AI-Native Products
We build your product with autonomous agents, or put them in your team. They work with your tools and your quality gates: a product owner shapes a feature with the Product and Design Agents, a senior engineer reviews the pull request the Coding Agent opens.
In 90+ tech due diligences, the pattern is the same: AI made individual developers faster, and nothing changed about how work gets specified, reviewed and shipped.
A spec that only exists in someone's head makes agents write the wrong thing, faster.
Everyone prompts their own way. No shared skills or conventions, so nothing compounds and agents have nothing to stand on.
Product truth sits in Notion pages, Slack threads and two people. Agents cannot read any of it.
AI MVPs ship in weeks, then stall: no tests, no architecture, nobody who understands the code.
Every company calls itself AI-native. Most mean their developers have Copilot or Claude Code open. AI-enabled is your team working with AI. AI-native is the system doing the work autonomously, which is the difference between a few percent faster and a multiple.
Most teams cannot say which, with evidence. Eight questions put a level on both axes, how you build and what you sell, and name the single change that moves you up. The answer appears on the page: no email, no call, no follow-up unless you ask for one.
It's one factory either way: the same agents, the same product brain, the same engineering discipline. The only question is whether we run it for you, or hand you the keys.
We design the architecture, set up the factory and ship your full product with agents, under senior engineering. You get production software, plus the code, the agents and the product brain.
Fixed price for the first phase, then per milestone.
Build my product →The same factory, connected to your repo, Linear, Slack, even Telegram. Your team gives the agents work the way they already talk to each other, and reviews what comes back.
Assessment €4–6K, credited against the 8-week Sprint it scopes and prices. Then €2–5K a month to keep the factory running.
Make my team AI-native →Turns ideas into tickets with acceptance criteria and test steps.
Takes the Product agent's output - a feature with its acceptance criteria - and builds an interactive prototype from your design system. You click it before anyone writes code.
Picks up “ready” tickets and opens a pull request for review.
Your way in and out of the product brain: it asks you to approve what goes in, and it answers your questions about what the product already knows.
Architecture, business logic, security and the final merge stay human. Everywhere else the agents move without waiting for anyone. Misapplied autonomy is what kills these projects, so the guardrails are real engineering: test-driven development, architecture decision records, CI/CD and review by senior engineers. Everything lives in your repo, runs on your own AI subscription, and stays yours if we leave.
Discovery, architecture and ADRs, factory set up. Fixed price, 2–4 weeks.
Agents plus senior engineers ship the product, milestone by milestone.
The code, the agents and the product brain become yours.
Codebase and workflow audit, AI maturity score, agent roadmap. 1 week.
The Harness, then one agent a week, each owned by a Champion on your side, then the Product Brain. 8 weeks.
Factory subscription and a Fractional Head of AI. Monthly.
Most tech partners are either operators who've never invested, or investors who haven't built in years. We sit at the intersection.
We built and sold two companies, then spent years assessing other people's for the investors about to buy them. That is why clients trust the architecture and the safeguards.
We've run 90+ tech due diligences for investors. We know what fails in production because we've seen it 90 times.
Over 60 products shipped and two companies sold. We use these agents ourselves, today, on real client work.
TDD, architecture decision records, CI/CD and senior code review. Agent speed without the production debt.
At handover you own the code, the agents and the product brain. Keep shipping without us, or have us run it.
I worked closely with Above The Clouds' team of full stack architects and developers for 5 years on client projects from 2013 to 2018. Our main projects included Groovy Music, a children's music learning and creativity app, and the MusicFirst Application Cloud, a user authentication and management system that became a central hub for many of the client's apps - still accessed every day by thousands of educational users.
The team at Above The Clouds are excellent communicators. They quickly understand client needs and create clear, meaningful development pathways that give all stakeholders visibility into deliverables, timeframes, and costs. They have the rare ability to prototype UI in real time while also thinking deeply about the technical challenges required to make features stable and scalable in production environments. Over the years working together, Above The Clouds developed a broad expertise in large-scale systems - both from an organisational perspective and through refining the development methodologies needed to build robust yet flexible, scalable platforms.
I wholeheartedly recommend Above The Clouds and look forward to the opportunity to collaborate with them again.
We hired Above The Clouds to organise multiple workshops for our tech and product team, such as product vision & strategy and technical analysis of product & methodologies. Their work was meticulous, they took the time to analyze thoroughly rather than jumping straight to solutions, ensuring a solid understanding of the project before making recommendations. Their approach was neutral and non-prescriptive, allowing the company to step back and reflect without being forced into predefined solutions.
I really appreciated their positive and understanding attitude, their ability to act as a mediator, and their support in high-level reflections such as aligning vision, business, and strategy. Their technical expertise was consistently praised, even beyond what was directly applied during the workshops.
We had the pleasure of working with Above The Clouds during a technical due diligence process for a startup we were considering re-investing in. Their expertise truly stood out. The team delivered a thorough analysis, pinpointing critical aspects that required our attention, and provided actionable insights. The report was incredibly detailed yet remained concrete and easy to understand, which made decision-making much more straightforward. They worked highly autonomously throughout the process, respecting our timeline and ensuring everything was completed on schedule.
Above The Clouds' ability to combine technical depth with practical recommendations is exceptional. I highly recommend their services for anyone in need of reliable and insightful IT due diligence.
