Over 30 million mobile and web app developers around the world are hard at work creating the next big thing. But like most jobs, large chunks of their work (as much as 60%) remains monotonous and could be automated. To address this problem, AI startup DhiWise is building a programming automation platform and is today announcing a $7M series A funding round to eliminate the mundane and repetitive tasks in developers’ lives. The round was led by Accel and Together Fund with participation from India Quotient along with founders from companies like WebEngage, Fleetx and Rocketlane. With this funding round, DhiWise has raised close to $9.5M in total.
In its beta phase over the past 8 months, DhiWise has already saved more than 1 million-hours of programming for its 30,000 users. The DhiWise platform converts designs into code along with data binding, authentication, run time permissions, authorizations and much more so that developers can focus on business logic and core algorithms. It generates clean, structured, readable and modular code in MVC and clean code architecture that can be built upon later for scalability. DhiWise empowers developers so that they can work with their highest abilities to focus on coding what matters
Founded in April 2021 by Vishal Virani (CEO) and Rahul Shingala (CTO), DhiWise goes beyond a low-code or no-code fix for developers but a DevTool that solves real-life developers problems. These were problems that the founders saw first hand having worked together for 8 years in IT consultancy with a team of 150 developers who built 200 projects for clients across 24 countries. To meet project deadlines and increase productivity, they deployed several low-code and no-code tools (including existing Figma to code conversion platforms) but the results were flawed. The generated output either did not have the required code quality and architecture or had multiple dependencies on the tool in consideration.
This prompted them to build a programming platform of their own. After 6 months of R&D, their team of 50+ developers came up with multiple algorithms to automate the programming lifecycle by keeping in mind the source code standards where developers can build upon the code further. Within 8 months of setting up, DhiWise won the Golden Kitty awards 2021 by Product Hunt in the developer tool category. Their Figma to code plugin also has 5000+ installations so far.
DhiWise co-founder and CEO, Vishal Virani commented: “We don't want to restrict ourselves to internal applications or other drag-and-drop platforms to create MVPs, so we developed a pro-code platform that can enable developers to deliver production-ready source code 10x faster for all kinds of apps, internal or complex. What sets DhiWise apart from its contemporaries is its accuracy of auto-identification of components, source code quality and no dependency hell.”
“DhiWise-generated source code will be as good as being written by developers themselves. We are laser sharp focussed on empowering developers to become more productive instead of replacing them. To adapt the platform, developers need not change their behaviour; it is going to be as easy as using an IDE in their day-to-day lives. DhiWise is the only platform in the world which supports declarative UI in the low-code space, eventually being the torch bearer of a new category which we proudly call “Pro-code”.
DhiWise plans to use the investment to move one step forward toward its vision of building the most intelligent programming platform in the world. Keeping React and Flutter applications as the core of their value proposition but including features like importing design systems, auto-identification of reusable components from Figma designs, and declarative UI in their upcoming releases so that developers can use the platform at any given point in time during their app development journey. No matter if it is a new application or an application with an existing code base, building front-end production-level applications would be a breeze.
Manav Garg, Founding Partner at Together Fund added: "DhiWise's vision of enabling the ~30M professional devs today by embedding itself directly into their workflows and not requiring them to change their behaviour is compelling"
