AI Development · Vibe Coding

“Why would I need a dev studio? I have Claude.”

Honestly? Great question, and we love that you're building with AI. We build with it too. But there's a wide gap between a prototype that runs on your laptop and a product that customers, investors, and uptime depend on. That gap is exactly where we live.

We're not anti-AI

We're AI-native developers, and we just know what to do with the other 20%.

We use the same tools you do: Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and whatever ships next. AI makes us faster too, and we're not here to gatekeep or rewrite everything from scratch out of pride. The difference is judgment: knowing which AI output will bite you later, what breaks at scale, where the security holes hide, and what it actually takes to keep software alive once real people rely on it.

The gap

What AI gives you vs. what a product actually needs

What AI gives you

  • A working prototype, fast
  • An impressive demo
  • ~80% of the happy path
  • Code that runs on your machine
  • Confidence (sometimes too much)

What a real product needs

  • Secure auth & data handling
  • Architecture that survives scale
  • Environments, CI/CD & backups
  • Tests so changes don't break things
  • Monitoring & a human on call
  • Dependency & security updates
  • Code your next dev can maintain

Think of AI as a brilliant junior dev who never sleeps and has read everything, but has zero context on your business, your users, or what happens at 3 a.m. We're the senior engineers who give it judgment.

How we help

What we do for AI-built projects

Setup & Foundations

We put real rails under your prototype: architecture, repo hygiene, environments, databases, authentication, secrets management, and CI/CD pipelines. The stuff AI skips.

Babysitting & Support

Monitoring, on-call coverage, bug triage, dependency and security updates, and scaling, so your app keeps running while you focus on the business, not the 2 a.m. outage.

Code Review & Guardrails

We review what your AI ships, catch the security holes and subtle bugs it misses, add tests, and set up guardrails so quality stays high as you keep prompting.

Rescue & Refactor

Hit the wall where the AI keeps breaking things it already fixed? We untangle the spaghetti, pay down the technical debt, and get your project moving again.

AI-Pair Workflow

We work alongside your existing AI workflow, setting the project up so your prompts produce better code, pairing with you and your tools, and keeping a senior human in the loop.

Production Hardening

Security review, performance tuning, error handling, observability. The unglamorous-but-critical work that turns a slick demo into something you can confidently charge money for.

Who this is for

Built with AI and hit a wall? You're in the right place.

Solo foundersYou shipped an AI-built MVP, got traction, and now need it to not fall over.
Non-technical buildersYou vibe-coded something real and want a technical partner you can actually trust.
Teams using AIYour team ships fast with AI but needs senior oversight, review, and guardrails.

Straight answers

Questions you're probably asking

If AI can write the code, why do I need developers at all?
Because writing code is only part of building a product. AI is excellent at generating a first version fast, but it doesn't own the outcomes: security, architecture, scaling, testing, deployment, and what happens when something breaks in production. We provide the engineering judgment and accountability that AI can't, so your app is something you can actually run a business on.
Do you replace my AI workflow, or work with it?
We work with it. We use the same tools, Claude, Cursor, Copilot, and we'll set your project up so your AI produces better, safer code. You keep moving fast; we keep a senior human in the loop.
I built my MVP with Claude or Cursor. Can you take it over?
Yes. This is one of our most common engagements. We'll audit what you've built, put the missing foundations in place (auth, environments, CI/CD, tests), harden it for production, and either hand it back stronger or support it ongoing, whatever fits.
Is AI-generated code secure?
Not automatically. AI frequently ships code with exposed secrets, missing authorization checks, injection risks, and unsafe defaults, because it optimizes for "works," not "safe." We review for exactly these issues and lock them down before they reach real users.
What does “babysitting” an AI project actually mean?
Ongoing care: monitoring and alerts, on-call coverage for outages, triaging and fixing bugs, keeping dependencies and security patches up to date, and scaling the system as you grow, so the app stays healthy without you having to become a DevOps engineer.
Will you rewrite everything from scratch?
Almost never. We're pragmatic. We keep what works, fix what's risky, and refactor only where it earns its keep. A full rewrite is a last resort, not a default.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the state of your project and how much support you want. We start with an audit and a clear proposal. Setup, hardening, and ongoing support can each be scoped separately. Book a free AI-project audit to get a number.

Built something with AI? Let's pressure-test it.

Send us your repo or your demo. We'll tell you, honestly, what's solid, what's risky, and what it takes to make it real.
