What is product engineering with AI?

Product engineering with AI means AI agents do much of the hands-on building while senior engineers own the architecture, key decisions, and security, reviewing every change before it ships. It combines the speed of AI with the judgment of an experienced team. Setubo's agents are designed and tuned in-house, and a first version typically launches in 4–8 weeks on a fixed quote.

    Sandboxed AI harness; auth, data, and payments reviewed before launch.

    Errors and downtime reported the moment they happen.

  • Your repo, your cloud

    Code and infrastructure in your accounts from day one.

  • Weekly demos

    Working software to review every week, not slide decks.

WordPress security SaaS · Web, mobile & WordPress plugin

Agencies and site owners juggling many WordPress sites needed one place to catch security threats, malware, and downtime, and to respond from their phone instead of logging into each site.

Launched as an MVP in 10 weeks, then grew into a four-product WordPress security platform across web, mobile, and WordPress.

FAQ

Product engineering questions, answered.

Product Engineering with AI

You do. Once invoices are paid, the code, designs, and all intellectual property are yours. Everything lives in your repository and your cloud accounts from day one.

Two senior engineers and a senior QA engineer direct AI agents designed and tuned in-house, which carry out much of the coding, testing, and documentation. The engineers set the architecture, make the decisions, and review every change, and QA tests the product end to end, so you get speed without cutting corners. A tightly agreed scope does the rest.

Scope, price, and launch date are agreed in writing before we start. If we miss the agreed date, the extra time is on us.

Yes. We start with a code and security review, tell you plainly what's solid and what isn't, then fix, harden, and continue building it.

Yes. Ask on your intro call, and we'll sign one before you share any details.

Thirty days of support are included. After that you can keep a dedicated engineer at $1,600 a month, book hours on demand at $15 an hour, or take the product in-house with our handover documentation.

Setubo is headquartered in Texas, and our engineering center is in Lahore, Pakistan. You work directly with the senior engineers building your product.
