You probably saw the headlines that #builderAI was claiming to be an AI development platform, but was actually "700 engineers in India"?

That was fake news.

Screenshot from India Today: Builder.ai used 700 engineers in India for coding work it marketed as AI-powered, after hype now goes bust
The startup that made a great song and dance about AI and its in-house virtual assistant Natasha to "make building an app so easy, anyone can do it" was apparently outsourcing its job to an office in India.

The Neverending Story of AI and HIL. Sorry to appear so negative about AI (the inevitable, inescapable future of technological society) but it really is a cesspit of deceit and grifting.

Is this peak 2025 AI?

Builder.ai actually 700 engineers, no AI.

"Builder.ai, once touted as a revolutionary AI startup backed by Microsoft, has collapsed into insolvency after revelations that its flagship no-code development platform was powered not by artificial intelligence—but by 700 human engineers in India."

AI Ponzi Scheme:

"Microsoft-backed Builder.ai collapsed after an internal investigation found evidence of potentially bogus sales and the company revised down revenues to just a quarter of prior estimates.

Builder.ai, one of the UK’s best-funded technology start-ups that raised more than $500mn from prominent backers such as Qatar’s sovereign-wealth fund, informed employees earlier this week that it would commence insolvency proceedings after its lenders called a default.

Lenders stepped in after Builder.ai submitted provisional accounts to its auditor showing large reductions to prior revenue estimates, according to people familiar with the matter.

These figures showed that a prior $220mn estimate for 2024 revenues had been revised to around $55mn, while a previously reported 2023 total sales figure of $180mn would be restated to roughly $45mn, the people added."
