In the meeting, the State Changer had two questions. The first question was about downloading data to Excel using no-code tools. The response suggested using tools like Zap to create a spreadsheet in Google Sheets or Excel 365 and populate it with the output generated by the API. However, it was mentioned that this would require a non-trivial amount of work. So, while it is possible to download data to Excel in a formatted way using no-code tools, it may require some effort.
The second question revolved around front-end development and the best language to use. The response emphasized understanding the market's particular concerns and delivering value in their existing workflow rather than asking them to change their way of doing things. It was suggested to focus on minimal UI and using tools and technologies that align with the market's preferences. For financial institutions, robotic process automation (RPA) was mentioned as a valuable technology. The key point was to provide solutions that require minimal UI and integrate seamlessly into their existing processes. This approach is more likely to be successful in the financial industry, where bespoke solutions are valued and disruptions are to be minimized.
