Builder.ai Receives Investment From Microsoft

Builder.ai, a London, UK-based AI powered next generation composable software development platform, received an equity investment from and signed a collaboration agreement with Microsoft (Nasdaq “MSFT”).

The amount of the investment was not disclosed.

Established in 2016 and led by serial entrepreneur Sachin Dev Duggal, Builder.ai provides a suite of products and services that allow every individual and business to turn their ideas into software. Its composable platform allows anyone with an idea to build an app (web or mobile) via reusable lego-like features, coupled with customization from its managed expert network of designers and developers atop its service through human assisted, AI powered assembly line.

The collaboration deal will see the two companies collaborate on creating AI powered solutions that empower businesses to develop applications and become digitally native without the need for any technical expertise. The deal will accelerate go-to-market growth of the Builder.ai platform through deep product connections across the Microsoft product ecosystem. This includes integrations across Azure OpenAI Service and other Azure Cognitive Services with Builder.ai’s software assembly line and adoption of the Microsoft Cloud and AI. Native integration of Builder.ai’s Natasha, an AI product manager, within the Microsoft Teams store will enable Microsoft customers to build a prototype of their business applications, with access and reach to new customers for Builder.ai.

Builder.ai is headquartered in London, supported by employees and hubs in Delhi NCR, Singapore, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Sophia Antipolis and Dubai.
