Help with your build
You are building it. We help you get unstuck.
You want to keep building it yourself. You just need an experienced developer for a few hours to look at the problem, answer the question or check the plan.
The problem
Founders, designers and small in-house teams can get a long way on their own. Then they hit one problem — a deployment that will not work, an auth decision, a database design question — and lose a week to it.
We work alongside you rather than taking over. That might be a pairing session, a written code review or a second opinion on an architecture decision. If you would rather hand over a stalled AI-built app entirely, see AI build rescue.
Sound familiar?
- You have been stuck on the same bug or deployment error for days.
- You want a code review before you launch or hire.
- You are choosing between two approaches and want a second opinion.
- Your in-house team needs help with one unfamiliar part of the stack.
- A designer building in code needs a developer to check the result.
What you get
- A live pairing session over video, or written help, whichever suits the problem
- A code review with specific, prioritised comments in your repository
- An architecture second opinion with a clear recommendation
- Deployment and environment help to get it running in production
- A short summary of what was done and what to do next
What this isn’t
- Taking over and finishing the build (see AI build rescue or Custom web apps)
- Ongoing mentoring with no defined scope
- Doing coursework or assessments
Price
Pairing sessions and code reviews from $300. Most help jobs land between $300 and $1,500.

Technologies
How the job runs
- 01
Describe what is stuck
Answer a few questions in the scoping agent. It takes about three minutes and turns your answers into a plain-English brief.
- 02
Get a straight answer
Within one business day, a developer replies with a fixed price, a paid diagnostic, one question, or an honest “not us” and a referral.
- 03
We fix it
Work starts when you approve. You get the fix, a short note on what changed and the access handed back.
Scoping agent
Tell us what’s stuck.
Two minutes of guided questions. You get a plain-English brief, and a developer replies within one business day.
- Guided questions, not an AI chatbot
- A person reviews every brief
- Never asks for passwords or keys
No account. No sales script. Never asks for passwords or keys.
Questions
How is this different from AI build rescue?
Here you keep building and we help. AI build rescue is for when you want us to take over a stalled AI-built app and get it finished.
Can I book just one session?
Yes. Tell us the problem first so the session is spent fixing it, not discovering it.
Do you need access to my code?
For reviews, yes — add us as a repository collaborator and remove access afterwards. For pairing, you can share your screen.
