Vibe Coding · AI-Assisted Development

Vibe coding, with engineers in the loop.

Move from idea to working software in days, not months. We pair AI-assisted velocity with senior developers who care about architecture, security, and what happens after launch.

Vibe coding ≠ no-code. Vibe coding ≠ throwaway prompts.

Vibe coding is a delivery model. We use AI tools — code generation, design generation, retrieval, and agentic editors — to compress the time between “idea” and “running software.”

The output is real code, on a real stack, deployed to real infrastructure, that your team can read, extend, and own. Not a no-code platform you rent forever. Not unsupervised AI code shipped straight to production.

A note on what AI actually does

AI accelerates development. It does not replace architecture, QA, security review, or someone who's been on-call. The DEV.co model: AI velocity, plus a senior engineer who's shipped this kind of thing before.

Show, don't tell

AI writes fast. A senior engineer signs off.

This is the whole model in five lines: AI generates, a human reviews for security, tests, and architecture, and only then does it ship.

Every change
AI velocity + human judgment

you own 100% of the result

The mixed reputation of “vibe coding” comes from shipping raw AI output. We don't — review is the product.

What makes DEV.co's vibe coding different.

AI as a force multiplier

We use the modern AI development stack to compress weeks of work into days. Models change every quarter; our toolchain adapts.

Senior engineer in the loop

Every line of AI-generated code passes human review. We catch the hallucinations, the security issues, and the architectural mistakes AI currently makes.

Production guardrails by default

Linting, tests, CI/CD, monitoring, and deployment plumbing ship with every sprint — even the one-week ones.

What we build.

Engagement

Live Vibe Coding Sessions

We pair with you in 2-hour blocks; you watch the build.

Engagement

Fixed-Scope Build Sprints

Defined output, fixed timeline, fixed fee.

Engagement

Code Review & Cleanup

We audit and harden your existing AI-generated code.

From idea to running software in five steps.

01

Kickoff & scope

90-minute working session. Define scope, stack, success criteria. Lock the timeline and fee.

02

Design & architecture

AI-assisted wireframes; senior engineer maps the data model and architecture.

03

Build

Daily working sessions with code review. AI generates, engineers refine and harden. Continuous deploy to staging.

04

Hardening & QA

Tests, error tracking, performance checks, security review, cross-device QA.

05

Launch & handoff

Deploy to your infrastructure. Docs, runbook, credentials. 30-day post-launch support.

Who we build for.

Same model — AI velocity with a senior engineer in the loop — shaped to how your team actually works.

For startups

Get to market before the runway runs out.

Ship an MVP in weeks, put it in front of real users, and iterate on what you learn — without burning months or standing up a full engineering team.

When the idea proves out, the same team scales the build with you on the same codebase.

Build your MVP
For agencies

White-label overflow capacity that actually ships.

Take on more client work without hiring. We plug in as your senior dev bench and deliver under your brand, on your timeline.

Senior-only and review-driven, so the work reflects well on you — not a risk to your reputation.

Partner with us
For internal teams

Clear the backlog without adding headcount.

Augment your team with senior engineers who ship in your stack and cadence, then scale back down when the crunch passes.

Ideal for internal tools, integrations, and the projects that never quite reach the top of the queue.

Augment your team
For non-technical founders

A technical partner who's on your side.

You bring the vision; we handle the engineering and protect you from fragile code, bad architecture calls, and vendor red flags.

Build plus honest guidance — so you never have to take a technical decision on faith.

Get founder support
For marketing teams

Sites and tools at campaign speed.

Fast landing pages, full marketing sites, and custom campaign tooling — on-brand, fast, and editable in your CMS.

Ship the page this week, then optimize on real data instead of waiting on a dev queue.

Build marketing pages
For product teams

Prototype and validate before you commit.

Turn a roadmap bet into a clickable, testable prototype in days, so you learn from users before sinking a quarter into it.

De-risk the feature first, then build it for real with confidence.

Transparent, fixed-scope pricing.

Every sprint is a fixed fee. No hourly billing surprises. Each tier includes design, build, deploy, and handoff.

Common questions.

Is vibe-coded software production-ready?
Yes — when an engineer reviews every output. The mixed reputation comes from teams shipping raw AI-generated code to production. We don't. Every line is reviewed, tests are added, and the build is hardened like any traditional engagement.
How fast can we ship?
Landing page or prototype: 1–2 weeks. MVP with auth, billing, dashboards: 4 weeks. Polished platform: 6–12 weeks. AI does the boilerplate; engineers handle the parts AI gets wrong.
Do I own the code?
Yes, 100%. We deliver a repository you control on day one. No vendor lock-in, no proprietary platform.
Can you hand off to my team?
Yes — handoff is part of the engagement, with docs, a runbook, a code walkthrough, and 30 days of transition support.
How is this different from no-code?
No-code platforms have hard ceilings. Vibe coding produces real code on a real stack — you don't hit a ceiling, and you're not paying a per-seat subscription forever.
How much does a sprint cost?
1-week Spark from $9,500. 2-week Sprint from $24,000. 4-week Foundation from $48,000. All fixed-fee, all-inclusive.
