Your app is stuck in demo mode. We're the engineers who get it launched
Whatever's broken, we fix. Whatever's missing, we build. Then we launch it. One flat price, no hourly billing, no surprise invoices.

The demo was the easy part
AI gets you a demo fast. Getting it in front of real users takes the parts it skips. We handle every one of them.
Real authentication
Logins that hold up: password resets, sessions, roles, and no user ever seeing another user's data.
Payments that settle
Checkout, subscriptions, webhooks, and refunds that work every time, not just in the demo.
Security
Keys out of the browser, database rules switched on, and the holes AI tools leave behind closed.
A database that holds up
A schema that survives real users, with backups and migrations, so your data doesn't vanish.
Deploys that don't break everything
Separate staging and production, so shipping a fix never takes the whole app down.
Someone watching it
Error tracking and monitoring, so you hear about problems before your users do.
Missing a feature? We build that too
Finish & Ship isn't just fixes. If there's a feature you had in mind that never got built, or one the AI kept breaking, we build it and launch it with everything else. Same scope, same flat price.
- The feature you had in mind from day one
- Admin dashboards and internal tools
- Emails, notifications, and reminders
- Team accounts, invites, and permissions
- Integrations with Stripe, calendars, and CRMs
- AI features like chat, search, and summaries
Engineers who've taken startups from pre-seed to Series A
We're Automata, a software engineering firm in Boston. Our engineers build production software for venture-backed startups, and they've led engineering from pre-seed all the way to a $25 million Series A.

Teams we've gotten unstuck
> client quote
“Marc designed and shipped our prediction market, from the first screens to launch day. He made the product calls with us, not just the code, and he got it over the line.”
Pete Harrigan
Founder, Outcome Trading
> client quote
“We'd been stuck for over a month. Ralph and his team got us unblocked. I'd recommend them to anyone who needs experienced engineers who can jump in and solve tough problems.”
Chris Davis
Founder & CEO, Fortivus Pro
> client quote
“We built our AI sales pipeline in-house and couldn't get it over the line. Automata fixed what was broken and got it shipped.”

$10,000 isn't cheap. It's efficient
Agencies charge more because you pay for their overhead: sales teams, project managers, and juniors learning on your app. We cut the overhead, never the quality.
Two senior engineers, no layers
You work with the two founders who write the code, from the first call to launch day. No account managers, no juniors, no turnover.
Shipping since before AI
We were building production software for startups long before AI could write a line of it. We know what breaks, and how to fix it fast.
AI as autocomplete, not autopilot
We use the most advanced AI models to write code faster, the way senior engineers should. Every decision and every line still goes through one of us.
A workflow built for this
Our own process for taking AI-built apps live: audit, scope, fix, build, harden, launch. It gets sharper with every app, so nothing is reinvented on yours.
Senior work, a written scope, and a live app in 30 days, for less than one month of a senior engineer's salary.
From stuck to live in 30 days
- Day 0
Launch call
Show us your app and where it's stuck. We map out exactly what it takes to get it live.
- Before day 1
Discovery
One week mapping every page and user flow with you, for $1,000. It ends in a written scope: exactly what ships, and by when. You approve it, pay $4,500, and the clock starts.
- Days 1 to 25
Fix, build, and harden
We fix what's broken, build what's missing, and make it production ready. You get an update every week.
- By day 30
Launch
We deploy to production, hand everything over, and walk you through it. The last $4,500 is due on delivery.
We ship what we agreed on, or you get your money back
No vague “satisfaction” promise. The guarantee is tied to a written scope we both sign before work starts, so you know exactly what you're getting and when.
The terms, in writing
- 01
The scope is agreed in writing before any work starts. It defines what we deliver.
- 02
The 30-day clock starts once the scope is approved and we have access to your code and accounts.
- 03
Want to add something mid-build? We agree it in writing first, so nothing changes without your OK.
- 04
If we don't ship what the scope says, by the date it says, you get your money back.
$10,000 flat. Live in 30 days
We take the app you already built, fix what's broken, build what's missing, and launch it. $1,000 for discovery, $4,500 when you approve the scope, $4,500 on delivery.
Money back if we don't deliver. Tied to the written scope, so the promise is specific.
No hourly billing. One flat price, no surprise invoices.
Senior engineers only. The engineers on your first call are the ones who ship it.
You own everything. The code, the accounts, and the infrastructure.
Two minutes of questions, then pick a time.
One flat price, whatever's broken or missing
Logins that fail, payments that don't settle, a database that won't hold, the feature you never got to. We've handled all of it before. You pay $10,000 and get a live app, or your money back.
Before you book
Is it really $10,000 flat?
Yes. One price to fix it, build what's missing, and launch it. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices, and no add-ons to get it live.
What if my app is a mess?
That's exactly what we're for. Apps built fast with AI break in the same places: logins, payments, data, and deploys. We've fixed every one of them, and we'll fix yours.
Will you rebuild my app from scratch?
No. We keep what works, fix what doesn't, and finish what's missing. If a part needs rewriting, we rewrite it, at the same flat price.
Can you add features my app doesn't have yet?
Yes. If there's a feature you had in mind that never got built, we build it as part of the same scope, for the same flat price.
What does money back mean, exactly?
If we don't ship what the written scope says, in the 30 days it says, you get your money back. That's why the scope is written and agreed first: it's the promise. The refund covers both build payments, $9,000. Discovery is paid for on its own, and the scope it produces is yours to keep.
What do you need from me?
Access to your code and accounts (hosting, database, payments), a walkthrough of what the app should do, and quick answers when we have questions.
How does payment work?
A flat $10,000, in three payments: $1,000 for discovery after your launch call, $4,500 when you approve the written scope, and the last $4,500 once everything in it is delivered. Pay each one by bank transfer or card. No hourly billing, no surprise invoices.
Do I own the code?
Yes. The code, the accounts, and the infrastructure are yours. No lock-in, and a handoff walkthrough at launch.
Will you work on my app?
Yes. We finish web and mobile apps built with Lovable, Bolt, Base44, Replit, Cursor, v0, Claude Code, and similar tools, on the stacks they produce: React, Next.js, Supabase, Firebase, Node, and more.
You built it. Let's get it live
Book a call, show us your app, and we'll map out your launch. $10,000 flat, live in 30 days, or your money back.
