FAQ
Questions founders ask about AI MVPs.
How much does an AI MVP cost?
Most AI MVPs cost $25,000–$60,000 depending on platforms and AI complexity. A 2-week discovery sprint gives you a fixed estimate.
Can you really launch in 8 weeks?
Yes, with a focused scope: one core AI flow, the must-have features and one or two platforms. We agree on scope in discovery and demo progress weekly.
What if the AI doesn’t work well enough?
We test the AI on real data in the first two weeks. If accuracy or costs don’t work, you know before paying for the full build.
Will I own the code?
Yes. You own all code, designs and IP from day one.
Can you help with fundraising?
We prepare a polished demo, metrics from beta users and a technical roadmap investors ask for.
What is an AI MVP?
An AI MVP is the smallest version of an AI product that real users can try — one core AI flow, a simple app around it and analytics. It proves the idea with real data before you invest in a full product.
