Xano and the 'No-Code' approach as limiting factor in LLM era

Let me start by providing an example:
I can provide LLM assistant screenshot of UI, required functionality description with constraints related to input fields, database schema and data sample for relevant tables and it will provide me the code for creating working endpoint.
Without manually clicking, dragging, dropping, wiring elements together etc.

Of course, it won't work for all the cases, it needs to be validated and tested etc. but for most tedious work with simple endpoints it can get you far.

But right now this workflow is not compatible with Xano mostly due to Xano functions and custom functions from library not available from Lambda context , quote from Lambdas docs page:

Regardless what you choose, Xano will always remain true to its roots and remain a No Code first solution.

This is very frustrating and basically means that if one wants to develop fast and efficiently Xano may be not best tool out there.

Are there any plans or active developments to address this situation?
