Services · SaaS MVP Development

Your MVP, built AI-first from day one.

Not a prototype. A production-ready product real users can sign up for, use, and pay for — with AI as the architecture, not a feature bolted on after launch.

The problem

Most MVPs get rebuilt
the moment AI needs to be "added."

Most MVPs are built to prove a UI, then rebuilt from scratch once AI needs to be added to the core workflow. That second build costs more than the first and burns the runway you needed for customer validation.

AI bolted on after launch

Ship first, retrofit AI later.

The UI and data model are built without AI in mind, so adding a real AI-powered workflow later means reworking both.

  • Data model doesn't support what the AI needs to reason over
  • AI ends up as a bolted-on chatbot, not the core workflow
  • A second, more expensive build follows within months
AI-first from day one

Design the AI layer first. Build around it.

We decide what the model handles and what data it needs before a single screen is designed — so the product doesn't need a second build to scale.

  • Data model designed to support the core AI workflow from day one
  • AI is the product's core loop, not an add-on feature
  • Ships once, scales without a rewrite

What we build

A production MVP,
not a proof of concept.

Built on Next.js, React, and Node.js — the same stack we'd use for a funded Series A product, scoped down to what proves your core hypothesis fastest.

Deliverables
  • Production MVP on Next.js, React, and Node.js
  • Core AI-powered workflow, fully functional — not a demo
  • Authentication, billing, and admin basics included
  • Staging environment access throughout the build

Process & pricing

4–8 weeks, fixed price,
weekly demos.

Scope, not team size, is what moves this number — a single core workflow with one integration ships closer to 4 weeks; multiple user roles and third-party integrations push toward 8.

01Discovery call — free, 30 minutes. We map the product and the core hypothesis to test.
02Scoped proposal — fixed price and timeline, within 5 business days.
03Architecture design — the AI-first data model and workflow, before any UI work begins.
04Build, with weekly demos — staging access throughout, not a surprise at handover.
05Launch + hypercare — 2 weeks of tuning after go-live, optional retainer after that.

FAQs

Questions before
the call.

The whole product — auth, billing, admin basics, and the core AI-powered workflow, as one architecture designed from day one.
The scoped proposal is fixed before we start. Genuine scope changes are re-quoted transparently, never absorbed silently or billed by the hour.
Yes — we regularly build from existing Figma files, or design the interface ourselves if you don't have one yet.
A 2-week hypercare window is included. Ongoing evolution is available on a monthly retainer starting at $2,500/month.
We only take on a small number of builds at a time, so if we can't meet your timeline, we'll tell you honestly on the discovery call and point you to someone we trust rather than overcommit. Ongoing support runs on a monthly retainer with response expectations agreed upfront.
