Novel Application Creation Paradigm Using Natural Language Compiler Based on LLM

The development of smart cities requires an increasing demand for diversified applications, thus requiring more convenient ways of application creation. In recent years, the rapid development and applications of Large Language Model (LLM) technology increasingly facilitate its use in application creation. Although “LLM Aided Coding” can reduce the need for developers to have advanced computer skills, it still requires them to master the use of computer programming languages. As a new type of application creation method, “LLM-Enabled Application / AI Agents” can simplify the development process and meet the complex application requirements in smart cities. Developers could create applications using natural language, thus effectively reducing the complexity and workload of application creation. However, these applications still rely on LLM in the execution phase, which greatly limits their operational efficiency and cost. In this paper, we propose a new application creation paradigm using the Natural Language Compiler (NLC) based on LLM. The introduction of NLC allows developers to create and release applications by simply describing the application requirements in natural language and performing simple configurations, without relying on LLM during the application execution phase. NLC draws on the architecture of AI Agents and further introduces Methodology Component to address the issue of inaccuracies and erroneous assumptions in planning due to the lack of factual grounding, thus enhancing the extensibility of planning capabilities. NLC adopts the “register-discover-invoke” mechanism to support the flexible extension of tools. These improvements maintain the convenience of application creation while enabling NLC to have a stronger and more flexible application creation capability, this new application creation paradigm provides a more efficient and flexible solution for smart cities.
