Last month, we did case studies with 2 of our power users: LiveAltLife - a health-tech startup dedicated to solving lifestyle-based health issues & RED - a non-profit that seeks to end recidivism. LifeAltLife saved over 50% of development time while RED saved over 1 month of development time using Locofy.ai.
