It’s been almost a month since the news that Builder.ai was going into administration. Overnight, 500 incredibly talented people found themselves without jobs.

Since then, I’ve seen a lot of posts on LinkedIn — many supportive, some critical. A few have gone as far as to call Builder.ai a fraud, claiming there was no real AI, just a network of outsourced developers.

I want to set the record straight, based on what I saw from the inside.
