The tremendous need of every business to build apps has led to a talent crunch – resulting in high investment, and time consumption. Estimates put mobile app development costs at $100,000 to $300,000, requiring the process to take 12-20 weeks.
Fighting back against this scarcity of talent and a lack of expertise preventing innovative entrepreneurs from expanding their businesses – Builder.ai’s mission is to allow everyone to build software that unlocks their potential. So for ambitious businesses, it no longer matters what their background, tech knowledge or budget is.
Sachin Duggal, Co-founder and Chief Wizard at Builder.ai, says, "Our vision is to be the platform partner for every great idea, for every piece of digital transformation, and for every business that has the urge to not be left behind in the traditional economy."
Incredible changes have been made thanks to software but the way it’s built, hasn’t seen major improvement over the past 20 years. Builder.ai is determined to be the disruptive leader to change the market. They provide simplified access for businesses to build software – as well as tackling the challenge of making each of the software products it builds customised and dynamically fit the companies' status quo.
Customization is challenging in the production of software since it’s considered a human effort. Mr. Duggal compares his method of developing software with the manufacturing process of the automobile as "apart from the critical efforts done by our experts, the rest of manufacturing software is an assembly system to reusable features or intelligent automation." At the last mile of this assembly system, technology experts will engage and present bespoke software that fits the customers’ demands.
This app building assembly line is managed by an AI, named Natasha. By maximising the capability of technology and reducing tedious human work, Builder.ai achieves more accurate and impeccable products quicker and cost-effectively. Joe Norena, COO at Builder.ai, elaborates, “Our platform will tell you in real-time how much it’ll cost and the estimated time it’ll take to build your software. And we do that in real-time. We’re shortening the whole cycle, so people can make a decision instantly.”
Named the ‘Hottest AI Startup’ in 2020 by Europas, Builder.ai went on to win “Hottest Scaleup” in 2022 and has worked with global brands like the BBC, NBC Universal and Pepsi, as well as thousands of SMEs and entrepreneurs. Beyond building greenfield apps, the company can also integrate and improve digital assets for its customers. One of its notable outcomes is the D2D Association, a non-profit trade association. Sam Taggart, the founder of D2D, praises Builder.ai’s accomplishment, saying, "There has been a bridge because I don't know that I was able to have the hope or the confidence in building more tech, and they made a simple, easy, and affordable solution for me to get my big vision project off the ground, which then segues me into bigger niches and marketplaces."
