About Scubyt

We're builders,
not vendors.

Most outsourcing feels like a black box. You send a spec, you get back code, you hope it works.

We built Scubyt to be different — direct access to senior engineers, daily progress, no contracts you'll regret in 6 months.

  • Direct access to engineers, not account managers
  • Daily progress, not monthly status decks
  • Start with a pilot, not a contract
  • You own all code, IP, and the relationship

Frequently asked

Questions founders ask us

Click to expand. If we missed yours, email us at saif@scubyt.com.

Are your engineers really senior?
Yes. We don't hire juniors. Average engineer has 5–10+ years of experience and has shipped real production AI systems. Several have worked at companies you've heard of. You'll meet your actual engineer on the discovery call — not a sales account manager.
How does the 2-week pilot work?
After your free AI audit, we scope a small, defined pilot project (typically $2,500–$4,000). We build it in 2 weeks with daily progress updates. At the end, you evaluate the quality, the communication, and the fit. If you're not satisfied, you don't pay the second milestone. Simple.
What if I'm not satisfied with the work?
100% money-back guarantee on the pilot. If the work doesn't meet expectations in the first 2 weeks, you don't pay the second milestone — no questions, no negotiation. We earn our way into longer engagements one milestone at a time.
Who owns the code we build?
You do. 100%. From day one, all code, IP, infrastructure, and any models we fine-tune are yours. We deliver it in your GitHub or hand it over however you prefer.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. After the pilot, all engagements are month-to-month. No long-term contracts, no cancellation fees. We earn the renewal every month by being good to work with.
How do you handle timezone differences?
Our engineers work in YOUR timezone — at least a 4–6 hour overlap with your business day. Daily standups, same Slack channel as your team, async-friendly documentation. It feels like in-house, not like a vendor.
What if I don't know exactly what AI feature I want?
That's what the free AI Audit is for. In 30 minutes, we map 2–3 specific AI opportunities for your business, with rough cost and timeline for each. You leave with a clear plan — even if you decide not to work with us.
What about data privacy and security?
We sign NDAs upfront. All work happens in your infrastructure (your cloud, your GitHub, your tools). We don't train models on your data. We follow standard security practices: encrypted communications, access controls, no data exfiltration.
