We were shipping software before AI could write it.

DevThinks is a software studio. Since 2021 we have built Django platforms, React and React Native apps, Framer sites, Web3 exchanges, and payment systems. Now we put that experience into AI agents, and into AI-built apps that need to survive real users.

Track record - Before AI wrote code, and after

Lokkna, SURE-RT, and most of Poppy AI were built before AI coding agents existed. No Claude Code, no Codex, just documentation and an editor. That is the experience we bring to AI work.

Services - What we build

One studio across the stacks a founder usually ends up needing. AI is the newest item on this list, not the only one.

  • Web apps and SaaS. Next.js and Django platforms with Postgres or Supabase, role-based access, admin tools, and real-time features like chat.
  • Mobile apps. React Native and Expo apps for iOS and Android that share a backend with your web product.
  • Web3 products. DEX frontends and backends, wallet login, smart contract integration, and fiat onboarding with MoonPay.
  • Payments and ops automation. Stripe, PayPal, and ThriveCart billing wired into Airtable, Zapier, and the tools your team already uses.
  • Marketing sites. Framer and Next.js sites that load fast and are easy for your team to update.
  • AI agents and second brains. Agents with one clear job, scoped tool access, and a searchable memory built from your docs, calls, and notes.
  • AI prototypes to production. Built something with Cursor, Lovable, or Claude Code that breaks under real users? We fix the data model, permissions, tests, and deploys. Mission 22 started exactly there.

How we use AI - Experience decides what AI gets to touch

Years of shipping by hand taught us where a model saves a week and where it quietly breaks a data model.

  • AI writes code, we own it. We use AI coding agents on client work. A person who has fixed production bugs without them still reads, tests, and ships every change.
  • Context comes before the agent. A model can't use information it never gets. We build the memory first, then the agent that reads it.
  • One job per agent. An agent that handles "all of sales" does none of it well. We start with one workflow you can measure, and keep a person approving anything that touches money or customers.

FAQ - Questions founders ask us first

  • Is DevThinks an AI agency? No. DevThinks is a software studio that has shipped web, mobile, Web3, and payment systems since 2021. AI agents are one of the things we build now, next to everything else.
  • Can you fix an app that was built with AI tools? Yes. Mission 22's ambassador platform started as an AI-assisted prototype. We enforced permissions in the database with row-level security, added end-to-end tests and moderation tools, and shipped it to production.
  • Do I need an AI agent, or is a Zapier workflow enough? If the steps never change, use Zapier. It costs less and it won't make things up. Agents earn their cost when the input is messy, like emails, call transcripts, documents, and half-filled forms.
  • Which stacks does DevThinks work in? Next.js, React, React Native and Expo, Django, Node.js, Supabase and Postgres, Framer, Solidity, and Stripe. On the AI side, LangGraph with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini models.
  • Who owns the code and data? You do. We prefer to build in accounts you own, so you keep the repositories, the API keys, and the data.
  • How do we start? Book a call and tell us what you're building or what's broken. We will tell you on that call whether we're the right fit.
