Today, Builder.ai, the next-generation composable software creation platform driven by AI that makes it easy and accessible for everyone to convert their ideas into software, announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft that includes an equity investment in the company.

The two enterprises will work together to build Artificial Intelligence-powered solutions that enable businesses to create applications and become digital natives without the requirement for specialized technical knowledge. With its AI-powered composable software platform, Builder.ai, which was founded in 2016 and is still the market leader, enables anybody with an idea to create an app (web or mobile) quickly and is 70% more affordable.

“We are thrilled to be working so closely with Microsoft. This collaboration for Builder.ai is centered around the alignment of our core mission. From my first meeting with Microsoft to the moment we agreed to collaborate more strategically, one thing has been really clear-Microsoft’s commitment to helping everyone unlock their true potential,” said Sachin Dev Duggal, Chief Wizard & Founder of Builder.ai. “We are ecstatic that the world’s largest software company chose Builder.ai as a collaborator to lay down deeper roots in helping the next 100m businesses and beyond become digitally native.”

The secret to Builder.ai’s success and the secret to successful customer digital transformations worldwide is breaking down software into its reusable lego-like features, combined with customization from its managed expert network of designers and developers on top of its service through the power of human-assisted, AI-powered assembly line.

Through strong product links throughout the Microsoft product ecosystem, the cooperation will hasten the go-to-market expansion of the Builder.ai platform. This entails the adoption of the Microsoft Cloud and AI as well as connections between the Azure OpenAI Service and other Azure Cognitive Services and the software assembly line of Builder.ai. Natasha, an AI product manager from Builder.ai, will be natively integrated into the Microsoft Teams store, allowing Microsoft clients to easily create a prototype of their business apps and expanding Builder.ai’s customer base.

Through collaborative go-to-market initiatives across SMBs & Enterprises, Builder.ai is thrilled to accelerate the go-to-market expansion of the Builder.ai platform. At the same time, collaborations across the Microsoft Developer Platforms significantly speed up the development of a worldwide dominating end-to-end developer platform that unites the non-technical client and the expert from the Builder.ai Expert Network.

“Our collaboration with Builder.ai is an extension of our mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. We see Builder.ai creating an entirely new category that empowers everyone to be a developer and our new, deeper collaboration fuelled by Azure AI will bring the combined power of both companies to businesses around the world,” said Jon Tinter, Corporate Vice President, Business Development, Microsoft.
