Stacklink ® / Engineering for AI-native software Est. MMXXII

Services

Engineering, design, and judgement — under one roof.

We sell a method, not a menu. Discovery, architecture, build, and operate — handled by the same people, end to end. Most engagements look like the four phases below.

  • Fixed scope by default
  • Framework-agnostic
  • AI-native focus

Engagement

Four phases. No surprises.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    1–2 weeks

    We listen, sketch, and pressure-test the idea. You leave with a written scope, a cost ceiling, and a yes/no decision — not a deck.

    • → Written scope
    • → Architecture sketch
    • → Fixed-price proposal
  2. 02

    Architecture

    2–3 weeks

    We design the data model, the model boundary, and the interface together. Decisions get written down so the next person can read them.

    • → Data model
    • → API surface
    • → Design references
  3. 03

    Build

    4–12 weeks

    Iterative weekly drops, deployed somewhere you can use. No staging-only theatre — real users on real data as soon as it's safe.

    • → Weekly demo
    • → Working app
    • → Test coverage
  4. 04

    Operate

    Ongoing

    We hand over the code with an operations doc and stay reachable. Optional retainer for the first three months while you hire.

    • → Runbook
    • → Handover doc
    • → Light retainer

Two ways to start

Pick the shape that fits the work.

01

Build

AI-native SaaS, from zero to v1

Greenfield products where AI is the core, not a sticker. We design the data flow, the model boundary, and the interface together — then engineer them as one product, with one team owning the whole result.

Fit
Founders moving from validated idea to a v1 in production.
Not for
Teams who want a body shop or pure resale of headcount.

02

Integrate & advise

AI integrations and architecture inside existing products

Slot retrieval, agents, structured outputs, evaluation, and cost controls into a codebase your team already owns. Optionally combined with senior advisory time for the people on your side.

Fit
Engineering teams shipping their first or second AI feature.
Not for
Single-prompt wrapper work — that is a weekend, not a project.

Tools

We're framework-agnostic — these are what we reach for most.

Languages
TypeScript, Python, Go, Swift
Models & infra
Anthropic, OpenAI, Vercel AI SDK, Modal, pgvector
Web
React, Next.js, Astro, Tailwind, shadcn
Data
Postgres, Redis, Cloudflare D1, S3, DuckDB
Cloud
AWS, Cloudflare, Vercel, Fly.io

If your team already runs Rails, Django, .NET, or a private cloud — we'll meet your stack instead of moving you to ours.
