The platform also includes a variety of features that help businesses manage and maintain their software, such as bug tracking, version control, and deployment tools. It is a cloud-based platform which means businesses can access it from anywhere.

As part of the new collaboration, Builder.ai’s Natasha, an AI product manager, will be integrated across Microsoft Teams store. It will also offer customers integrated access to cloud services on Azure.
