Product Engineering

Ship the roadmap. Autonomously.

Maelo is an autonomous product team behind one lens: it researches, specs, prototypes, builds, and proves every feature — keeping context from the first idea to a merged, QA’d change.

Capabilities

An engineering org’s workflow, run by AI

Every stage of turning an idea into shipped software — with you steering in plain language.

Deep research & validation

Vendor research, pricing, buy-vs-build matrices, and live API validation — so an idea is de-risked before it becomes a build.

PRDs from your real code

Maelo reads across all your connected repos and synthesizes user-facing feature PRDs — not folder names — each a bundle of spec, build plan, and test guide.

Roadmaps & epics

Time-phased timelines, Now / Next / Later swimlanes, and parent epics that decompose into interconnected child PRDs. Publish a shareable snapshot.

A prototype with every PRD

See and feel a working prototype of the feature before committing engineering time — generated with Maelo’s own engine or v0 / Lovable.

In-house builder

The orchestrator decomposes a plan into parallel workstreams, then builds them on your own always-on runner or on Maelo Cloud.

Autonomous QA

Maelo compiles your TEST plan into a real click-through and runs it against a live pre-merge deploy, writing back pass/fail with evidence. (Runs on your paired Maelo desktop.)

Bugs → fixes from Sentry

Production errors surface in the lens and turn into a scoped PRD fix you can review and ship — closing the loop from incident to patch.

Escalations & control

When a decision needs a human, Maelo escalates instead of guessing. Every doc, build, and QA run is inspectable and reversible.

Coming soon

Autopilot auto-merge

Today Maelo opens clean PRs for human review. Full Autopilot — auto-merge the instant tests and QA are green — is on the way.

PRDs that know your codebase

It reads the code, then writes the spec

Instead of naming folders, Maelo behaves like a VP of Product: it broadly samples your API surfaces, screens, and vocabulary across every connected repo, then synthesizes the user-facing capabilities of the system as a whole.

  • Cross-repo PRDs that span marketing, web, and API
  • Each PRD is a talkable bundle: spec, AI build plan, test guide
  • Prototype attached, versioned docs, revert any change

Autonomous QA

Proof, not vibes, before it merges

Maelo compiles your test plan into a real browser flow, runs it against a live pre-merge deploy, and writes pass/fail with evidence back to the PRD. It executes on your paired Maelo desktop today. When Autopilot arrives, a QA skip will never count as a pass — anything red or unverifiable escalates to a human.

Self-hosted runners

Trigger anywhere, execute where you choose

Register a machine once — a Mac Studio, a build server — and it becomes an always-on runner. Where you trigger a build (web, desktop, mobile) is decoupled from where it runs. Maelo Cloud is the always-available fallback.

  • Runners dial out and heartbeat capabilities — no inbound ports
  • Short-lived, scoped push tokens per dispatch — never your long-lived keys
  • Pick a named runner by capability, or fall back to cloud
