Our professional services

  • 01

    Comprehensive Business Analysis

    Our experts process the available documents and collaborate closely with your team to gain a deep understanding of your project's goals and challenges. During this phase, we conduct stakeholder interviews, gather requirements, visualize and analyze workflows, identify bottlenecks, design solutions, and create prototypes in Miro. As a result, you receive a comprehensive analysis that serves as a solid foundation for an accurate project estimation, along with prototypes that guide further design research and development.
  • 02

    Proof of Concept development

    A Proof of Concept (POC) is an essential component of any large-scale project, allowing you to test ideas and validate assumptions before full-scale development begins. It facilitates the testing of risky features and modules to ensure their feasibility and value for the application, enabling their rejection if necessary without disrupting the development flow. Additionally, a POC aids in project estimation by highlighting and describing risks identified during the Business Analysis phase. It also serves as a foundation for subsequent MVP development and provides a working prototype for investors, positively impacting the financial aspect of the project.

    UI/UX design & prototyping

    Test and polish your user interface drafts to perfection with UKAD by sketching, wireframing, creating prototypes, and constant user testing to create intuitive and attractive UI/UX designs for applications. We conduct competitor and user research, find the best visual solutions, and implement them using tools like Miro and Figma.
  • 04

    MVP development

    MVP, or minimum viable product, is the earliest version of an app suitable for serving the target audience. It is an important step that helps to discover the market prospects, gather feedback from so-called early adopters, and develop the product employing experience from real users.

MVP development best practices

  • 01
    The flag icon.

    Define objectives and goals

    Before starting your research, it's crucial to have a clear understanding of what you want to achieve and how you plan to do it. Identify your success criteria, key features, and the best ways to connect with your audience.

  • 02
    The target icon.

    Identify your target audience

    A clear understanding of your future user identities makes the analysis more correct and helps build an effective MVP. Define user personas, conduct competitor analysis, and try to find as many criteria as possible.

  • 03
    The key icon.

    Prioritize core features

    Focus on including only essential functionality in your MVP, polished to perfection. While it's tempting to add more features, doing so can lead to unnecessary complexity and cost. Launching with just the vital features ensures a more cost-effective approach and allows you to concentrate on performance, providing a high-quality user experience.

    Focus on user experience

  • 05
    The maximize icon.

    Develop with scalability in mind

    Make your architecture robust and scalable from the start! Implementation of DevOps practices, such as CI/CD, is necessary if you're planning to grow an MVP into a powerful market-leading product.

  • 06
    The activity icon.

    Be agile

    To build a successful product, you must be swift and flexible, timely and adequately respond to user feedback, and implement the required features as soon as possible, which is nearly impossible without quality planning and agile development.

The thing is a neural network, more specifically Chat GPT - a chatbot using downloaded information to generate unique answers. It's capable of talking like a living person, composing various texts, answering questions, writing poems, and so on. No discussion, it's a perfect toy for grown-up boys and girls, but can it be beneficial to the business?
