Speed is crucial in AI product development. The landscape changes rapidly, and getting to market quickly can make the difference between success and obsolescence.

Week 1: Discovery & Planning

We spend the first week deeply understanding the problem space, defining success metrics, and creating a technical architecture that can scale.

Week 2-3: Core Development

This is where the magic happens. We build the core AI functionality, integrate it with a minimal but polished interface, and ensure everything works reliably.

Week 4: Testing & Launch Prep

The final week focuses on user testing, performance optimization, and preparing for launch. We also set up analytics to measure success.

Our Tech Stack

  • Frontend: Next.js with TypeScript for rapid development
  • Backend: Node.js with serverless functions for scalability
  • AI/ML: OpenAI API, Anthropic Claude, or custom models as needed
  • Database: Supabase or Neon for quick setup and scaling

The key is having a proven process and the right tools to execute quickly without sacrificing quality.
