What they did
After explaining the process to each existing customer, B7 Dev asks the AI agent (Claude) to scan the existing codebase and produce a diagnosis of stability, security, common problems and bugs, then offers to fix everything to bring it to top coding standards. Also offers AI-driven performance optimization and builds internal tools/services around the client's startup that used to be too expensive, instead of the client paying SaaS providers. Senior developers check all agent output.
What happened
Some clients got ~20x performance with the same resources; guest calls it a win-win.
