How human and AI work together
The question of how we split time between human developers and AI is the right thing to be asking at this stage. The core philosophy in our team is that AI generates, humans curate – every line of code is reviewed, refined, and owned by experienced engineers. This is the most AI-literate and augmented team available and only because of that we are able to provide a working product within 12 weeks and a commercially viable product in 24.
