SVC-04: Rapid AI prototyping

Find out if the idea works before you fund the whole build.

We use AI tools to move fast and senior engineers to keep it honest. You get a working prototype real users can click through, on foundations that can grow into the product if the idea holds.

Fit check

This is for you if…

  1. 01

    You have an idea and a deadline

    A pitch, a pilot customer or a board meeting needs something real, not slides.

  2. 02

    You want to test with users first

    You'd rather learn what people actually do before committing to a full build.

  3. 03

    You started building it yourself

    You got partway with AI tools and hit the wall where it needs real engineering.

  4. 04

    You don't want throwaway code

    If the prototype works, you want to keep going from it, not start over.

Deliverables

What you get.

  1. D-01

    Working prototype

    A deployed app with the core flows working end to end, not a clickable mockup.

  2. D-02

    Ruthless scoping

    We cut the idea down to what you need to learn and build only that.

  3. D-03

    Real data and accounts

    Sign-in, a real database and the integrations the test depends on.

  4. D-04

    User testing support

    Analytics and feedback capture so test sessions turn into decisions.

  5. D-05

    Build-forward plan

    What to keep, what to harden and what it takes to go from prototype to product.

Flight plan

How this mission runs.

  1. 01
    Week 1

    Scope

    We define what the prototype must prove, who it's for and what to leave out.

  2. 02
    Weeks 2–3

    Build

    Fast iterations with AI tools, reviewed daily by a senior engineer. You see progress as it happens.

  3. 03
    Week 4

    Test

    Real users get their hands on it. We fix what blocks them and capture what they say.

  4. 04
    Week 5

    Decide

    We review what you learned and lay out the options: iterate, build forward or stop.

// Typical timings. We confirm yours in the written mission plan.

How is this different from building it myself with Lovable or Bolt?

Those tools are great for the first screens. We use similar tools, but a senior engineer owns the data model, auth and architecture so the prototype doesn't collapse when you try to grow it.

Can the prototype become the real product?

Often, yes. We build it so the core can be kept. Where we take shortcuts for speed, we tell you exactly where they are.

Do you help with the product side?

Yes. Deciding what not to build is half the job, and we'll push back on scope that doesn't serve the test.

Can it include AI features?

Yes, when the product needs them. We'll be straight with you about what current models do reliably and what they don't.
