AI coding agents become a disciplined engineering team.

Heron lets a single product owner build enterprise-grade software — without a classic dev team and without deep technical know-how. Not another AI assistant, but the enforced engineering process around the AI.

The challenge

Growing companies hit the same wall.

AI coding agents are fast — but unchecked they produce code no one can take responsibility for. The result: prototypes that never reach production.

  • No process. The agent just writes away — no plan, no review, no traceable decisions.
  • No responsibility. No one checks against architecture, security, or the actual target vision.
  • No production-ready result. What emerges is a demo — not a maintainable system.
The solution

Heron wraps an enforced process around the AI.

1

Roles, not chaos

Discussant, planner, coder, reviewer — each role has a clear mandate. The reviewer comes from a different AI provider than the reviewed role.

2

Gated steps

Plan → review → implementation → validation. No step without approval. Drift between code and target vision becomes visible immediately.

3

One person is enough

The product owner makes the decisions, Heron enforces the engineering discipline. Enterprise-grade software without a team.

The method

Seven steps. Each one gated.

1

Discussion

Clarify the feature, explore the codebase.

2

Plan

A self-contained plan.

3

Review

A different provider reviews.

4

Implementation

Autonomous within the plan.

5

Validation

Checked against the plan.

6

Docs

Capture the knowledge.

7

Archive

Commit & close out.
