Kubernetes foundations with reliable RAG and orchestration
From concept to V1 platform launch
What was the challenge?
The founder needed to build a complex, AI-driven API discovery platform. It wasn't just a UI—it was a deep-tech infrastructure play involving RAG-based orchestration and natural language processing.
Bootstrap team We started with 2 developers to validate the core RAG concept.
Scale-up Post-funding, we deployed a 4-person pod (backend + DevOps) to deliver the V1 platform.
Tech mastery We built the engine that allows PolyAPI to generate SDKs in seconds using generative AI.
“The biggest benefit has been time to market. We don't think we'd be this far along without Hotovo's help.”

Why complex AI platforms require a strategic partner
Who We Build For
Built for founders and visionaries
For early-stage founders
- Validate your technical thesis without hiring a full-time CTO.
- Get to V1 fast so you can raise your seed or Series A.
For scale-up CTOs
- Offload the complex platform infrastructure work so your core team can focus on user features.
- Inject instant Kubernetes and AI expertise into your roadmap.
Common questions on building AI platforms
We are product builders, not an outsourcing agency. We embed ourselves into your vision, providing the architectural weight of a CTO and the execution speed of a dedicated squad. Unlike typical agencies that focus on billable hours, our "MVP-to-scale" engine is designed to take you from a pre-seed concept to a Series A enterprise platform with a core team that cares about the outcome, not just output.
We engineer for robustness and scalability. Our core architecture relies on Kubernetes, Python (backend), and React (frontend). For intelligent integrations, we implement RAG-based orchestration using vector databases and LLMs (like GPT-5). This allows us to build agentic workflows where AI agents utilize natural language processing to train, discover, and consume APIs autonomously.
We operate on a dynamic scaling model that adjusts to your funding rounds. We typically start with Phase 1 (pre-seed), utilizing a lean senior pod to bootstrap and validate technical feasibility. As you secure funding, we shift to Phase 2 (the platform phase), instantly deploying a full-stack team (backend, DevOps, architect) to build the core infrastructure. For clients like PolyAPI, we expanded from a bootstrap duo to a comprehensive team ensuring 24/7 reliability for their V1 launch.
Yes. In fact, we prefer it. We validate the technical feasibility of your AI agents and integration logic before you burn cash on scaling. We avoid the 'time-to-market' paradox by building an MVP that isn't throwaway code, but a scalable foundation ready for Kubernetes-native deployment from day one.
100%. We are your partner. You own every line of code, every container, and every architectural diagram. We build the "brain" that connects LLMs to your business data, but that brain belongs entirely to you.
