Last Mile Labs: from prototype to product, for serious vibe coders
You built it with AI. Now cross the line to a real product.
Prompting got you a working app. Paying customers need more: data that stays private, changes that do not break things, and a product that survives its first success. This is for founders and makers who are serious about quality and about getting to market.
Works with whatever you build with: Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Copilot.
You built it with an AI builder or coding agent, and it works.
Real users are next, or already here, and their data matters.
You want both: the speed you have now and the control a business needs.
Where is the project today?
Cross the line one practice at a time.Required items first, quickest wins on top. Tick what you have; the rest is your plan.It looks easy now. The valley is still there.AI made the first demo quick. Real users, real data and real money still ask for real engineering.Know where you stand in two minutes.Ten questions that find the gaps attackers and outages find first.AI writes the code. You own the consequences.Real incidents, real numbers, and what skipping the basics would cost you.
Keep what is yours. Automate the rest.Who should carry each practice, and when to bring in help.Free tiers get you started. Know when they stop.Your team, your usage, your stage: what the tools really cost each month.
Describe your team and usage. Each need starts on the service suggested for your stage and moves to the paid tier as soon as you outgrow the free one. Change any row to compare, or ask for the cheapest service that fits.
Will the cash last?
Most products die in the months between launch and enough revenue. Add your own figures; the tools above are counted for you.
Quality is what investors and customers buy.The questions due diligence asks, and the numbers that show you are ready.Everything you need to work like a product team.Whichever builder or AI agent you use, the habits and the checks are the same.
