Jules + MVP / Prototype

Built a mvp / prototype with Jules?
We'll make it production-ready.

You built a prototype with an AI tool and it works — on your machine, with your test data, for the happy path. Now you need real users to validate your idea. The goal isn't perfection — it's getting to a state where real people can use it safely and reliably. That means fixing the critical gaps without over-engineering.

MVP / Prototype challenges in Jules apps

Building a mvp / prototype with Jules is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.

Identifying what actually needs fixing

Not everything needs to be production-grade for an MVP. The challenge is knowing which shortcuts are acceptable (visual polish, advanced features) and which aren't (security, data loss, broken core flows). Our audit prioritizes fixes by impact.

Security minimum

Even an MVP handles user data. You need authentication that works, data isolated per user, no exposed secrets, and HTTPS. You don't need enterprise-grade security, but you need the basics done right.

Deployment

Your app runs locally but deploying it involves environment variables, domain configuration, SSL, and build optimization. First-time deployment is where most AI prototypes hit unexpected issues.

Error handling

When something goes wrong (and it will), your users should see a helpful message — not a white screen or a raw error. Basic error handling is the difference between 'this app is buggy' and 'something went wrong, please try again.'

Core flow reliability

Your main user flow (signup → core action → outcome) must work every time. Edge cases in secondary flows can wait, but the core path needs to be solid for your MVP to generate valid learnings.

What we check in your Jules mvp / prototype

Core user flow — does signup to core action work reliably?
Authentication — secure login, session handling, password reset
Data security — user data isolation, no exposed secrets
Deployment readiness — env vars, build configuration, domain setup
Error handling — graceful failures on the core path
Mobile experience — does the core flow work on mobile?
Performance — does the app load in under 3 seconds?

Common Jules issues we fix

Beyond mvp / prototype-specific issues, these are Jules patterns we commonly fix.

highBugs

PRs may conflict with concurrent team changes

Jules works asynchronously on tasks that may take hours. While it's working, your team continues committing. The resulting PR can conflict with merged changes in ways that are complex to resolve.

highSecurity

Security-sensitive PRs need careful human review

Jules implements security fixes and auth changes autonomously. Without careful review, a PR that looks correct can introduce subtle security regressions in adjacent code paths.

mediumCode Quality

Jules may not understand implicit project conventions

Jules reads your codebase but can miss undocumented team conventions — naming patterns, error handling styles, and architectural decisions that aren't expressed in code.

mediumBugs

Async PR scope may be too narrow or too broad

Jules interprets task descriptions literally. A fix for one bug may miss related bugs in the same module, or conversely, a feature request may result in sweeping changes you didn't intend.

Frequently asked questions

Can I build a mvp / prototype with Jules?

Jules is a great starting point for a mvp / prototype. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but mvp / prototype apps have specific requirements — identifying what actually needs fixing and security minimum — that need professional attention before launch.

What issues does Jules leave in mvp / prototype apps?

Common issues include: prs may conflict with concurrent team changes, security-sensitive prs need careful human review, jules may not understand implicit project conventions. For a mvp / prototype specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for identifying what actually needs fixing.

How do I make my Jules mvp / prototype production-ready?

Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Jules-built mvp / prototype apps, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.

How much does it cost to fix a Jules-built mvp / prototype?

Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger mvp / prototype projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
