(04) What you keep
Your code, your accounts.Nothing held back.
Your repository
The code lives in a GitHub repository that's yours, with its full history: your own from the first commit, or one I set up and transfer to you. You can watch every change land.
Your accounts
Hosting, database, payments and app store accounts belong to you. If you have them, you invite me; if not, I set them up for the project and transfer each one to you at handover.
One engineer
The person on the first call is the person who writes the code. Nothing is handed to a junior or passed to another company.
A clean handover
Notes on how it works and how to deploy it, so you or any developer can carry on without me. Monthly plans cancel any month.
The code and designs are legally yours once each invoice is paid. Read the terms
(05) Questions
What founders askbefore we start.
What can you automate for my business?
Most work that repeats, follows rules and lives in tools you can connect: support replies, onboarding emails, lead follow-ups, reports, copying data between apps, and sorting emails or documents. On the intro call I'll tell you which of yours are worth automating first, and which aren't worth it yet.
Will an automation replace my team?
It takes the repeat work off them. Steps that touch money, customers or anything legal keep a person checking before they go out, and your team gets those hours back for the work that needs a person.
What does the automation plan include, and how long does it take?
I go through how the work happens today, pick the tasks worth automating, and write up what to build, which tools to use, where a person stays in the loop and what each part will cost to run at your volume. It usually costs $500 – $1,500, quoted after the intro call, and takes a few days. The plan is yours, whoever builds it.
How much does it cost?
Every job is quoted for your requirements, in writing, before I start. As a guide: an automation plan is $500 – $1,500, and building the automation usually runs $1,500 – $6,000. New products start from $6,000, and ongoing care is from $800 / month. Fixing an app built with AI tools starts with a code audit at $500 – $1,500. The intro call is free, and I give you the exact quote after it.
What does an automation cost to run once it's built?
Every model call costs a little, so the plan estimates the monthly running cost at your volume. I set a spending cap and log what each run used, so you see the costs as they happen, not on a surprise bill.
Which tools do you build with?
Whatever fits the job. I've run agents and workflows in production with Mastra and Temporal, I've worked with Azure OpenAI and AWS Bedrock, and I compared LangChain, LangGraph, OpenAI, n8n and AgentScope before choosing those at Kupa. I connect the automation to the tools you already use rather than asking you to switch.
What do I need to send you?
To start, a few lines on the work you want automated or the product you want built. For the plan, I'll ask for a few real examples of the work and access to the tools involved, read-only or a test account where possible. I'm happy to sign an NDA before you share anything, mine or yours.
Who owns the code?
You do. Once an invoice is paid in full, the code, designs and everything else I made for you on that work are yours, and ownership passes to you on payment. The work lives in your repository and your accounts. Any of my own tools or snippets that end up in it come with a free, permanent licence, and open-source parts keep their own licences. I only show your project in my portfolio with your written permission. The full terms are on the Terms page, at /legal/terms.
I'm in the US, UK or Europe. Does the time difference matter?
Not much. I take calls from 7am to midnight India time (UTC+5:30). That covers the whole UK and European working day, and US mornings up to about 2:30pm Eastern. In 2025 I worked day to day with the founders and CTO of Kupa, a US fintech, from Jaipur. Between calls you get a working build every week.
Is it just you?
Yes. HS is one person, end to end. The person on the intro call is the person building your automation or your product, with no account managers or handoffs in between.
Do you also build new products from scratch?
Yes. I built the Unlok app for iPhone and Android from an empty repo, and the Cab in Jaipur website and its CMS for a local client. A new build follows the same steps: a free call, a plan, then a working build every week.
Can you fix an app built with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor or v0?
Yes, case by case. These apps are usually React or Next.js with Supabase or Firebase behind them, and I've shipped production products in React, Next.js and PostgreSQL since 2023. It starts with a code audit at $500 – $1,500, and on the call I'll tell you honestly whether I think it can be fixed without a rewrite.
Will you rewrite my app?
Only as a last resort, and if I think you need one, the audit will explain why. Most of the time I keep what works, fix the rest and leave code that you, your AI tools or the next developer can keep building on.
What does the code audit include, and how long does it take?
I read the code, the database rules and the live site: who can read which data, whether secret keys reach the browser, whether payments are verified, outdated packages, error handling, and whether Google and a mid-range phone can load your pages. Then I write it up in plain words, ranked by risk, with an estimate for each fix. It's quoted by the size of the app and takes a few days.
Can I take the plan or the audit to someone else?
Yes. The automation plan and the code audit are both yours, whoever does the work. Each is written so another developer can pick it up and start, without needing me in the room.
