Gridbuild

An AI engineering team for your mobile app.

It watches your tickets and crash reports, picks up the work, and opens tested pull requests from your own machines, even the ones your team leaves on overnight.

Runs on your machines and your own AI account. No card needed.

A real run on October 31: Bluesky's open Android bug, labelled bot on our fork, fixed for $7.05 of AI. The phone footage is Gridbuild's own recording, sped up while it navigates.See the pull request

Three weeks on a production mobile team, Oct 12 to 30, 2026.

More than a prompt. A whole team around it.

Models can already write the code. Gridbuild gives them what a prompt can't: eyes on your app, a dispatcher that hands out the work, machines and phones to test on, and a memory of how your team builds.

Every fix comes with proof.

You see it working before you read a line of the diff. Leave a comment and it fixes, re-tests and films it again.

Every pull request includes

  • The fix on its own branch, as a normal diff
  • What was wrong and what changed, in plain words
  • Before-and-after video from iOS and Android
  • Test results, including any tests it added
  • What it couldn't check, so you know where to look

What it takes off your backlog.

It starts with the tickets that sit for weeks, and takes on more as the models get better.

Today

  • Crashes you can reproduce
  • Layout bugs on one platform
  • Accessibility fixes
  • Copy and translation fixes
  • Small features with a clear "done"
  • New Crashlytics crashes, picked up before anyone files a ticket

Next

  • Redesigns and whole features: it interviews you, shows you directions, then builds the one you pick
  • Sentry errors and store reviews that report bugs
  • SDK and OS upgrades, tested on both platforms

Example backlog. Redesigns and whole features are coming next.

It gets better with every review.

Each correction becomes a lesson it follows on every run. Your reviews write the file, and you can read and edit every line.

Example lessons file.

It works on the machines you already have.

Today it runs on one Mac. Coming next: spare Macs, Linux boxes and your team's own Macs after they log off join one grid, and the dispatcher spreads the work across them.

Runs where your builds run

Mobile teams already keep Macs for Xcode. Gridbuild uses the same ones, with your simulators and emulators.

Your code stays with you

It only goes to the AI provider you already use, on your own account, and you pay that bill directly.

Linux boxes take the Android work

Every AI engineer gets its own simulator or emulator, so none of them wait or collide. Android runs on Linux; iPhone work stays on your Macs.

Your team's Macs, after hours

When someone logs off, their Mac can join. The AI engineer works in a sealed space that never touches their files or accounts, and hands the Mac back when they return. An office in India can work your US backlog overnight.

Works with apps built in Swift, Kotlin, React Native, Expo and Flutter.

Example grid. More machines, and Macs that join after hours, are coming next.

Where this goes.

We start with mobile because it's the hardest: it needs Macs, simulators and proof. Every other team is easier.

  1. Now

    Your mobile backlog

    Bugs, crashes and small features from GitHub, Jira and Crashlytics, fixed on your Mac and proven on the simulator.

  2. Next

    Your whole mobile team

    Redesigns and new features: it interviews whoever filed the ticket, then builds two or three directions you can try on a simulator. Plus a dispatcher across all your Macs and Linux boxes, and your team's Macs working after hours.

  3. Later

    Every team, every device

    Web and backend teams, hosted Macs and real phones for teams without their own, and a phone app to review and merge from anywhere.

Free to try. Paid to hire.

What paid adds on top of free All coming next

  • More AI engineers Several working at once from one queue: it merges duplicates, puts the most urgent first, and picks the model and account for each task, on your own AI accounts.
  • Grid As many machines as you like: spare Macs, Linux boxes and your team's Macs after hours, joining by connecting out to the dispatcher, with no VPN.
  • Proof pages A hosted page of proof for every pull request.
  • Shared lessons Review lessons shared across your team and every repo.
  • Dashboard A team dashboard, and a phone app to review and merge from anywhere.
  • Controls Budgets, single sign-on and an audit log.

Questions

What does Gridbuild need from us?

A Mac that can build your app, access to your GitHub repo, and an account with a coding agent. In a pilot, we set it up with you on a call.

Which tickets should it take first?

The ones that sit for weeks: crashes you can reproduce, layout bugs on one platform, accessibility, copy and translation fixes, and small features with a clear "done". It takes on more as the models get better.

Which coding agents and models does it work with?

The ones you already use. Claude Code works today, and Codex is next. On personal projects, sign in with your Claude or ChatGPT subscription. At work, use your company's API keys, or any model through your own AI router or OpenRouter. You pay your AI provider directly.

Does our code leave our machines?

Your repo, builds and simulators stay on your machines. Code goes only to the AI provider you already use, on your own account, the same as when your engineers use it.

What if the fix is wrong?

You review every pull request, like a teammate's. Leave a comment and it fixes it, re-tests and saves the lesson. Nothing merges without you.

Isn't this just a prompt to Claude or Codex?

A prompt writes code. Gridbuild runs the whole job around it: it finds the work, reproduces the bug on a simulator, tests on iOS and Android, films the proof, answers your review and remembers what your team taught it, on as many machines as you give it.

Will it build whole features and redesigns?

That's next. Today it takes bugs and small features. Next, for a redesign or a bigger feature, it interviews whoever filed the ticket, builds two or three directions you can try on a simulator, then builds and proves the one you pick. It takes on more as the models get better.

Does it work on Linux?

Linux boxes are coming next, for Android work: each one runs Android emulators for its AI engineers. iPhone work needs a Mac, because the iOS Simulator only runs on macOS.

How is it different from AI testing tools?

Testing tools find bugs. Gridbuild fixes them and shows the fix working.

Get your first fix free.

A pilot is a free trial. We set Gridbuild up with you on one of your Macs, and it fixes a real ticket from your backlog. You keep the pull request either way.

  • You ship an iOS and Android app.
  • Your backlog has bugs nobody has time for.
  • Your team already keeps a Mac for builds.
