Sachin Dev Duggal Explains How Engineer.ai Platform Provides 360-degree Solution

Engineer.ai is a platform that does what an in-house engineering team would do without any of the cost of running and managing one. Sachin Dev Duggal, Co-founder & Chief Wizard of Engineer.ai explains how the platform provides 360-degree solution for any business to operate, manage and scale up their technology needs.

Engineer.ai is a human-assisted Artificial Intelligence (AI) that empowers everyone to build and operate software projects. Established in 2013 in San Francisco, the startup has a branch office in Gurgaon. “Four years ago, we started out with a dream to be the connection between every great idea and a fully realized product.

The idea is to empower everyone to build their ideas; especially given that only 3 per cent of people are successful in taking an idea to a live product,” says Sachin Dev Duggal, Co-founder & Chief Wizard of Engineer.ai, adding that to achieve this, they went right back to the drawing board on how software is made today.

They looked at best practices across industries and landed on the magic Henry Ford did with his assembly line. “Back in the 1900s, cars were produced by a small group of people that did everything from the engine to the seats. Now, it’s all on an assembly line where different teams from around the world work on their specific areas bringing their respective core competencies to the finalized product.

We are applying this methodology to custom-built software by employing an AI-powered assembly line. This line brings together building blocks of frequently used features (“building blocks”) and the best human talent from around the world,” states Sachin Duggal, pointing out that the result is delivering at 3x the speed and one-fourth the price. This is possible because the customers do not pay for code that’s already been written 100 times; instead only paying for what is unique and customized.

Engineer.ai launches app building solution, eyes $150 million revenue

Engineer.ai expects growth to be driven by its 'Builder' solution that allows people, even those without technical skills, to get customised apps built for Android, iOS and other platforms

Tech firm Engineer.ai said it expects to significantly ramp up its revenues to up to $150 million in the next five years from its suite of app development solutions.

The company expects this growth to be driven by its ‘Builder’ solution that allows people—even those without technical skills—to get customised apps built for Android, iOS and other platforms.

“Often people want to build apps but many times, they don’t have the technical skills or have been misled by developers. We want to offer a model that can help them choose the kind of app they want to build without worrying about the technicalities," Engineer.ai co-founder Sachin Dev Duggal told reporters.

He added that the cost of service will depend on the level of customisation and the features that the app has. The company also offers services to host and operate the app. “We expect USD 100-150 million in revenue to come in over the next five years from these services... Last year, our revenue was about USD 23 (rpt) 23 million," he said.

Drawing parallels with the process of ordering a pizza, Duggal said its “human-assisted artificial intelligence" platform allows users to pick features they want to include on the app, right from building the app to finer additions like Facebook integration.

Building a software application has become a child’s play now. Engineer.ai is one such platform, based on artificial intelligence, which allows people to build software without knowing how to code. The company’s core product, Builder, has hundreds of building blocks of frequently used code which can be cross utilised by different customers. Since the cost of the program is split across a large number of customers, it becomes possible to offer it at a more reasonable price point. Ramesh Kumar Raja caught up with Sachin Dev Duggal, Founder and CEO, Engineer.ai, to discuss more about the company, its services and the business model.

LOS ANGELES and LONDON, Jan. 9, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Engineer.ai, the human-assisted AI that empowers everyone to build and operate bespoke software, announced...

Engineer.ai, the human-assisted AI that empowers everyone to build and operate bespoke software, announced today at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, that it has entered a strategic partnership with DigitalOcean, the cloud of choice for developers creating modern applications, globally.

The partnership provides small & medium businesses and developers a completely scalable way to create bespoke / made-to-order software products.  Engineer.ai's Builder platform is an AI-powered Software Assembly line that breaks projects into small building blocks of re-usable features customized by elastic human capacity (professional software engineers) from across the world. The result is high-quality custom software at a fraction of the price and time of traditional development. DigitalOcean's Developer Cloud provides a simplified app setup and deployment experience allowing developers to spend more time on innovation vs. managing complex server infrastructures.

"Our mission is to allow anyone with an idea to build bespoke software, regardless of technical expertise, and we're big believers in DigitalOcean's commitment to bringing their award-winning Developer Cloud to our CloudOps marketplace, giving our customers an affordable and easy cloud alternative," said Sachin Dev Duggal, Founder & CEO at Engineer.ai.

"At DigitalOcean, our focus is on making the lives of developers easier by abstracting away the complexity of infrastructure, so users of all skill levels can build powerful applications," said Mark Templeton, CEO of DigitalOcean. "Engineer.ai's Builder is a natural extension of our mission.  We believe this partnership will further bridge the technical gap for customers, so they can bring their ideas into reality."

Co-headquartered in Los Angeles and London, Engineer.ai is one of the featured technology companies in the UK International Trade booth at CES, located at Tech West Sands Expo, Eureka Park #51441.

Co-founder at Shoto and sd2labs

Shoto and sd2labs recently co-hosted a webinar with RocketSpace where I outlined some of my favorite strategies and user acquisition hacks for apps. I refer to these strategies as the “magic” — or the glue — that increases adoption and promotes long term engagement.

The 3 keys to creating “magic”

Within 50 seconds of downloading an app, users decide to get started or jump ship. The first thing the user sees — whether it’s copy, colors, a splash screen or permissions — is critical to the first impression your app makes and, potentially, its long-term success.

So how do you make “magic” happen? Appeal to the (1) motivation, (2) ability and (3) triggers in the process of adoption (a.k.a. the first 50 seconds).

Let’s break it down:

Motivation = satisfy a need or emotion — the one thing that will blow users’ minds.

We created the following push notification on Shoto to create this motivation: “Your friend X has 50 photos to share with you.” It creates excitement and triggers the user’s brain to release dopamine. WIRED offers a great explanation of the science behind it.

Ability = ease of use — the action users need to take in order to understand why your app is fun and/or useful.

For example, in Venmo, you can send money in two clicks. Straight away, users can use Venmo’s app to send money quickly and easily, establishing its convenience and use case.

Trigger = reach out at the right time/place — choose an action users will be able to take easily.

An easy example is putting running sneakers next to your bed to trigger a run in the morning.

Essentially, your app or technology needs to make sense to your users at the appropriate time and place.
