- Builder.ai was falsely accused of faking AI with 700 engineers in India.
- The company actually had a team of 15 engineers working on Natasha CodeGen, an AI tool for software development.
- Builder.ai's downfall was due to accounting fraud, not the alleged AI deception.
- The viral claim about 700 engineers originated from an unverified social media post.
- Former engineers at Builder.ai built a legitimate AI system, but the company lacked focus and rebuilt existing tools.
- The company's external developer network faced fraud issues with billing hours.
- Builder.ai's collapse was unrelated to its engineering team's work.
