Sample FDE day: a developer from the agency fixes a problem in your code, and the fix ships the same afternoon. Names and values are fictional.
01The problem
Hiring an AI developer takes time, and the feature has to ship before that. A classic freelancer delivers a ticket and leaves. You need someone who works with your team, reads your code and puts it in production.

03Method
We talk about your product, your team and what needs to ship.
We send you the goals for the first 4 weeks and the number of days per week, in writing.
Access to the repo, Slack and your tools. We aim to merge a first PR in week one.
A written update with the merged PRs and what comes next. We adjust the pace if needed.
04Definition
A 2 to 4 person startup that has to ship an AI feature before its next round and has no time to hire. Or an agency that signed an AI project and has nobody to build it.
There's no 24/7 on-call and no SOC 2 certification. If your project needs either, we'll tell you on the first call.

06Questions
A freelancer usually delivers a project defined up front. As an FDE, our lead engineer works inside your team on whatever matters most right now, joins your stand-ups and ships every week.
It takes one to two weeks to really learn your codebase and your team. Below four weeks, you'd mostly be paying for that ramp-up.
No. Three days a week is our maximum per client, so every engagement gets the same quality of work.
Remote by default. If your team is in Bordeaux, we can come to your office.
The AI Sprint delivers one defined workflow at a fixed price in two weeks. The FDE fits when your backlog keeps changing and you need someone inside the team for several weeks.
