Your startup dream,
started in 4 hours

Yes. With AI, the cost of writing code has dropped so much that building an MVP first and refining it in use beats perfecting a spec up front. Features are prioritized and built in stages, and if you know your own business, that is the plan — no separate product planner needed.

Unlike traditional outsourcing, there's no per-change quote. Because we bill by build complexity and difficulty, you don't have to lock the scope in advance — request and change as much as the time allows, and a reference screenshot is usually all we need to build the screen you want.

We only work with a standard written contract. It explicitly covers copyright and source-code transfer, acceptance criteria and review period, the scope of free defect repairs, and the change-request process. Under court precedent, copyright stays with the developer unless the contract says otherwise — wherever you commission work, check for that clause. We include it up front.

Development is followed by an annual maintenance contract. Change requests and questions are handled against a time balance, we hand over documentation when the contract ends, and if you hire a developer we'll walk them through the code.

Defect repair means fixing, free of charge, anything that was contracted to work but doesn't — provided for 6 months after delivery. New features and improvements are maintenance (paid), with scope, response time, and cost defined in writing before we proceed. Keeping the two separate in the contract is what prevents disputes later.

Yes. If you'd like, we set up an AI coding environment (Claude Code) on your machine and train you to use it. No need to study code — copy and screen tweaks can be done with prompts, and anything you get stuck on we sort out together in a session.

Yes. As a Toss Payments partner we help you apply with the sign-up fee waived, and we implement both one-time and subscription payments. We build against test keys first — swap in your keys and real payments go live.

We build so that a server costing a few dollars a month handles tens of thousands of users. Because we use a proven full-stack framework instead of stacks whose bills explode with usage, you simply upgrade the server step by step as you grow.

Yes. We prepare the paperwork such programs require — outsourcing contracts, development plans, and completion reports. With extensive experience both judging and delivering government-funded projects, we work to each agency's requirements. We also issue the full set of settlement documents — statements of work, photo-documented inspection reports, and tax invoices — and handle prior-approval and multiple-quote procedures for larger contracts.

Yes. We support outbound API calls, webhooks fired on events, and connecting your own engine (Python or otherwise) as a separate API server. We can also build a public API with an OpenAPI schema so AI agents like Custom GPT Actions can call your service.

The initial version is stored in dedicated storage on servers we operate in Korea. When you move to production, we migrate the database and file storage to cloud infrastructure you own (e.g. AWS Seoul region).

Yes. The app is designed as a multi-tenant system where every query is scoped to the signed-in account's company, blocking cross-company access at the code level. If you need a physically separate database or server, we can set that up as a dedicated build.

Yes. Deleting removes both the database record and the actual file in storage immediately. Backup retention and disposal policies are designed around your privacy requirements.

The service has no screens for browsing client data, and server access is used only for operations such as incident response. Once you migrate to infrastructure you own, your data is entirely under your control.

Sensitive values such as API keys and passwords are managed with encrypted configuration files (Rails encrypted credentials), with the decryption key stored separately. Nothing is stored in plain text in the database or source code.

Yes. The domain is registered under your name, and the database, file storage, and backups are all migrated to your own accounts. Test accounts and demo data are cleaned up at handover.

Absolutely! Many non-developers inquire about creating services using AI and no-code tools.

You can consult on IT startups, MVP development, AI usage, vibe coding, freelance/agency operations, marketing, and more.

If you request a refund within the first 30 minutes of your session, we'll fully refund you. After that 30-minute window, refunds aren't available.

Sessions run online via Google Meet. Once payment goes through, your confirmation email includes the Meet link. You can share your screen and walk through actual code, designs, or business materials together.

Nothing is required, but if you jot down the problem you want to solve, your questions, and your current situation, we can dive much deeper within the limited time. Feel free to share repo links, planning docs, or links to competing products in advance.

You can reschedule up to 24 hours before the session — contact support and we'll move you to another available slot. No-shows or cancellations within 24 hours may not be eligible for a refund.

Anything you share during a session — business ideas, code, planning materials — is never shared externally. If you need a separate NDA signed, just request it ahead of time.

Short follow-up questions by email (james@heyjames.ai) are welcome and answered as time allows. For deeper follow-ups, please book another consulting slot. Repeat clients often opt for the 10-session sprint package.

Yes — group consulting for startup teams, agencies, and in-house dev teams runs on a custom quote. Reach out via support with your team size, topic, and preferred schedule and we'll put together a plan.

Yes! Many clients have paid using grants from programs such as the Youth Startup Academy, Pre-Startup Package, Early-Stage Startup Package, Social Enterprise Support, and the Re-Challenge Package.
