Question 1

What does Heimatverse do?

Accepted Answer

Heimatverse is a full-service software studio that builds custom software and AI-powered products. We take ideas from concept to production — typically within 3 to 6 weeks — covering everything from architecture and design to build and launch.

Question 2

How long does it take to build an MVP?

Accepted Answer

A focused MVP typically launches in 3–4 weeks. Full-featured products with custom AI integrations take 5–8 weeks. We work in weekly sprint cycles with live demos every Friday, so you always know what's been shipped.

Question 3

What technologies does Heimatverse use?

Accepted Answer

Our primary stack is Next.js, TypeScript, React Native, Supabase, and PostgreSQL. For AI, we integrate Claude API, build RAG pipelines, and use Cursor and GitHub Copilot throughout the development cycle.

Question 4

Do you work with startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes — startups are our primary client profile. We're optimised for speed-to-market and lean teams. Many of our clients are pre-seed or post-seed founders who need a technical co-builder, not just a vendor.

Question 5

How much does a project cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing depends on scope and complexity. We offer both fixed-scope project pricing and monthly retainers. Email info@heimatverse.com with a brief description of what you're building — we share a detailed scoping estimate within 24 hours.

Question 6

What is AI-native development?

Accepted Answer

AI-native means AI is embedded at every stage: Claude for product features and reasoning, Cursor for code generation, and custom tooling for QA and documentation. It's not a shortcut — it genuinely reduces build time by 30–50% without cutting corners on quality.

Question 7

Where is Heimatverse located?

Accepted Answer

We operate from three offices: Dubai (UAE), Gurugram (Two Horizon Centre, 4th Floor, Golf Course Road, Haryana 122002), and Bangalore (Karnataka, India). We work with clients globally.

Question 8

How do I start a project with Heimatverse?

Accepted Answer

Email info@heimatverse.com with a brief description of what you're building. We'll respond within one business day to schedule a discovery call. No lengthy intake forms — just a conversation.

Question 9

Do you offer post-launch support and maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Yes. All fixed-scope projects include a 30-day post-launch support window. We also offer ongoing retainers for feature iteration, maintenance, and scaling — structured as weekly sprints.

Question 10

Can you add AI to an existing product?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. AI augmentation is one of our most common engagements. Whether you need Claude API integration, a RAG pipeline over your data, or an internal AI tool, we typically complete a clean integration in 2–3 weeks.

Question 11

What is an MCP server and how does Heimatverse use it?

Accepted Answer

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server is an integration layer that gives AI agents structured access to your tools, databases, and APIs. Heimatverse builds custom MCP servers so your AI systems can read, write, and act on your internal data securely — without manual prompt engineering.

Question 12

What is Agentic AI and how is it different from a chatbot?

Accepted Answer

A chatbot responds to prompts. An agentic AI system takes actions — it calls APIs, reads documents, writes code, and executes multi-step workflows autonomously. Heimatverse builds agentic AI using Claude's tool-use and multi-agent orchestration frameworks.

Question 13

How much does it cost to build a custom software product with Heimatverse?

Accepted Answer

Project costs vary by scope. A focused MVP typically ranges from $15,000–$40,000 USD, with most projects delivered in 3–6 weeks. Ongoing retainers start from $8,000/month. We provide a fixed-scope, fixed-price proposal after an initial scoping call.

Question 14

Does Heimatverse work with US-based companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The majority of our clients are US-based startups, scale-ups, and enterprise teams. We operate across US, UAE, and Indian time zones with async-first communication, and our pricing is in USD.

Question 15

What is Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO)?

Accepted Answer

Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO) is the practice of structuring your content so AI systems — like Perplexity, ChatGPT, and Claude — cite your brand when answering relevant questions. It involves schema markup, concise authoritative answers, and entity authority building. Heimatverse offers AEO as part of its 360 Organic Marketing service.

Question 16

What is Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO)?

Accepted Answer

Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) is the process of optimising content to appear in AI-generated summaries and featured answers. Unlike traditional SEO, GEO focuses on citation-ready formatting, topical authority, and structured data that AI models can parse and trust.

Question 17

How long does it take to integrate AI into an existing product?

Accepted Answer

A focused AI integration — adding a Claude-powered feature, RAG pipeline, or agentic workflow to an existing product — typically takes 2–4 weeks. A full AI-native product rebuild takes 4–8 weeks depending on scope.

Question 18

Does Heimatverse build React Native apps?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We build cross-platform iOS and Android apps using React Native with Expo. Your mobile app shares the same backend (Supabase, PostgreSQL) as your web product, and we handle the full App Store and Play Store submission process.

Question 19

What is the difference between a software agency and a software studio?

Accepted Answer

A software agency typically scales by adding junior staff to more projects. A studio — like Heimatverse — stays small, keeps senior engineers on every project, and uses AI tooling to achieve the output of a team 5x larger. You get faster delivery, higher quality, and direct access to the people building your product.

Question 20

Does Heimatverse have an office in Dubai?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Heimatverse has a presence in Dubai (UAE), Gurugram (India), and Bangalore (India). We work primarily remote-first but are available for in-person meetings in all three cities.

Question 21

Can Heimatverse build SOC 2-compliant software?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our Enterprise Solutions service includes SOC 2 Type II-aligned architecture: data encryption at rest and in transit, RBAC, audit logging, SAML/SSO, and access control policies. We design for compliance from day one, not as a retrofit.

Question 22

What frontend framework does Heimatverse use?

Accepted Answer

We primarily build with Next.js (App Router), React, and TypeScript. For styling, we use Tailwind CSS. Animations use Framer Motion. We deploy to Vercel, Railway, or AWS depending on the project requirements.
