Vibe Coding for Enterprise: Professional AI-Built Tools

The fastest way is to apply. The scoping call takes 30 minutes, and we’ll be direct about whether Forge is the right fit. Generally, if you’re a large enterprise or PE-backed company with multiple departments building their own tools (or wishing they could), you’re in the right zone. If you’re a small startup looking for a cheap MVP, we’re probably not your team.

Yes. While professional services firms are where the vibe coding problem hits hardest, the pattern doesn’t care about industry. If you’re a large enterprise with real operational needs and a team that’s already experimenting with AI-built tools like Cursor, Lovable, or Replit, Gnar Forge can help.

You can. And your team probably already is. The question is whether the result will still be working in six months, whether it integrates with your existing systems properly, and whether anyone thought about what happens when three departments depend on an app that one person built as a side project. If those questions don’t concern you, DIY is fine. If they do, that’s why Gnar Forge exists.

Vibe coding yourself means you get a working prototype fast. Hiring a vibe coding agency like Gnar Forge means you get a working product fast. The difference is everything that happens after the demo: security, scalability, error handling, integrations with your existing systems, and a plan for what happens when something breaks. A prototype impresses your team. A product serves your business.

A freelancer builds what you ask for. We challenge what you’re asking for before we build it. The product thinking, the scope discipline, and the long-term maintenance plan are what separate a tool that lasts from one that gets abandoned in 90 days. Plus, we back everything with three guarantees that no freelancer can match.

Internal tools, operational workflows, approval systems, reporting dashboards, data integrations, client portals, and custom process automation. If it’s a focused application that solves a specific business problem, it probably fits. We’ll tell you on the first call if it doesn’t.

Gnar Forge projects range from $15K to $30K. Engagements are fixed price and result in a working application. That includes product guidance, the complete build, deployment, and a month of maintenance to make sure everything is running clean. After that, ongoing maintenance starts at $1,000 per month. You get hosting, monitoring, support, and a standing relationship with the person who built your app. Compare that to the cost of your $180K-per-year director spending a month on something that ends up in the trash. Or the operations lead who spent six weeks in Lovable before realizing the app couldn’t handle their actual workflow. Or the PE portfolio company that let three departments build their own tools in Cursor, only to discover none of them talk to each other and nobody can maintain any of them. $15K to $30K gets you a finished product. Guaranteed to work. Guaranteed on price. Warranted for 12 months.

Good news. We do that too. Our Build engagements handle larger builds at $150K and up, with the same triple guarantee. Gnar Forge is designed for smaller, focused projects. But if we scope your project and realize it needs more, we’ll be upfront about it and offer you the right engagement model.

Yes. This is one of the most common ways Forge engagements start. Someone on your team built something in Cursor or Lovable, it’s now in production, and it’s breaking, slow, insecure, or impossible to update. We assess what’s there, determine whether to fix it or rebuild it (rebuilding is often faster and cheaper), and deliver a production-grade version with a 12-month bug-free warranty. If your company is sitting on AI-generated code that nobody knows how to maintain, that’s exactly what Gnar Forge is built for.

Most Gnar Forge engagements fall between $15K and $30K, whether building from scratch or rebuilding something that was vibe coded and broke. The Shape phase in Week 1 determines the real scope. Either way, you’ll know the fixed price before the project starts, and that price is guaranteed.

It’s our proprietary methodology for AI-assisted software delivery. Instead of letting AI tools generate code unsupervised, our senior engineers direct every decision with deep product context, architectural judgment, and a decade of experience shipping production software. The AI handles the volume. Our people handle the thinking. That’s why we can deliver in weeks what used to take months, without sacrificing quality.
