a real developer

Our agent drafts your product overnight. By morning, a vetted engineer has read every line, hardened the rough edges, and deployed it to production with their name on the release.

method

The method, in three steps
and nothing more.

Most "AI builders" stop at the demo. We don't. The agent does the first 80%, and a human engineer is responsible for the last 20% — which, as everyone knows, is where the other 80% of the work hides.

step // 01~ 30 min

Chat with a senior dev.

No prompt-engineering skill required. You talk to a real human engineer like you'd brief a co-founder — voice note, sketch, or a paragraph. They translate it into a plan the agent can build.

actor— you + engineer
step // 02~ 1 night

The agent builds it.

A coding agent scaffolds the repo, writes schema, auth, pages, and tests. By the next morning, you can open your app at a preview link and click through every screen.

actor— agent
step // 03~ 1 day

A real developer ships it.

A senior engineer reviews every commit, fixes what the agent got confidently wrong, owns the architecture, and signs the release.

Notes from founders
who shipped with GAQ.

A few short reports from the field. Real customers, real builds, light editing.

// berlin · 02 mayseries a

>The agent built it on Monday. By Wednesday a human had ripped out the parts that didn't make sense, hardened the rest, and shipped. We had paying customers by Friday.

>I've used three other AI builders. They all give you a demo. GAQ gives you a thing on the internet that doesn't fall over when a real human uses it. That's the entire difference.

>What I didn't expect was that I'd want to keep them on. The engineer who shipped my MVP is the same engineer on call when Stripe webhooks misbehave at 3am. That continuity is rare.

faq

Frequently asked.
Plainly answered.

A short interview transcript with the questions we hear before every project.

In conversationQ. = founder
A. = gaq engineer
recorded // may 2026
edited for length, not for clarity.
Q.
Who actually owns the code?
A.

You do, from the first commit. The repo lives on your GitHub, the deploy lives in your cloud. We can host it on our infra for convenience, but you can pull the keys at any moment and walk.

Q.
What happens when the agent gets it wrong?
A.

That's the entire point of the human step. The engineer reads every diff, pushes back on confidently-wrong code, rewrites what needs rewriting, and won't merge until the build is something they'd be willing to put on their CV.

Q.
Can I hire my own team and take over?
A.

Yes — we plan for it. Architecture decisions are made with handoff in mind, the docs are kept honest, and we'll pair with your new hires for a month before stepping back. No lock-in, no proprietary runtime.

Q.
Is this faster than a freelancer?
A.

Roughly five to ten times. The agent removes the boilerplate hours; the human keeps the part that matters. A typical MVP that costs $30k and three months elsewhere ships in two weeks here.

Q.
What about security and SOC 2?
A.

Studio-tier projects get a security review on every release and a SOC 2 prep track. Starter and MVP projects ship with sensible defaults — signed migrations, secret scanning, dependency audits, audit log.
