How to start development and operations with AI — even without engineers on staff
No applicants. Engineers who leave soon after hiring. No IT staff to judge technical decisions. A story for business owners who want to move forward on development but have zero in-house IT capability.
"Engineer shortage" is a problem that does not solve itself by waiting — and competitors are moving forward while you wait. GIIP FDE Ops is an AI partner that lets you start development and operations with a single Slack message, even when you have zero engineers on staff.
No one applies even when you post a role
In a chronic IT talent shortage, smaller and regional companies get stuck at the applicant-pool stage.
Hired engineers leave soon after
Even with competitive salaries, IT talent is prone to job-hopping to better offers, making training investments a loss.
No one in-house can judge technical decisions
When evaluating new development or outsourcing, no one can validate quotes or judge technical choices.
Hiring was the only solution you considered
Believing that hiring IT talent was the only path, you did not explore alternatives.
Past outsourcing experiences created fear
Bad experiences with dev vendors have left a lingering fear of outsourcing.
No partner could handle both tech and operations
Splitting development and operations across vendors creates accountability gaps.
From zero IT staff, you can start development and operations with a single Slack message.
Planning through build and run, end-to-end
FDE Ops carries requirements, development, Dev/Stg/Prod provisioning, database, security, deployment, monitoring, incident response and cost optimization continuously.
No dependency on a single person
AI multi-agents execute the work; everything is tracked in the giip issue system. Quality holds even through staffing changes.
Starts from a Slack message
No formal requirements document needed. "I need a system like this" or "the server is slow" is enough to begin.
Who this is for
- No IT staff, or not enough of them
- Want to pursue new development or improve existing systems but lack in-house technical judgment
- Considering outsourcing but have bad past experiences and hesitation
- Want to start something now but feel waiting is the only option
Frequently asked questions
Can we really start without any engineers?
Yes. No formal requirements document is needed. Describe what you need or what problem you are facing in Slack and FDE Ops will shape the requirements and begin.
We have had bad experiences with dev vendors before — is this different?
GIIP does not end at delivery — it owns operations end-to-end. Because build and run are never split, post-launch issues do not fall through the cracks.
What does it cost?
FDE Box starts at JPY 500,000/month (excl. tax) including dedicated hardware and full operations. Specific pricing is tailored after a consultation.
