AI Prototype to Production

Built something with Base44, Lovable or Bolt? We review it, finish it and launch it as a real product. Only have the idea? We start with a mockup.

  • Free review of your AI-built prototype
  • Secure sign-in, Stripe payments, your own domain
  • Your code in your own repository, always
  • Mockups to validate an idea before you spend
Explore prototype to production

MVP and Product Development

From idea to first paying users.

Cloud and DevOps

AWS infrastructure that one person can run.

Mobile and PWA Development

One codebase, every device.

Consulting and Architecture

Senior eyes on your hardest problems.

02 / Start where you are

Built something with AI? Let's make it a product.

More and more people come to us with a prototype from Base44, Lovable, Bolt or ChatGPT and a wall they cannot get past. Others have the idea and nothing else yet. Pick the door that matches where you are. We take it from there.

We use the same AI tools every day to build our own 10+ products. We know exactly what they do well, and where they quietly leave gaps: security, data, payments, deployment.
I have an idea 01

Validate

A clickable mockup worth showing people.

You have an idea and want to test it with customers, partners or investors before spending real money on a build.

  • A clickable mockup of the core screens, on a link you can share
  • A one-page product brief: who it is for, what it does first, what it leaves out
  • An honest feasibility read and a build estimate you can plan around

Typically one to two weeks

Fixed price, agreed before we start

I built a prototype 02

Take over

We pick up where the AI builder stopped.

You built something with Base44, Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit or a chat assistant, and you have hit a wall: logins, payments, data, deployment, or the platform's limits.

  • A free prototype review: what is solid, what is risky, what it would take to launch
  • A written plan with one of three routes: finish on the platform, move the code to a proper stack, or rebuild the core properly
  • The build itself, in weekly increments you can click, with your code in your own repository

Review within two business days, plan within a week

Review is free, build is fixed price or capped

I need it finished and launched 03

Build and run

A real product on your own domain.

You want the whole thing done properly: accounts, payments, admin, hosting, monitoring, and someone to keep it running after launch.

  • A production web application on your domain, with secure sign-in, Stripe payments and the admin tools you need to support users
  • AI features that earn their keep, built the way we build them in our own products
  • Hosting, monitoring, backups and ongoing improvements, for as long as you want us around

First version in weeks, not months, shipped weekly

Fixed price or capped build, then an optional monthly run rate

03 / Our products, our proof

Proof, not promises.

These are not client logos. They are our own products, designed, built and operated by Corvidae end to end. The team that ships these is the team you hire.

Your next launch

Your product could be next.

From the first idea to production, built and run with the same care.

04 / Why Corvidae

What makes us different.

Corvidae Limited is an Auckland, New Zealand software and AI development studio. Every architecture decision below is made by people who also operate production software every day.

Owners, not vendors

We run our own products with real users, real billing and real uptime. Client work gets built the same way: to operate for years, not to hand off and hope.

AI already in production

Vision models reading meal photos, LLMs tailoring CVs, OCR matching receipts to bank transactions. We put AI where it pays for itself, and we have shipped it live, not in demos.

Senior craft, direct line

You work directly with the people writing the code. Architecture, security and cloud operations are handled by the same hands from day one.

05 / Process

From idea to running in production.

01

Discover

A short call and a written scope, estimate and plan within days.

02

Design

Thin-slice UX so we build the right thing first.

03

Build

Weekly, shippable increments you can click.

04

Run

We deploy it, operate it and keep improving it.
