Asyncdot is an AI-Native Software Studio for non-technical founders and agencies. Same senior engineers, redesigned operating system. 4-hour design-build-review cycles. Line-by-line senior review on every change. Fixed quotes from $1,500 to $25,000. Named engineers, kickoff to launch.
What you actually pick between when the MVP has to ship. Numbers are real, not aspirational.

What you get, three ways: a working product to click through every Friday, one path built well instead of five half-built, and bugs caught before your customer finds them. The mechanism is that we treat AI as a substrate, not autocomplete, which is why the work that used to take a sprint takes an afternoon.
Working product on Friday. Every Friday. You stop guessing whether your build is on track because you click through it the same week you brief it. 4-hour cycles, not 2-week sprints.
You pay for one path built well, not five half-built. The senior engineer picks the one you need at the spec stage and kills the ninety-nine you don't, before any of them get billed.
Bugs caught before your customer finds them. Every line reviewed by a senior engineer before it ships. You launch production-grade, not "we will fix it in the next sprint."
No sprint planning. No standups. No PM layer between you and the engineer writing the code. You describe what you need (or paste the failed-vendor build you cannot un-spend on). The senior engineer who reads your message commits the change.
An MVP, a mobile app, a new feature, an AI agent, an internal tool. Or the failed build that has been "almost done" for nine weeks. Write it like you'd describe it to a senior engineer, or just a rough idea. We clarify on the call.
Takes 5 minutesSenior engineers run the build using our AI-native stack: drafting, reviewing, redirecting, and rejecting in tight loops. The model accelerates the keystrokes. The engineering team owns every line that ships. Tested, deployed, production-grade. Frankfurt-region or US-region deployment, your choice.
Takes days, not weeksDeployed, documented, production-ready. Full source code, complete ownership. NDA day one. White-label by default for agencies. Submit your next request immediately. Build continuously. Meet the senior engineers behind every line.
Unlimited requestsFrontend, backend, AI, infrastructure. The full surface area an integrated team would deliver. One team, one budget, one accountable senior engineer per build.
Full web and mobile applications with auth, billing, dashboards, and APIs. Next.js, React Native, TypeScript, clean architecture. Launch-ready, not just demo-ready.
Avg. 5 daysCustom AI with RAG pipelines, vector stores, guardrails, and monitoring. Tested, deployed, production-grade.
Avg. 48 hoursKill the manual processes draining your time. Custom automations that connect your systems and run on autopilot.
Avg. 3 daysNew features for existing products. Admin panels, dashboards, ops tools. Whatever your business needs to move faster.
OngoingThree failure modes show up after the demo, every time. Senior engineering catches each one at the spec stage. AI accelerates the work; the discipline still ships through people.
Week one feels productive. Week six, nobody can articulate what "done" means. Senior engineers pick the one path you need and kill the others before the rebuild loop starts.
The demo works. Real load breaks login flows, edge cases surface as Saturday-night incidents, and the team realizes they shipped a prototype, not an MVP. We ship for production: error paths, observability, and rollback are part of the spec, not retrofits.
The first 80% takes four weeks. The last 20% takes twelve, because nobody designed for the second iteration. Senior engineering compounds against the same architecture and conventions, so the second pass costs less than the first.
Modern stack, clean architecture, full source code ownership.
Your CTO can inspect, extend, and audit every line.
Start with a single fixed-quote build, or subscribe for ongoing development. No contracts. Pause or cancel anytime.
Idea to deployed product in 4 to 6 weeks. One fixed quote. Auth, billing, dashboards, APIs. Production-grade, not demo-ready.
Unlimited requests, one or two active at a time. Features, tools, and products, shipped every working day. The engineering subscription that compounds against the same architecture.
Reply within 4 hours during your business day. 25-minute intro call. No spec doc, no pitch deck. A rough idea, a failed-vendor codebase, or a missed launch window is enough. We will tell you on the call whether we are the right team. If not, we will name two who might be.
One named senior engineer on your account from kickoff to launch. Engineer continuity is a contract clause, not a hope. If they ever move off, the engagement pauses at no cost to you, and you choose whether to continue. The model that burned you was a ticket farm with a project manager between you and whoever wrote the code. Ours is the engineer in the call, named, with a face. Meet the senior engineers.
We start at $1,500. Five days, fixed scope, written diagnosis of your current build (or your proposed scope) with a fixed quote on either fork: rescue path or rebuild path. If we are not the right team after the audit, you owe nothing more. The audit costs less than one month of a CTO-as-a-service retainer and replaces that line item entirely. What a $5K vs $12K vs $50K MVP actually buys.
Frankfurt-region (AWS eu-central-1) or Stockholm-region (eu-north-1) deployment by default. DPA template in every SOW. Sub-processor list documented. No US-based AI providers without an EU-region endpoint. Two prior GDPR audits with EU clients. We fly to Berlin, Amsterdam, or Stockholm on request to sit on customer calls if your supplier story needs the founder in the room. Read the full EU positioning.
Yes. Most engagements run as overflow capacity, white-label bench for brand and UX agencies, or new product surface area an in-house team cannot get to. NDA day one. Slack channels on your domain. Your client never sees us. Founders without an in-house team use us instead of a months-long technical-cofounder search. you don't need a technical cofounder.
