Your ingenuity is the important part.
Everything else needs to get out of your way.

Most paths from ideas to software feel like this: you know what needs to be built, and you have a good idea how to use AI to help. But actually building working software keeps forcing you into engineering decisions you either do not want or do not know how to make. The tools still expect you to think like an engineer, and when they do not work, they leave you back in the same spot — needing one, without feeling qualified to evaluate, manage, or trust who is actually right to hire.

Your pain is real.

01

Where do I even start?

  • What am I supposed to do first?
  • Every tool assumes I already know how this whole thing works.
  • I'm afraid of making the wrong decision and paying for it later.
  • If this is already painful, the rest is going to be worse.
  • I don't even know what I need to know.
SOLVED
02

I thought AI would get me there.

  • It's exciting to start, but discouraging to never get past a prototype.
  • It's full of bugs. Like, never-ending bugs.
  • It's just AI slop.
  • There's no real testing — and definitely no edge-case testing.
  • I keep getting false hope.
  • I don't trust AI.
SOLVED
03

I can't do this by myself.

  • I need other people to jump in and help me build this.
  • I'm smart, but I'm not the software engineer.
  • This needs to be a team effort, not just me.
SOLVED
04

I don't want to be in meetings that go nowhere.

  • The meetings are a waste of time.
  • We talk a lot, but nothing actually gets built.
  • When there's no engineer in the room, the ideas just stay ideas.
  • I need meetings to move the product forward, not just generate more talk and follow-up.
  • I need someone who can turn what we discuss into real software.
SOLVED
05

I need an engineer. Who do I hire?

  • I don't feel qualified to choose the right engineer.
  • I'm afraid of making an expensive mistake.
  • I need engineering judgment, not just more tools.
  • I need someone I can trust to turn this into real software.
  • I don't want the whole project to stall at hiring.
SOLVED

Questions founders actually ask

Real questions from people building with AI, answered by the Drytis team.

What is Drytis? +
Drytis is a platform that combines AI coding with real engineers. You build with AI, and when it hits its limit, a human engineer steps in to finish the job.
What is Studio? +
Studio is your $25/month subscription to the Drytis platform. It gives you access to the DIY AI coding workspace, starter credits, and the ability to switch to other build modes when needed.
What are Drytis 5.1, Edge 2.2, and Albert 2.1? +
They are selectable build modes inside the product. Drytis 5.1 is for AI engineering with multiple agents. Edge 2.2 is a workhorse mode with experienced engineers in the loop. Albert 2.1 is for deep reasoning with elite engineers for complex, enterprise-grade work.
Do I need to upgrade to use Edge or Albert? +
No. You don't upgrade into a mode — you select it from the build mode selector when you need it. Usage is billed through credits based on token consumption.
How does credit-based billing work? +
When you use Drytis 5.1, Edge 2.2, or Albert 2.1, credits are consumed based on input and output tokens. Cached tokens save you 80% across all three modes. You can buy more credits anytime.
How does the engineer handoff work? +
When AI hits its limit, an engineer is connected to your project. They read every file, every commit, and every decision. They pick up without you re-explaining anything. You stay in the loop the whole time — watch them work, send messages, or jump on a call.
Can I bring my own codebase? +
Yes. You can clone your existing repository into the Drytis workspace. The engineer will have full context of your project from the start.
Do I own my code? +
Yes. You keep full ownership of all code you create in Drytis. There's no platform lock-in — your code is yours.
Can I work with a team? +
Yes. You can invite members, control who sees what, and collaborate in one shared workspace. Issues, documents, and scripts are all tied to the project.
Can I really build with Drytis if I am not technical? +
Yes. Drytis is built for founders, owners, and managers who know what they want to build but do not want to deal with servers, deployment, testing, or engineering workflows on their own.
What is the difference between a prototype and a production-ready product? +
A prototype shows the idea. A production-ready product is tested, stable, secure, and ready for real users. That is where most vibe-coded projects get stuck, and where stronger engineering support starts to matter.
Do I need to know servers, databases, or deployment? +
No. Drytis is designed so people can start without handling infrastructure themselves, while still getting a path to stronger engineering support when the project needs it.
What should I build first if I have a big idea? +
Start with the smallest version of the product that proves the core use case. The goal is not to build everything at once. The goal is to get the first useful version working.
What happens if AI-generated code breaks? +
AI-generated code usually needs review, debugging, and refinement before it is safe for real users. Drytis helps keep the project under control and adds stronger engineering support when the work needs more than prompting alone.
When should I hand off to an engineer? +
Usually when the project starts touching production risk, deployment complexity, security concerns, or bugs that can no longer be confidently resolved with prompting alone.
Can Drytis work with my existing codebase? +
Yes. Drytis supports repository-based workflows and is not limited to brand-new projects started from scratch.
Can I deploy to the web or app stores from Drytis? +
Yes. Drytis supports deployment workflows for hosting environments and app distribution targets, depending on the project and setup.
Do I need a technical cofounder to launch? +
Not always. But many non-technical founders eventually need stronger engineering support somewhere between first prototype and production release.
How do I know when my app is ready for real users? +
When it has gone beyond "it works on my screen" and has been tested for reliability, edge cases, stability, and real-world usage.
