Frequently Asked Questions

AI-Sitters are senior engineers who use AI coding tools to generate code rapidly, then personally review every output for correctness, security, and quality. Nothing ships without human sign-off. You also receive a transparency report showing which parts were AI-generated vs. human-refined.
Traditional outsourcing often means a distant vendor with poor communication and minimal oversight. 3Bird People includes European project managers and fractional CTOs who run Agile sprints, communicate daily, and hold developers to European quality standards — making it feel like a local team extension, not outsourcing.
For 3Bird People, first developers can be onboarding within 3–5 business days after intake and profile matching. For AI Lab, the first sprint can begin within 1–2 business days of the scope workshop. Hybrid engagements follow the AI Lab timeline for the first phase.
No rigid minimum. For 3Bird People, we recommend at least a 2-week trial sprint to validate the fit. For AI Lab, most engagements are project-based (10 days minimum to ensure quality). Ongoing retainers are available for both propositions with monthly cancellation.
You do — 100%. All intellectual property created during your engagement is assigned to you upon delivery. We sign NDAs before any project discussion, and our contracts make IP ownership clear and unambiguous, including for AI-generated code.
We replace them within 1–2 business days at no extra cost. Our 2-week trial period is designed to catch fit issues early. In 25+ years, we've built a deep enough pool that finding the right match quickly is never a problem.
The difference is the AI-Sitter: a senior engineer who knows exactly how to prompt, direct, and supervise AI tools to get production-quality code — then reviews and refines every output with security, quality, and ethics checks. Using AI tools without this expertise typically produces code that looks good but has subtle bugs, security flaws, and architectural issues.
Absolutely. Our project managers and fractional CTOs span multiple European nationalities and languages. Contracts, communication, and reporting can be in your preferred language. We also have experience with local compliance requirements across Europe (AVG/GDPR, local business standards).
