I have been thinking about this a lot lately: why do so many AI products feel interchangeable?

You open one, you open another. Different logo, different color scheme, same experience. A text box. A chat interface. Some version of "ask me anything." The wrapper changes but the feeling does not.

Bildr didn't make it:

An Update on Bildr

Bildr was built on a real belief: that the ability to create software shouldn't require knowing how to write it.

We made meaningful progress on that, and we've had the privilege of watching people build their software and their businesses with Bildr, this has always been what drove us as a team.

But the ground has shifted. The emergence of agentic AI development platforms has created a fundamental change in the relationship between humans and software. The constraint that Bildr was designed to remove is now being removed in different, better ways, and at a pace that Bildr cannot match.

After a lot of consideration, and after years of building, I've made the decision that it is time to close this chapter and to shut Bildr down.

What that means for you:

Studio access to your projects and data, as well as an ability to export all of your data, will be available until May 25, 2026.

Log in to Bildr Studio and use the export option in the Studio header. Everything will be accessible until that date. Please don't wait. After May 25, support will no longer be available.

If your projects in Bildr have real-world customers on them, you will likely receive a direct email from the team offering to help and to show you how to make use of agentic AI development to make migrating off of Bildr much easier. If you don't receive an email from us and you do have live customers on your project, please reach out at support@bildr.com.

If you're on a monthly plan, we've canceled your subscription and you will see no further charges. If you're on an annual plan, you'll receive a pro-rated refund for your remaining months. That will come automatically, with no action needed from you.

Your subscription being canceled does not affect your projects. Everything you've published will continue running normally for your users until May 25th.

After May 25, 2026, Bildr Studio will go offline and all data will be deleted 30 days later.

A Note of Gratitude

Building a better way for non-coders to create software was a mission worth pursuing, and none of this would have been possible without all of you who shared this journey with us. I am deeply grateful for having had the opportunity. Thank you.
