A Case Study on doing $1M worth of SW Development for $200 using AI
Details
A few years ago, this talk would have been a lie.
Today it's a workflow.
Tom Meloche built QuestionsHeal — a live wellness app, real users, NVIDIA Inception member, Google Cloud for Startups, AWS Activate — with no development team.
No engineers.
No offshore firm.
No standup with twelve faces on Zoom.
English in.
Working software out.
In this session, Tom walks through exactly how it happened. The prompts. The audits. The governance loops. The quality gates. The mistakes that taught him what AI-assisted Agile actually requires.
This isn't a hype talk.
It's a case study.
You'll see the real codebase. The real cost. The real workflow.
A production SaaS application built by one person and a fleet of AI agents, running the kind of continuous audit-and-fix loops that no traditional team ever had the patience to run.
You'll also leave with the harder questions:
What does a Scrum Master do now?
What does a Product Owner do when requirements
are written in plain English and tested in a browser?
What does "the team" mean when the team is one human and a dozen agents?
The Agile Manifesto turned 25 next year. Most of what it pointed at is more relevant than ever. Some of what we built around it... isn't.
Tom won't tell you which is which.
He'll show you the work and let you decide.
Bring your skepticism.
Bring your laptop if you want to follow along.
And bring the question most of the room is already quietly asking:
If one person can do this for $200... what is everyone else still doing?
