Microsoft increased its investment in Builder.ai, a firm founded by a tech expert Sachin Dev Duggal that enables organizations to develop apps without having any programming experience, as part of its artificial intelligence goals. With a "low-code and no-code" concept, this London-based firm was established in 2017. It allows you to design your own business app using simply drag and drop functionality.
Microsoft plans to integrate "Natasha- the AI Product Manager" of Builder.ai into its Teams video and chat software so that customers may build commercial apps on the platform. The company claims that by giving Natasha a more human voice using Microsoft's AI technology, Builder.ai would also enhance Natasha.
Natasha has the power to change the lengthy consulting process that is software development into a smooth, predictable, repeatable process.
In the beta, the solution will show up in the Builder Studio in two different ways: as a chat agent who listens to customer discussions, tags features automatically, and asks questions of the customer-facing teams. This will guarantee that the cumulative wisdom of all talk's powers each discourse.
The relationship, according to Builder.ai founder Sachin Duggal, would provide Builder.ai and its clients access to Microsoft's Azure suite of cloud tools, which includes a set of AI capabilities it offers through a partnership with American business OpenAI. Developers using the Microsoft Azure platform will also get access to the network of experts at Builder.ai.
“The deal marked an extension of our mission to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more.” says corporate vice president of business development at Microsoft, Jon Tinter in his statement. “We see Sachin Duggal’s Builder.ai creating an entirely new category that empowers everyone to be a developer and our new, deeper collaboration fueled by Azure AI will bring the combined power of both companies to businesses around the world,” Tinter added.
In this case, Sachin Dev Duggal and Microsoft remain silent when the financial information is made public.
Microsoft allegedly invested $13 billion in OpenAI, the company that developed the well-known AI chatbot ChatGPT. Microsoft has subsequently incorporated OpenAI's AI language processing technology into its Bing search engine and Office productivity software.
The partnership shows Microsoft's ongoing attempts to strengthen its AI initiatives, which have been a key focus for the company as it looks to dominate the field and more aggressively compete with rival technology behemoth Google in search.
Recently, there’s a petition sent to the Indian government asking for a review of the Patent Act and the necessary adjustments to address the demands of AI innovation by Delhi Court. Sachin Dev Duggal extended his tremendous fervor and motivation to proceed with this news piece.
The future of software, according to Duggal, "will be where the customer doesn't need to be technical," he says. He said, "What we're really doing is creating a world where customers can build software, run software, and host software."
“For Microsoft, it opens not just a new client who is a digital native, but also someone who is going on to the Azure Cloud, where the creation of the software is utilizing essential portions of the Microsoft stack, as well as the Builder stack. Because of this, I believe it to be comprehensive. The goal, according to Duggal, is to” empower the next 100 million software applications."
