AI in practice

“AI-native” is a claim.
Here is what it actually means on our teams.

Every agency says it now. Ask the next one what changes in their pull request template. Here is ours - you can audit all four in your own repository.

No client code touches a consumer AI account. We run approved models under enterprise agreements with training opt-out, inside your repository and your policies. Audited under ISO 27001:2022.
01

Specs before prompts

Every ticket starts with a written spec and acceptance criteria. AI accelerates a decision that a human already made - it never gets to make the decision.

02

AI drafts, engineers own the merge

Generated code is a first draft, reviewed line by line by the engineer whose name goes on the commit. No “the model wrote it” in a post-mortem.

03

Tests generated, then hardened

We use AI to widen coverage fast, then a QA engineer prunes the noise. Coverage numbers mean nothing if the assertions are decorative.

04

Your IP stays yours

All work-for-hire, assigned to you on delivery. Model usage is logged, scoped per project, and disclosed in writing before we start.

Testimonials

We stopped counting engagements.
Our clients didn’t stop renewing.

Every quote below is from a verified review. None of them were written by us.

“They don’t just build what you ask for. They think about the end result, and then go beyond it.”

James Fitzgerald
Chief Technology Officer

“On time. Every time. And when I had questions, any questions, they were answered in full.”

Margo Flanagan
Director, Two Raw Sisters

“Quality engineers - what made the difference was the culture fit. They worked like they were part of our team from day one.”

Why Vietnam with InApps

No surprises.
Just engineers who show up.

Senior only

No juniors billed as mid-levels. You interview and approve every engineer before they join your team - and you can say no.

AI in the loop

An AI-assisted workflow we can demonstrate in your repository, with review gates you set. Not a slide in the pitch deck.

Your working hours

Ho Chi Minh City gives Sydney a full shared day, London a four-hour overlap, and US teams a real handover window.

Built to stay

85%+ of engagements run multi-year. We optimise for the third year of a relationship, not the first invoice.

Or hand us the whole thing.

Four ways to work with us. Move between them as your roadmap changes - we have never charged anyone to switch.

Need a squad that owns a product area end to end?

Dedicated Team

A cross-functional pod - engineers, QA, a tech lead - dedicated to your roadmap and nobody else’s. You set priorities in your own planning tool; we run delivery and report against it.

Fixed monthly cost per engineer, no hidden bench fees
Tech lead included from day one
Scale the pod up or down with 30 days’ notice

Need two more senior engineers by next sprint?

Staff Augmentation

Engineers who join your team, your standups and your repository - reporting to your engineering manager, following your process. On the org chart they look exactly like everyone else.

Getting started

From first call to shipping code.
Six weeks, not six months.

01
Day 1–5

We map what you actually need

A 30-minute call, then a written role map: seniority, stack, team shape, timeline and a cost range. No deck, no discovery invoice.

02
Week 1–3

You approve every hire

We shortlist from our bench and our network, you interview. Nobody joins your team without your yes - and “no” costs you nothing.

03
Week 4–6

Your team ships

Onboarding into your repo, your tools and your rituals. First pull requests inside the first fortnight, then a delivery cadence you can plan around.

Common questions

Straight answers.
Before you have to ask.

Still deciding?

Send us the role you can’t fill and we’ll tell you honestly whether we’re the right partner for it - including when we’re not.

Book a Free Call
How fast can a team actually start?
For roles on our bench, first interviews happen within a week and engineers start in three to four weeks. For unusual stacks or niche domain experience, budget six to eight. We will tell you which one you are on the first call rather than after you sign.
How do time zones work in practice?
Ho Chi Minh City is UTC+7. Sydney and Singapore get a nearly full shared working day. London overlaps four to five hours every afternoon. US teams get a structured handover window - our teams shift start times to cover it, and the shift is agreed with the engineer, not imposed on them.
Who owns the IP and the code?
You do, without exception. All work is work-for-hire assigned to you on delivery, written into the MSA before anyone writes a line of code. Everything lives in your repository, on your accounts, from day one. We are ISO 27001:2022 certified and will sign your NDA and your DPA.
How do you vet engineers?
A technical screen, a practical exercise in the stack you actually use, and an English communication check - then you interview them yourself. Nobody joins your team without your approval, and turning down a candidate costs you nothing and delays nothing you have paid for.
What does it cost?
A flat monthly rate per engineer, quoted by seniority and stack, with no recruitment fee, no bench charge and no per-hour surprises. You get a written range on the first call. Rates typically land well under US and Western European contractor pricing for equivalent seniority - we will show you the comparison rather than claim it.
What if it isn’t working out?
Tell us early. We will replace the engineer at our cost, or you can end the engagement with 30 days’ notice - no exit fee and no minimum term beyond that. A partner that traps you is a partner that has stopped earning the work.
