🧩 The Last-Mile Secret: Flipping the Switch on Your AI Project

You've built something magical.

An AI prototype that responds, adapts, and even wows in a demo.

But... it's not live.

Welcome to the last mile problem β€” where vibe-coded brilliance sits on your laptop instead of the internet.


🚧 What Is the Last Mile?

The "last mile" is a term borrowed from logistics and telecom. It's the final stretch that connects your product to the user.

In vibe coding, it's what stands between a functional prototype in Replit, Cursor, or Claude β€” and a real, hosted, user-facing product.

It includes:

  • Setting up databases
  • Handling auth
  • Connecting payments
  • Deploying to production
  • Making sure it doesn't break at scale

In other words: the boring stuff that makes your product real.


βš™οΈ Why It's the Hardest Part

AI-first developers move fast. They get into flow, jam with the model, build magic in a few hours…

But the moment it's time to launch β€” everything slows down.

  • Deploying? Ugh.
  • DevOps? What's that?
  • App store policies? Who reads those?

You're not alone. Most prototypes never leave the lab.


πŸš€ Flip the Switch with LaunchDev

That's where we come in.

LaunchDev is your AI prototype's launch crew.
We specialize in flipping the switch from demo to production β€” quickly, cleanly, and without killing the vibe.

Whether you built it in:

  • Cursor
  • Replit
  • Claude
  • V0.dev
  • Lovable
  • or even Google Sheets…

We'll take what's working and make it work in the real world.


πŸ”‘ Our Process (The Last Mile Framework)

  1. Polish the UX β€” Clean visuals, sharp flows
  2. Fortify the Code β€” Edge cases, fallback states, error handling
  3. Prep for Scale β€” Hosting, logging, and user traffic
  4. Go Live β€” Deploy with confidence

🏁 TL;DR

  • The "last mile" is the hardest part of vibe coding.
  • LaunchDev exists to close that gap β€” fast.
  • You build the magic. We flip the switch.
