With Engineer.ai No Tech Experience Required To Build An App

Following Alexander Kwamin’s recent visit to his local barbershop, the lead software engineer at Builder left with a fresh cut.

Meanwhile, his barber left with an app prototype.

“We were simply discussing my job, and the work I do around AI,” Kwamin said, referring to Builder’s platform that creates custom software solutions. “That’s when he told me about his idea for a service application and challenged me to pull out my phone and render an app.”

About 10 minutes later, they had developed a prototype that was about 85 percent complete using Builder’s Builder Now platform.

Engineer.ai, which launched in late 2019, gives people with an idea the ability to whip up a design concept before committing tens of thousands of dollars to the development process. It joins Builder’s existing solutions that use human-assisted AI that pulls reusable features from previous builds and then connects them with a network of developers to fulfill custom software requests for any new build.

“My barber had this idea for a while, which is representative of a lot of people,” Kwamin said. “They don’t think of the idea as rooted in reality, because traditionally, to get it past an idea the cost is high. This is precisely where Builder fits in.”

The new platform falls directly in line with Builder’s mission to democratize software development by making it accessible for everyone — not just those with technical expertise.
