Engineer.ai,
a human-assisted artificial intelligence platform, said it has secured
$29.5 million (about Rs 210 crore) funding led by Lakestar and Jungle
Ventures with participation from Softbank’s DeepCore.
The

customer acquisition, Sachin Dev Duggal, Founder and Chief Wizard of Engineer.ai, said.
Engineer ai was created so that everyone can build an idea without learning to code, he added.
“The
capital comes at a time of rapid growth and will propel the platform
into the mainstream, allowing ‘Builder’ to open the door for entire
categories of companies that could not consider it before,” he said.

Its
‘Builder’ solution allows people — even those without technical skills —
to get customised apps built for Android, iOS and other platforms.
