A senior studio for founders who need to ship
BuildAID is a fixed-price MVP studio. We pair AI-assisted workflows with senior engineers to take a product from idea to production in weeks, at a price agreed before we start, with full code ownership handed to you at the end.
Who's behind BuildAID
BuildAID is a QuartzDevs company. QuartzDevs provides dedicated teams of senior software engineers from Hungary and Romania, and its engineers are trusted by enterprise and growth-stage teams including Volvo, GoStudent, and Save the Children.
BuildAID applies that same senior talent to a different problem: not staff augmentation for existing engineering teams, but complete, owned products for founders who don't have a team yet. Same bar for quality, packaged as a fixed-price build.
The team
Kristóf Kovács-Egri
Founder · CEO & Senior Software Engineer
Senior software engineer building products for global companies, and founder of both QuartzDevs and BuildAID. He leads BuildAID's engagements and keeps a senior engineer accountable for every build.
Every BuildAID project is delivered by senior full-stack engineers drawn from the QuartzDevs team, with a senior engineer owning and reviewing everything that ships.
Why the studio exists
Most founders choose between three bad options. We built BuildAID to be the fourth.
Slow agencies
Months of discovery, layers of account management, and a bill that grows with every change request.
Risky freelancers
Cheaper, but you carry the risk: no review, no accountability, and a codebase that may not survive the first hire.
No-code dead ends
Fast to start, but you hit a ceiling the moment you need something the platform wasn't built for.
The fourth option: BuildAID
Agency-grade engineering, indie speed, and founder-friendly terms. A fixed price agreed upfront, production-ready code in weeks, and 100% ownership when we're done.
How the AI-assisted model works
AI doesn't replace senior engineers. It makes them faster. The speed is real; the accountability is human.
- AI-assisted workflows compress weeks of engineering into days.
- Senior engineers own architecture and review every line before it ships.
- AI output never reaches production or a customer unchecked.
- You get weekly demos of working software, not a surprise at the end.
