Software and AI engineering studio

Turn your AI-built prototype into a product that holds up.

We take prototypes built with AI tools to production, build custom software and AI features, and make them findable in Google and AI answers. You work with the engineers in your own repository, and every milestone ends with software you can run.

  • You own the code from the first commit
  • An engineer replies within 24 hours

  • TypeScript
  • React
  • Next.js
  • Node.js
  • Python

Prototype to production

From a demo that works to a product you can sell

AI tools build good first drafts. What they leave out only shows once customers log in with their own data and the usage bill arrives. We close those gaps and keep what your users already rely on. If a rebuild would cost less than a fix, we say so before any work starts.

  • Works in the demo: Login works, but data access is not checked per customer

    Ready for real customers: Access rules tested on every table and endpoint

  • Works in the demo: Keys and config that can leak, with spend that has no ceiling

    Ready for real customers: Secrets on the server, spend capped, alerts on usage spikes

  • Works in the demo: Agents and developers working straight on production

    Ready for real customers: Separate dev and production, backups, reviewed deploys

  • Works in the demo: Code no one on the team can safely change

    Ready for real customers: Consistent structure, tests that guard behaviour, docs

  1. Review

    We read the code, run it, and check what a demo never tests: data access, keys, spend and how changes reach production.

  2. Stabilise

    Version control, CI, staging and backups, so changes stop going straight to production.

  3. Harden

    Access rules, managed secrets, spend limits, logging and evals, added without rewriting what already works.

  4. Hand over

    Documentation and a walkthrough, so your team (or ours) can keep shipping with confidence.

Services

What we build

Five services, one engineering team. Start with the one that fits today. The others are there as the product grows.

  1. 01AI MVP Studio

    Take an AI-built prototype to production, or launch a new MVP

    AI-built prototypes prove an idea fast. We make them ready for real customers without losing the features your users already rely on.

    • A fixed-fee review with a ranked fix list
    • Fixes shipped without rewriting what works
    • New MVPs built production-ready from the first commit
    See how we take prototypes to production
  2. 02Software Engineering

    Custom software your team can own and extend

    Web applications, APIs and backends built by senior engineers in your repository from the first commit, with tests, staging and monitoring in scope, not sold as extras.

    • SaaS products, customer portals and internal tools
    • APIs and integrations with the systems you already run
    • Re-architecture for platforms that have stopped scaling
    See how we build custom software
  3. 03AI Solutions

    AI features that reach production and stay there

    We add assistants, document processing and workflow automation to the systems you already run. Every model call is logged, tested against real examples and held under a spend limit.

    • Assistants and search grounded in your own documents
    • Document and workflow automation with a person in the loop
    • Evaluations, logging and cost caps on every model call
    See how we build AI features
  4. 04Staff Augmentation

    Senior engineers who join your team and ship

    You interview the engineers who will do the work. They join your standups, your repository and your reviews, and own features from design to deploy.

    • Full-stack, backend, cloud and AI engineers
    • You meet the engineers before anything is signed
    • One engineer, or a small squad that owns a product area
    See how staff augmentation works
  5. 05SEO & AI Search

    Technical SEO and AI search optimisation (AEO)

    We make your site crawlable, indexed and quotable for Google and the AI answer engines your buyers research in, then measure how often you are mentioned and cited.

    • Crawl, rendering and indexation across Google, Bing, Brave and AI crawlers
    • Content built to be quoted: specific, sourced, single-topic pages
    • Mention and citation rates tracked across a fixed set of buyer questions

Case studies

Work we have shipped

Six projects we can publish. We work with companies in any industry: access rules, scale, integrations and messy documents look much the same everywhere. Client names are withheld.

AI Solutions

AI assistant for finance workflows

We built an internal assistant that summarises, classifies and routes incoming financial documents for analysts to check. Time per document fell from 15 minutes to under 2.

How we work

What you can hold us to

Buyers worry about the same things with any outside team: who owns the code, who does the work, and what you get for the money. These are our answers.

  1. Your repository, your accounts

    Work happens in your GitHub and your cloud from the first commit. If we stopped tomorrow, you would already hold everything.

  2. You talk to engineers

    The first call is with an engineer, not a sales rep, and you meet the engineers who will do the work before anything is signed.

  3. Deliverables named before work starts

    Each engagement lists what you will receive and what it costs, in writing, before any build work begins.

  4. Working software at every milestone

    Every build milestone ends with something running that you can use. A status report is not a deliverable.

  5. We say when not to hire us

    If a rebuild is cheaper than a fix, or an off-the-shelf tool does the job, that is what we will tell you.

FAQs

Questions buyers ask before they get in touch

Not answered here? Email service@spheretech.dev and an engineer will reply.

What does Sphere Techlabs do?

Sphere Techlabs is a software and AI engineering studio. We take prototypes built with AI tools to production, build custom web applications and APIs, add AI features such as assistants and document automation, embed senior engineers in client teams, and run technical SEO and AI search optimisation.

Who do you work with?

Companies of any size, in any industry, that need software or AI built properly. That includes founders with an AI-built prototype and their first paying customers, product and engineering leaders at growing companies, and operations teams with manual work to automate. Our published case studies come from SaaS, logistics, financial services, insurance and healthcare, but none of the work is specific to those sectors.

How does an engagement start?

An engagement with Sphere Techlabs starts with a message, then a call with an engineer. For existing code we start with a fixed-fee review. For new work we start with a short discovery. Either way you receive a written scope with named deliverables and a price before any build work begins.

Who owns the code?

Clients of Sphere Techlabs own their code from the first commit. The work lives in your repository and your cloud accounts, so there is nothing to hand over at the end and nothing that locks you in to us.

How much does a project cost?

The cost of a project depends on scope, so we do not publish a single number. Reviews are a fixed fee, and builds are quoted as a fixed scope once we have seen the code or the brief. You get the price in writing before work starts.

How long does a project take?

The six projects in our case studies took two to five months each. You get a timeline in writing together with the scope, before work starts.

Do you use AI tools to write code?

Yes. Our engineers use AI coding tools for exploration, refactoring, tests and documentation. Every change is still read and reviewed by an engineer before it is merged, and the checks we run on client prototypes (data access, secrets, environments) apply to our own work too.

Can you work with our existing team?

Yes. Our engineers can join your standups, repository and code reviews through staff augmentation, or take a defined piece of work and hand it back with documentation.

Contact

Tell us what you have built, or what you need built

We will tell you what is likely to break, what to fix first, and what it would take to get to production. If we are not the right team, we will say so.

What happens next

  1. An engineer reads your message and replies within 24 hours.
  2. A call to understand what you have and what you need. No slide deck.
  3. After a review or discovery, a written scope with named deliverables and a price.
