AI engineering guides for founders
Opinionated, step-by-step guides for founders shipping real AI products in 2026. Every guide is based on something we have actually built (or helped a client ship) in the last 12 months. Concrete stacks, honest timelines, the anti-patterns that blow your schedule, and the scope guards that save it.

How to Ship an AI MVP in 2 Weeks
A day-by-day playbook for shipping a production AI MVP in 14 days: scope, stack picks, anti-patterns, real costs, and when 2 weeks is not enough.
More guides coming soon. We publish a new one when we finish a client build that produces a pattern worth sharing.
Want us to ship yours?
We take 5 audits a month for founders building their first AI system. If the scope is tight and the success metric is clear, we can usually ship in 10 to 14 working days. Book a 30-minute call to see if we are a fit.
