AI does the heavy lifting, people stay in charge

Use AI to interpret permitted inputs, suggest structured mappings and generate candidate outputs for the stated task modules. Use deterministic code for arithmetic, schema validation, hard constraints and reproducible tests. Review source-linked explanations and uncertainty before accepting results. One supported stack and database set; security review, data migration and production release remain engineering decisions. A model suggestion is never a verified fact, professional decision or authorization to act.

What your team sees

Primary screens: Project and repository setup, Generation and review workspace, Deployment and operations. Use a project list with environment and branch state, a large central editor and diff canvas, and a right-hand panel for prompts, schema, templates and comments. Let users compare generated code against the current branch side by side. Display draft, changes requested and merged states. Provide a client preview link with comments anchored to the relevant file or endpoint. Make the task-specific outcome reviewed backend code, REST APIs, database schemas and deployment changes linked to pull requests visible beside its evidence, review state and value baseline.

Accounts and administration

Project ownership, repository and environment access, template versions, client comments, approval states, usage allowances, revision limits, deployment history and a rights record for supplied material. Add organization access boundaries, named reviewers, usage caps, data retention controls, export logs and explicit approval for external actions.

Integrations and data access

Customer-owned repositories, authorized specifications and permitted data sources. Cloud source control, CI pipelines, database engines and deployment targets. Start with file exchange and validate destination specifications before promising direct deployment. Start with authorized file exchange. Validate current provider access, usage rights and schema behavior before promising a connector.

We build with our own AI software development factory, so most implementations take days to a few weeks of creation time, not months. You see working software at every step, and exact timing depends on availability.

1. 1

   Scoping call

   Day 1

   Thirty minutes on your process, your data and how you want to run it: for your own team, or for your clients. You get a fixed scope and price for the MVP.

2. 2

   MVP

   7 days

   One buyer segment, one recurring use case; first modules: generate backend code from prompts or specifications; generate REST APIs from prompts or specifications; create database schemas for backend services. Manual review in the loop. Built by our AI software factory.

   Accounts, roles, review states, audit trail and the first integration, hardened for two to three paying pilot customers.

4. 4

   Full product

   3 weeks

   Self-serve onboarding, billing, monitoring and the wider integration set.

5. 5

   Run and improve

   Monthly

   We host, monitor and improve it for a fixed monthly fee, or hand it over to your team. How the retainer works.

Why we start with an MVP

An MVP, or minimum viable product, is the smallest version that your users can actually work with. It is not a cheap version of the full solution. It is a test, built to answer the questions that decide whether the rest is worth building.

1. Pick the riskiest assumption. Here: will product teams and agencies building and maintaining backend services and APIs use it to solve "backend code, schemas, APIs and deployments are spread across separate tools, so teams rent several subscriptions and still hand-carry work between them"?
2. Build only what tests it. One team, one use case, a few core modules. People do the rest by hand for now.
3. Run a paid pilot. Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted pull requests per developer hour and rework after merge.
4. Measure, then decide. Track accepted pull requests per developer hour and rework after merge; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase. Then expand, change course or stop, with evidence instead of opinions.

MVP scope for this solution. Pilot scope: One supported stack and database set; security review, data migration and production release remain engineering decisions. Implement one approved input format, a bounded representative case set and the first three task modules: generate backend code from prompts or specifications; generate REST APIs from prompts or specifications; create database schemas for backend services. Support the remaining modules with operator review: run cross-stack AI agents over frontend, backend, microservices, infrastructure, data and tests; write changes into pull requests for standard review. Include source references, corrections, basic organization access, approval states, export and value measurement. Use managed operator assistance for unresolved exceptions. The cost estimate covers this narrow prototype, not unrestricted multi-tenant scale, complex production integrations, specialist certification or physical operations.

After the MVP. Once paid pilots prove usefulness, automate repeatable reviewed steps and add one verified source integration. Expand supported stacks, databases and case volume only after new evaluation cases pass. Build reusable customer configurations and recurring value reports around reviewed backend code, REST APIs, database schemas and deployment changes linked to pull requests. Retain the explicit scope boundary: One supported stack and database set; security review, data migration and production release remain engineering decisions.

What the build depends on. Repository access and preview, asynchronous generation jobs, editable version history, reviewer access and tested export formats. High-fidelity production requires specialist engineering QA. Obtain representative authorized cases, baseline measurements, qualified reviewers and a buyer-side decision owner. Specific limitation: One supported stack and database set; security review, data migration and production release remain engineering decisions.

A planning range to start the conversation, not a quote. You pay per phase, so you can stop after the MVP.

Running costs per month

A rough indication of monthly hosting and AI model costs once it is live, not tested. Real costs depend on usage, file sizes and the models chosen.

Your brand, or this one

Run it under your own brand, or start from this concept style.

Selling it to your own clients: the go-to-market playbook

Pricing to test

Test a USD 300-1,500 fixed pilot for one defined backend package. Offer a monthly production allowance after repeat demand. Quote complex migrations, security work or specialist integrations separately. These are test prices, not market benchmarks. Package the initial sale as one bounded reviewed backend change set. Recurring fees must specify volume, review depth and integration support. For exchanges, test a disclosed coordination or successful-service fee rather than holding customer funds. Reprice only after measuring real delivery labor; platform-build cost is separate from a commercial pilot fee.

Message to test

Reduce tool sprawl and handoffs while keeping the codebase and data under the team's control. Demonstrate a concrete reviewed backend change set using the buyer's approved example and show the baseline, corrections and actual delivery effort.

Where to find buyers

Product teams and agencies building and maintaining backend services and APIs professional communities; specialist consultants serving this buyer; permissioned partner introductions; practical demonstrations at relevant trade or practitioner events.

Lead magnet

A reviewed sample backend change set from a small authorized input set, with a transparent calculation of accepted pull requests per developer hour and rework after merge and no promised savings.

The first 30 days

1. Week 1: interview five product teams and agencies building and maintaining backend services and APIs and inspect a recent example of backend code, schemas, APIs and deployments spread across separate tools.
2. Week 2: prepare a consented or synthetic demonstration of the task modules.
3. Week 3: seek one bounded paid pilot with agreed baseline and acceptance criteria.
4. Week 4: measure accepted pull requests per developer hour and rework after merge, reviewer effort and repeat-purchase interest. This is a demand-validation plan, not a thirty-day full-product delivery promise.

Paid pilot

Agree quality and outcome thresholds before the pilot using this measure: Accepted pull requests per developer hour and rework after merge. Continue only if the buyer accepts the actual output, the intended job outcome improves without unacceptable errors, and measured delivery cost fits willingness to pay. Revise or stop if access is unavailable, qualified review cannot be provided, or apparent savings disappear after corrections and support. Use held-out cases when comparing model quality; use a properly reviewed comparison design before making causal claims. Record missing cases and negative results alongside successful outputs.

Success metrics

Accepted pull requests per developer hour and rework after merge; accepted-output rate; material error rate; reviewer correction time; actual repeat purchase.

Retention and expansion

Repeat the workflow when the buyer again needs reviewed backend code, REST APIs, database schemas and deployment changes linked to pull requests. Retain permissioned settings and reviewed examples, report realized value honestly, and sell increased volume or adjacent approved workflows only after contribution margin and quality remain acceptable.

Why clients would pick it

A reusable library of approved templates, stack constraints and review examples, together with reliable delivery for a narrow engineering niche. Build a permissioned library of representative task cases, reviewer corrections and verified operating constraints for product teams and agencies building and maintaining backend services and APIs. Repeatable delivery and useful integrations matter more than access to a base model.

Alternatives and positioning

BackAnt, Jovu by Amplication, ob1 by Outerbase and Staff.rip, plus hand-written code and generic generation tools. Compare this product with the buyer's present method on accepted pull requests per developer hour and rework after merge. Offer a bounded paid workflow instead of claiming broad autonomous expertise. Market uniqueness and competitor coverage are not verified.

Main delivery costs

Generation attempts, compute and storage, reviewer hours, client revision rounds and licensed source assets. Additional initial validation requires representative authorized sample preparation, buyer interviews, buyer-side evaluation and bounded validation of reviewed backend code, REST APIs, database schemas and deployment changes linked to pull requests. Track cost per accepted output, including correction work, unsuccessful cases and support.

Preserve code ownership, source attribution, license compliance and usage permissions. Engineering owners approve substantive changes and production scope. One supported stack and database set; security review, data migration and production release remain engineering decisions. Keep all consequential actions under authorized human control and do not fabricate missing inputs, permissions, professional judgments or market evidence.
