu came back and saw that the sky had fallen:
Look, isn’t this a spur effect?
If I want to optimize it later, I can use the same URL, so I don’t have to change it, which is quite convenient.
And if I want to expand the scale a little and let more people spur Yunshu, I will add the user authentication function, because NoCode provides a database very generously, if you want to use it, apply directly, and after passing, you can get a 512M capacity Database, which is completely enough in lightweight scenarios.
If you feel that it is not enough, you can also ask the staff to apply again, and they will reply within one working day.
In this way, NoCode is really just like its name, you don’t need to write a piece of code, you can develop a website purely by chatting, and not only a front-end page, but a real website with a front-end and back-end.
It really did the sentence: “In one sentence, what you think”.
While I was wandering around, I also found a section that warmed me up – the NoCode Community.
You can post your experience or find bugs to the community, communicate with your like-minded friends, and the official will also read these posts and reply.
This shows that this time, Meituan is serious. They are not just doing it for fun, but they have put a lot of thought into making this platform a good job and bringing a better experience to users.
Well, I now admit that Meituan not only has takeaway, but also has a Code Agent platform ——— NoCode. It can do it by letting you say just one sentence and help you make a website.
In the future, Nocode will become the key to Meituan’s comprehensive layout of AI and open the door to the market.
If you also want to experience NoCode, let the little black cat help you make a website. The link is below:

“All in AI”, and then what?
At this point, I still can’t forget the surprise of using NoCode to create a shareable website for the first time. As I explored deeper, I fell in love with this little black cat more and more.
But the phenomenon behind NoCode makes me reflect.
Today, major domestic manufacturers have shouted “All in AI”, relying on their rich heritage, launching one powerful AI product after another, and this invisible war has undoubtedly started quietly.
Today, Alibaba, Byte, Tencent, Meituan and other major manufacturers have entered the game, and there will only be more in the future.
I really expect everyone to bloom and create an ecosystem together, but I know it’s a bit difficult.
So…
“All in AI”, and then what?
Thanks for reading this. If this article has been helpful to you, it is my pleasure.
