AI MVP design for startups that want to be remembered
First-version design for AI products — the interface for something that thinks, waits, and is sometimes wrong.
When you need this
- You have a model and a demo, and need a product people can use.
- Your chat interface works but doesn't feel trustworthy.
- You're racing a batch deadline and can't hire in time.
What's included
- Core loop design: input, waiting state, output, correction
- Trust patterns: sources, confidence, undo, human handoff
- Onboarding that gets to the first good result in one session
- A light design system that survives fast iteration
- Prototype for user testing and investor demos
How it runs
Fixed scope, fixed price, paid in milestones. Weekly cycles: you see real work in week one and every week after. A daily async update and one live review a week in your time zone. The people on the first call do the work.
Pricing
AI MVP design engagements run $15,000–$40,000. Across all services our average engagement is around $20,000. How we price →
Questions
What's different about designing for AI?
Three things: showing uncertainty honestly, designing the waiting state (streaming, progress, partial results), and making output editable. 61% of YC 2026 homepages lead with 'AI'; the product experience is where you differentiate.
How long does an AI MVP take to design?
Four to eight weeks. We design the loop first and the edges second.
What does it cost?
$15,000–$40,000. Simple assistants sit at the low end; multi-step agent products with review flows at the high end.
Do you understand the technical constraints?
We prototype with real model output, not lorem ipsum, and design for latency and failure cases from the start.
Can you work with an existing chat UI?
Yes. Most engagements start from a working demo.
Do you design the marketing site too?
As a second phase, or in parallel for launch timelines.
Do you work with YC companies?
YC-backed teams are one of the segments we serve; we'll list them here as we ship.
What do engineers get?
Figma with states, tokens, component specs, and written interaction rules for streaming, errors and retries.
Do you do user testing?
Yes, lightweight sessions with your target users during the engagement.
Where are you based?
Bangalore, India, working with teams in the US, Europe and Australia.
