49 products left, but today builder
Hi friend 👋,
Building a digital product and working in the tech industry as a non-technical person is challenging. Quite a few of them were coworkers of mine. They have the heart of a technologist but no knowledge how computers function or how to write code, therefore their projects usually end in failure. Of course, learning is possible, but if you want to get started quickly, your options are restricted. You might find someone to code as freelancer for example. In that circumstance though you have to handle the product like you exactly know what the end outcome should be. In an ideal world, however, this is not the case. You begin with an idea, and as the development lifecycle progresses, you take various opportunities and shape the details. These modifications may cause the basic architecture designed by your freelancer to fail. As a result, your costs will rise, and your product will fail the majority of the time.
Another alternative is to deal with an agency that will develop the product for you. There are many excellent software agencies available, but because everything is tailor-made, it takes a long time. Quality may be better, but the costs are also higher with a wide margin. What the founder needs in that circumstance is something in between a software agency and a freelancer. She should be guided through the software lifecycle, and the time-money-quality triangle should be in its optimal position. People say you can only choose two of these three; nevertheless, it is a three-dimensional vector, and you can design your own vector by combining all three. Today's product enables you do so.
Today, Builder.ai is our product.
Builder combines AI and human effort to streamline the software development lifecycle. When you bring your concept to their door, a consultant will use their Studio to create a free prototype for you. There are many Lego-like blocks in the system, so this is largely a matter of dragging and dropping. Their AI also provides assistance in including optional features that you could miss throughout the setup process. After that, you'll receive an offer with a set price and a warranty that covers follow-up care for 24 months. To meet your deadline, they use both automated and human labor to construct the product.
I am aware of the current craze for no-code and low-code solutions. However, all of these necessitate some level of skill within the tool, and there are still significant gaps when it comes to customizing something. And I know how difficult it is to work with software agencies when all you have is a concept. In that situation, Builder gives a strong answer to make your vision a reality, and they basically redesign everything associated to an agency. Giving individuals the opportunity to test their ideas in the real world is fantastic, and I enjoyed what they said in the video: "we are changing the world one app at a time."
We’ll talk again tomorrow.
