AI product engineering for non-technical founders

Turn a validated AI product idea into a build you can understand and trust. We start with a paid Tech Audit or Discovery Sprint before you make a larger commitment.

Audience fit

Is this you?

A quick fit check before either side spends time on a call.

Who this is for

  • CEOs / founders without a technical background
  • Domain experts (clinicians, finance pros, marketers) building AI products
  • Pre-seed to seed companies with a validated idea but no technical co-founder
  • Founders who've tried no-code and hit walls
  • Founders who got burned by a previous developer

Who this isn’t for

  • Companies with strong in-house engineering; a different engagement pattern fits better
  • Pure idea-stage companies with no product validation; we recommend a product strategy advisor first
  • Companies choosing on price alone; our model prioritises clear scope and senior delivery

You decide the product. We decide the tech, and explain every decision in plain language.

Engagements

What we typically do for non-technical founders

Start with the smallest engagement that resolves the next engineering decision.

01

Tech Audit

$499. Vet us, assess a previous build, or get a clear technical baseline before a larger commitment.

02

Discovery Sprint

Scoping a build before you commit to a full project. We pin down architecture, scope, and a realistic plan.

03

Project Build

After Discovery, move into a defined-scope build with a fixed-price quote and a clear route to production.

04

Project Rescue

Recovering from a failed previous developer. We map what exists and get you back on track.

Starting point

Where most non-technical founders start

A note before we build

Start with a Tech Audit

For most non-technical founders, a Tech Audit is the lowest-risk starting point. $499, it gives you a clear way to evaluate us before a larger commitment. If you have no code yet, a Discovery Sprint scopes the build first.

A note from the founder

From the founder

I started Robust Devs in 2019 after watching too many good products die between agencies. The pattern was always the same: big promises in the sales call, silence by week six. We built this firm to be the opposite of that. A small senior team, honest scope, and the uncomfortable truth delivered early.

If you are building in marketing, healthtech, or fintech, tell me what you are working on. If we are not the right team for it, I will say so on the first call and point you somewhere better.
