How It Works

The Process

How It Works

From choosing a VPS to shipping your first project — here’s exactly what happens.

What You Get

When you work with us, you don’t just get an AI agent installed. You get a hardened, repeatable development environment on your own VPS, a documented workflow for building projects, and direct guidance from someone who has set this up before — so you skip the trial-and-error.

Step 1: VPS Selection

If you already have a VPS, great. If not, we’ll help you pick. Any clean Ubuntu 22.04/24.04 image works — DigitalOcean, Vultr, Hostinger, or Hetzner. A basic plan (2 GB RAM, 2 vCPU, 50 GB SSD) is enough for most projects — typically ~$10-12/month (~₹8,000-10,000/year).

Step 2: Security Baseline

We lock down your VPS before anything else runs on it:

  • SSH key-only authentication (password login disabled)
  • UFW firewall (SSH, HTTP, HTTPS only)
  • Automatic security updates enabled
  • Fail2ban for brute force protection
  • System audit logging

Step 3: Workflow Installation

Next, we set up the AI developer agent workflow on your VPS:

  • Runtime environment (Node.js, Python, or as needed)
  • Project repo initialized with clear directory structure
  • Environment variables and secrets management
  • Repeatable workflow: spec → task generation → code → test → deploy
  • Staging and production deployment approach
  • Basic monitoring and logging
  • Handover documentation

Step 4: Build with Support

Once the agent is running, you’re in the driver’s seat. You describe what you want built, the agent generates code, and we guide you through:

  • Writing good specs that produce useful output
  • Reviewing generated code for correctness and security
  • Debugging when something doesn’t work
  • Deploying to production when ready

Support is delivered through structured calls and checkpoints — not an open chat where you’re left guessing.

Limitations & Realistic Expectations

The AI developer agent is a powerful tool, but it’s not magic. Here’s what to keep in mind:

  • The agent works best on well-defined, scoped tasks. Vague requests produce unusable output.
  • You need to review generated code — especially before deploying to production.
  • Complex integrations (multi-service, custom APIs) may require additional guidance or a done-for-you approach.
  • The agent isn’t a replacement for a senior engineer on large, complex platforms. It’s a force multiplier for focused builds.
