About bld.ai Our mission is to create meaningful jobs for millions of people, by teaching them how to build human-centered AI products. Our Philosophy In the age of software, innovative organizations invest significantly to build their own proprietary digital products that offer a great User Experience (UX) and leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI). This omnipresent AI software layer opens a new dimension where operations, products and services merge into one user experience. Whether the user is an employee, another business, or a customer, the cost, speed, and ease of utilizing the AI layer becomes the most important differentiators between winners and losers in globally competitive marketplaces. Off the shelf software does not differentiate you, nor does it provide the integration, flexibility, and affordability you need to succeed. In the age of software, we believe the only way to win is through bespoke digital products where you own the IP and have the ability to prioritize new features. However, building teams that build AI with great UX is incredibly hard. Our value proposition is that we provide you with teams that will design, build, support and maintain those products. Why choose bld.ai Experience. Our team has been building AI software with great UX for 20 years. We have both the academic and practical experience required to manage expectations and focus on the important parts of building machine learning engines successfully. Speed. We deploy nimble teams of 3-7 people to quickly build tools, deploy features and improve functionality. Most importantly, our teams have worked together in the past and operate as full stack, end-to-end squads. IP Ownership. All the IP we create is the sole property of those we serve. We build it from the ground up working hand-in-hand with you. Bespoke software is less expensive and provides better integration and scale.
