Frequently Asked Questions About AI-Built Custom Software
The questions below come up in nearly every scoping call. Each answer starts with the short version; where a full page exists, it is linked. If your question is not here, ask us directly: a real person answers, usually the one who would build your software.
Working With Us
What does Globaprom build?
Custom web applications, internal tools, dashboards, workflow and document automations, and system integrations, all AI-assisted and human-reviewed. We work mainly with logistics, e-commerce, IT, technical, and small-business teams. Full catalog: /services/.
How long will our software take to build?
Most builds run 2–6 weeks from approved scope to production: 2–3 weeks for a workflow automation, 3–6 for a custom web app, 5–8 for a multilingual platform. Your quote states a delivery date, not a guess. Full answer: /how-we-work/.
How do we start a project?
With a free 30-minute scoping call. You describe the workflow that hurts, in plain language; we turn it into a written scope, a fixed price, and a delivery date within a few business days. No specification needed. Book it at /contact/.
Can we commission software without an IT department?
Yes, and most of our clients do. The scope is written in plain English, we handle deployment and hosting, and handover includes documentation your next developer can pick up. Full answer: /how-we-work/.
Can you rebuild or modernize software another vendor built?
Yes. Legacy modernization is a standard request: aging tools, unsupported apps, and load-bearing spreadsheets get rebuilt incrementally rather than in one risky rewrite. The scoping call establishes what exists and what to keep. What we build and modernize: /services/.
What happens after launch?
You choose: run the software yourself, hand it to a third party, or take an optional care plan covering hosting, monitoring, and small changes for a fixed monthly fee. Nothing after launch is mandatory. Full answer: /maintenance-support/.
Pricing and Ownership
How do you price projects?
One fixed figure against a written scope, agreed before work starts, with a delivery date attached. No hourly billing, so revisions and slow days are our risk, not your budget's. Packages and what moves a quote: /pricing/.
Why can you price below traditional agencies?
Traditional agencies bill $100–200 per hour for hand-written code. Our engineers direct AI tools to generate the software, then review and harden it, which compresses the build phase from months to weeks. Fewer hours, same accountability, so the price drops. Full answer: /pricing/.
Who owns the software once it is delivered?
You do, in writing: source code, repository, data, and infrastructure accounts, with the IP assignment in the contract. No license fees, no per-seat charges, no dependency on us. Full answer: /code-ownership/.
Are there ongoing fees after delivery?
None that are mandatory. You pay your own hosting and any third-party services you choose, at cost, in your accounts. A Globaprom care plan is optional and monthly. There is no license or subscription owed to us, ever. Full answer: /maintenance-support/.
Should we build custom software or keep paying for SaaS?
Keep SaaS that fits. Build when per-seat fees compound past a one-time build cost, when workarounds eat real hours weekly, or when the tool almost fits and the gap is your core workflow. A scoping call gives you the numbers to decide: /contact/.
AI-Assisted Development
How does AI-assisted development work in practice?
Our engineers direct AI coding tools to generate the software, then review, test, and harden everything before it ships. Generation is fast; accountability stays human. The approach is called vibecoding, and we explain it for business buyers at /vibecoding/.
Is software built with AI safe to run a business on?
Yes, when every line is reviewed, and that is our rule. An engineer reads all AI-generated code before it merges, with dependency audits running behind the review. Unreviewed AI code is the risk; the review is the product. Full answer: /security/.
Can AI build our software without engineers involved?
No, and vendors claiming otherwise are the reason AI code has a reputation problem. AI accelerates the writing; humans still make the architecture, security, and edge-case decisions. You are hiring the judgment, not the keystrokes. See how the review works: /how-we-work/.
Who is accountable if something breaks?
We are. If the software fails the written scope and acceptance criteria you approved, we fix it at no cost, care plan or not. AI in the workflow changes our speed, never our responsibility. Full answer: /how-we-work/.
Multilingual
What does "multilingual-ready from day one" mean?
Every build uses i18n-first architecture: interfaces, data, dates, and currencies are engineered for multiple languages even if you launch in one. Adding a language later is a linear cost, not a rebuild. The heritage behind it is at /about/.
Why does a software agency have translation heritage?
Globaprom grew out of BeTranslated, a global translation business we ran for 20+ years. We built multilingual software for our own operations first, then productized the capability. No competitor in custom software can claim that background. Full story: /about/ and /why-globaprom/.
Do extra languages make the project much more expensive?
No. Because the architecture is i18n-first, each language adds content and testing, not structural work, so cost grows linearly. Retrofitting a monolingual system elsewhere is the expensive path. Package details: /pricing/.
Which languages can you deliver?
Any language with professional translator coverage, which in practice means the languages your markets use. Our translation pipelines connect to professional human translators rather than raw machine output, a network built over two decades. Scope your languages on a call: /contact/.
