Scope and Plan
We start with what you need, not what sounds impressive. Requirements, architecture decisions, and a delivery plan. All agreed before any code gets written.
Your dev team,
Friedbot Studio works with startups and organizations as a design and development partner. You bring the product vision. We handle architecture and engineering. You stay focused on the product.
What We Build
Custom software development, from first commit to production.
Custom Software
You have a product idea or an internal system that needs building. We take it from requirements to deployed code. Scoped, designed, and shipped on a timeline you can plan around.
Web Applications
Customer-facing platforms, dashboards, admin tools, portals. Responsive, fast, built on modern frameworks. We handle frontend and backend, all the way through deployment.
SaaS Platforms
Multi-tenant architecture, billing integration, user management, API layers. We've built our own SaaS products, so we know what it takes to ship one that holds up at scale.
APIs and Integrations
Connect your systems, expose your data, or build for third-party developers. RESTful APIs, webhooks, and integrations with the tools your team already uses.
How We Work
The same process on every project.
AI-native means AI is part of the daily loop: writing code, running tests, and reviewing changes. The engineering steps around it stay in place. We enforce them with hooks and checks that run automatically, so following the process does not depend on anyone remembering to.
Build with AI-Native Practices
AI is part of how we work every day: writing code, running tests, reviewing PRs. We built Baseline to keep that disciplined, and we run every project through it. Faster iteration without skipping the engineering steps that keep software reliable.
Ship and Support
Working software, deployed and tested. We hand off clean codebases with documentation, or we stay on for ongoing development. Either way, you own everything we build.
How We Engage
What we commit to.
These are the terms we work on. Most of them are set by how we work rather than by any one project, so they do not change much from one engagement to the next. We publish them here so you can tell early whether we are a fit.
There is no day rate here. What a project costs depends on its scope and how long it runs, so we give you a number after the first call, once we know what you are building.
- Minimum engagement
- Six weeks
- Time to kickoff
- Two weeks from signed
- Team
- One senior engineer, scaling to two or three
- Contract
- Monthly, two weeks' notice
Proof
What we have delivered.
We also build and run our own software. Baseline is our open-source workflow for building with AI, released under Apache 2.0. PhantomFlow is a video generation API, currently in public waitlist. Baseline's code is public, so you can read how we work before you talk to us.

Who It's For
A good fit looks like this.
We work best with people who know what they want to build but need the engineering team to make it happen.
Launching a new product
You have the idea and need a team to build the first version.
Evolving an existing product
Your product needs new features, or a full rebuild with modern tech.
Scaling faster
Your in-house team is stretched and you need to move faster than headcount allows.
Looking for a real partner
You want a technical team that pushes back when something doesn't make sense.
Quality over speed alone
You care about code quality, not just getting to launch day.
Building with AI in mind
You want AI woven into how the work gets done, not bolted on after. We build that way by default.
