What began as building the first version became a longer engineering partnership: first getting the product into users’ hands, then solving the harder problems that appear as an AI product grows.

How Amplified moved from a four-week MVP build to product engineering inside Envoy after the acquisition of OfficeTogether.

When we began working on Flower Focus, we asked a different question: what if progress could be experienced rather than measured? What

Tales of Illusion is an Apple Vision Pro experience made by Juliana, a Barcelona-based artist, together with Amplified.

One of the most rewarding moments came when Aura began responding to narration. Audio levels were sampled, normalized, and smoothed, then mapped to multiple visual properties.

Spatial Shopping exposed a harder problem once users began moving through the environment. Interactions that behaved correctly from one position could feel confusing from another perspective.

The first time one of us put on a Vision Pro was at an Apple Developer Lab. One of our engineers had been building against the simulator, but experiencing the device on real hardware changed the perspective immediately.

Most engineering teams are already experimenting with AI coding tools across implementation, debugging, research, PR review, documentation, migrations, and DevOps exploration.

AI coding tools are moving beyond autocomplete into full engineering workflows: codebase exploration, implementation drafts, debugging, testing, pull request review, and documentation.

For software teams, the challenge is no longer proving that AI can generate code. It can. The real challenge is using it in a way that preserves architecture, reliability, security, and sound product judgment.

With a major client launch approaching, limited documentation, and designs continuing to evolve, the team needed additional engineering capacity that could integrate quickly, adapt to changing requirements, and keep delivery moving forward.

Alex partnered with Amplified Software to bring his mission-driven app to life while maintaining full creative control without external investors.

Our first task was to refactor and rebuild the AbstractOps platform, with thorough testing to ensure strong performance.

Trust helps teams work better together, but building it with coworkers isn’t always straightforward.

We recently launched Amplified Tech Talks, starting with a session on small pull requests - what they are, why they improve our workflow, and how to create them.

Every software project comes with challenges - here are a few our PMs have faced at Amplified, and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.

Remote work can make employees feel disconnected, so companies need to be intentional about building and maintaining a strong culture.

Being a software project manager goes beyond running sprints and daily meetings - here are 7 key responsibilities you’ll handle outside the sprint cycle.

We’ve covered Agile basics, the project manager’s role, and what happens in each sprint — but Agile also means being ready for the unexpected.

Publibee’s founders came to Amplified with an MVP, initial designs, and a clear vision for the features they wanted to build next.

FarmRaise came to Amplified to build the first version of their app, helping them validate the solution and bring it to market without an in-house technical team.

In the Agile methodology, software development projects progress through sprint cycles: short periods where a specific part of the project is completed.

Every software team has its own way of managing projects — at Amplified, that means using Agile, though it wasn’t always our approach.

We’ve covered why senior developers might choose startups over big companies - but why choose Amplified specifically?

Link’s co-founders discovered Amplified through our CEO, who knew one of them from Stanford Business School. After comparing several companies, they chose us for our agile model and discovery-first approach.

Senior developers bring deep experience, strong technical judgment, and the ability to mentor junior team members.

Choosing the right outsourced team is just the start. Success depends on staying aligned throughout the project.

“A functional demo, matching the mockups, in four weeks. Can you do it?” Most teams would hear that and walk away. When Amy Yin asked us, we leaned in.

You’re engaging Amplified as your development partner, not a group of individual contractors. Our role is to mobilize strong, cohesive teams that deliver together.

We began with GitHub’s CI/CD capabilities, introduced in 2019, to support continuous development.

Every software development team has its own deployment process according to its needs, and for a long time, our team at Amplified did deployments at the end of a sprint.

There’s a common rule that you should hire a similar-sized business to do your software development, because as a small startup, your project may be under-prioritized at a large company.

Launching a startup isn’t easy, and along with building the right team, finding funding, and making a strong business and marketing plan, there is a crucial element to consider: who will handle the software development?

Victoire needed more than a website - she needed a partner to shape her online presence, so we began by getting to know her and her agency’s mission.

If you’re planning to build a better app and grow your business, Firebase might be the answer.

When starting your software project, the budget and timeline are essential. You go to your software developer and ask them to give you a software estimation: how much will this cost me, and when can I expect it to be completed?

Amplified helps build startups to make our clients’ work easier and more efficient.

We build software in two ways: independently on standalone projects, or alongside a client’s technical team. This post focuses on our independent development model.

Every engineer is either a full-stack developer, or is on track to become a full-stack developer. Amplifiers love technical challenges and are always looking for opportunities to expand their skillsets.

When it comes to designing software products, Amplified’s methodology is highly collaborative and iterative.

Amplified’s design studio produces software designs, digital animations, and brand identities. This blog post describes our methodology as it relates to brand formation.

We believe in entrepreneurship. We believe in people who are building new businesses that solve important problems.
