A prototype that demoed well and broke under real users
The challenge. A founding team had a compelling AI prototype built in a no-code AI tool. It won meetings and fell apart the moment real users and real data arrived: no evals, secrets in the client, no way to change a prompt without breaking three others.
What we did. We rebuilt it as a production system — proper architecture, an evaluation harness around the core AI behavior, guardrails and auth, and observability into every model call — without losing the momentum the prototype had created.
Outcome
- Production codebase the team owns, with CI and evals
- Prompt and model changes shippable with confidence
- Ready to onboard real customers safely
- prototype-to-production
- evals
- reliability
