Case study
CodyHire rescued and launched Modern Mechanic on iOS and Android in less than two months.
After approximately nine months with a previous outsourced team left the product incomplete, CodyHire stepped in to deliver the production MVP — including AI-powered diagnostics, a specialized mechanic agent, mobile applications, payments, and cloud infrastructure — within a single delivery period.
A promising automotive AI product, stalled after nine months.
Modern Mechanic is an automotive AI product designed to help car owners and mechanics diagnose vehicle issues, access repair information, and manage maintenance. After approximately nine months of development with a previous outsourced team, the product was incomplete and the founder needed a new delivery partner who could assess the existing work, identify what was missing, and complete the product for launch.
Communication gaps, security issues, and incomplete foundations.
The initial assessment revealed several risks that had accumulated during the prior engagement:
- Communication gaps between business requirements and technical implementation
- Mobile code quality issues affecting stability and user experience
- API security vulnerabilities that needed remediation
- Infrastructure that was not maintainable or deployment-ready
Full-stack product rescue and delivery.
CodyHire took over the entire delivery responsibility. The engagement covered product and UX improvements, backend services, mobile development, AI integration, infrastructure, and app-store deployment. The goal was not to rebuild from scratch but to identify what was missing, fix what was broken, and get the product to a public launch.
What was delivered.
- iOS and Android mobile experiences — Native applications for car owners and mechanics
- Backend services and APIs — Server infrastructure supporting all product functions
- AI-powered automotive diagnostics — Intelligent vehicle issue analysis
- Specialized mechanic agent — AI assistant for repair guidance and troubleshooting
- In-app chatbot — User-facing conversational support
- OBD2 and Bluetooth Low Energy integration — Vehicle data connectivity
- VIN and vehicle-specification data — Lookup and processing
- Website, checkout, Stripe, shipping, and order management — E-commerce infrastructure
- Administrative portal and analytics — Business operations dashboard
- Cloud infrastructure and app-store deployment — Production hosting and launch
- Product and UX improvements required for launch — Design and usability refinements
From assessment to launch in a single delivery period.
CodyHire began with a rapid assessment of the existing codebase, infrastructure, and requirements. The team then prioritized the critical path to launch — fixing security issues, completing core product logic, building the AI features, and deploying both mobile apps to their respective app stores. The production MVP was publicly launched on iOS and Android in less than two months.
