Hal9 helps non-technical founders launch AI-powered products in 30 days without expensive teams or endless AI prompts. Instead of vibe-coding alone with robots, talk to our AI experts who scope your vision, refine ideas, guide AI agents to build secure scalable MVPs on our platform. It's the most competitive way to ship AI MVPs: experts guide (don't code from scratch), AI handles the heavy lifting, predictable pricing, no lock-in, full customization. Focus on growth while we handle the tech.
Congrats on the launch 🙌🏻 Super interesting approach. Curious to know: at what point do founders usually hit the biggest blocker, ideation, scoping, or actually shipping the MVP with AI agents?

@thomaxx0 very smart question! It's really all of them. We've helped them on each stage of the process. HOWEVER, if you ask founders, no one thinks they need help on ideation or scope, everything thinks that they just need a little bit of help to "finish" the MVP. Unfortunately, that's usually the tip of the iceberg. There are cases where we do help them finish the MVP, but in most cases, we work with them to understand why the MVP is not getting finished. Could be multiple issues: Scope creep, tech not viable, incorrect tech, right problem but wrong solution, solution too complex, and on and on. So while many would think they just need to "finish" their MVP, once they work with us they usually find ways to do it all over in a much smarter and targeted way that starts getting them customers faster. You want something simple that can get you your first customers, nothing else matters.

Hal9 looks amazing! Im really digging the promise of rapid AI product development. How well does it handle integration with existing legacy systems? Super curious!

@jaydev13 Integration with third parties is supported and encouraged since the Hal9 platform generates and runs Python code. There are so many great Python libraries to integrate with third party and also legacy systems that is hard to think of a system that is not accessible through Python code and our platform.
I have tried no-code tools and also talked to a few agencies before. Both paths got confusing fast. Either things didn’t work the way I needed or the plan kept changing. What I like about this is having real people help shape the product while AI does most of the building. That easier than trying to do everything alone or handing it off without much control.

@johan_nystrom yes! Many founders come to us cause they are tired to talking to robots / AIs. Eventually, vibe-coding becomes like calling a support line with an automated system that never gets your problem resolved; when you work with us, you'll have the best of both words: automated AI platforms and AI experts that can meet with you.
Too many AI tools let you play around, but it’s hard to actually finish anything. What I like about Hal9 is the clear goal of getting a real product out in a set time. Having experts guide the work while AI does the building feels like a better path than staying stuck trying things forever.

@henrik_falk the Hal9 team will get you stuck, that's definitely one of the perks. We've learned that is so much more effective to prompt AI to build products when experts know the technology and can craft the prompts appropriately.
Building with AI alone can feel confusing after a point. You can get some things working but then you hit a wall and don’t know what to do next. The idea of having real experts guide the process while AI handles the building more reassuring. That kind of support makes it easier to move forward instead of guessing your way through everything.

@hannah_krause1 yes, building with AI alone is pretty challenging, TBH. Is so much better to have experts on your side, like Hal9.

@natalie_brooks security is indeed very important at Hal9, so you can leverage all our learnings, expertise and proven platform to de-risk security concerns when you start building from scratch.
For founders who already have an idea but aren’t sure it’s the right idea yet, how much does Hal9 challenge or push back during the process? If an idea isn’t strong, risky or realistic to ship in 30 days do your experts help reshape it early or do you focus more on execution once the direction is set?
