What had to be solved first
Handoff AI needed to reduce setup complexity while shipping solo MVP delivery in a reliable way suitable for a solo-led product.
How the team executed
Started from ShipAI.today defaults for auth, billing, and deployment-ready architecture.
Scoped the first release around one core flow: solo MVP delivery.
Used a steady release cadence with clear boundaries across UI, API routes, and data model changes.
What changed after launch
“I validated the idea before bringing in any contractors. The baseline quality made early customer calls much easier.”
