Case Studies

From concept to launch, we help startups and scaling teams turn ideas into impact through custom software and AI solutions.

Conversational AI for PropTech

Betterbot began as a BuilderMind initiative to help multifamily leasing teams engage renters 24/7 without increasing staff. We built the first full production version of Betterbot — a conversational AI platform that automated lead capture, tour scheduling, and renter communication.

The product quickly gained traction, delivered measurable leasing outcomes, and ultimately spun off into a standalone company co-founded by BuilderMind’s founder. While Betterbot has since evolved into a broader agentic AI suite, the original conversational engine and leasing automation workflows we created laid the groundwork for its early success.

Full-Stack Custom Platform Development

Brighter Image, a long-standing BuilderMind client in the facilities maintenance industry, needed a modern, scalable web application to replace their aging internal system. Outdated workflows were slowing project managers, limiting throughput, and delaying payment cycles.

BuilderMind partnered with their team to design and launch BrighTrax — a proprietary web-based workflow platform that streamlines the full lifecycle from work order to payment. The platform equips project managers with real-time visibility, reduces operational friction, and strengthens the company’s ability to scale efficiently.

AI Archive Modernization for Nonprofits

Witness to War partnered with BuilderMind to envision the next generation of their digital archive — a collection of 10,000+ veteran interviews spanning decades of history. Their goal: make these stories easier to search, navigate, and understand through modern AI, while preserving their emotional and historical impact.

BuilderMind proposed a modernization plan centered around conversational discovery, automated transcription, intelligent tagging, and a redesigned platform built for speed, accessibility, and future AI enhancements.

Startup MVP Development for EdTech

Steppingblocks set out to build a data-driven platform that helps students and professionals make smarter career decisions through real outcomes, not guesswork.

Before they had a product, traction, or even a clear feature roadmap, they needed a working prototype — something solid enough to test, validate, and pitch to early partners.

BuilderMind stepped in as their technical build partner, helping transform an idea into a functional product that served as the foundation for their future platform.

Custom Enterprise Software Modernization

No Doubt Homes, a multi-million-dollar concrete works company, relied on a proprietary Scala-based system to power daily operations across scheduling, bids, and field management.

Over time, the platform became difficult to maintain, slowing productivity and creating operational risk. For nearly a decade, BuilderMind served as their technical partner — enhancing the platform, stabilizing infrastructure, and keeping mission-critical workflows running smoothly.
