For founders CEO Self-hosted

Ship more with the team you already have.

You already pay for engineers, an AI provider, and the tools between idea and shipped code. DevIntern helps that team do more: @devintern/pm turns rough input into tracker-ready specs, @devintern/code handles routine tickets and opens draft PRs on your own machines. Buy once, run on your infra, use the AI keys you already have. No new subscription, no platform swap, no sending code to a vendor.

Why self-hosted wins for founders

Nothing new for legal or security to slow down.

Every cloud AI pitch means vetting a new vendor, signing another contract, and paying every month forever. DevIntern runs on the laptops, VMs, and AI keys you already own — so you can start this week, not after a nine-month review.

Zero extra cloud bill

No per-person monthly fees. No compute charges from us. No usage surprise next quarter. Runs on hardware you already pay for: a laptop, a spare VM, a free devbox.

Your hardware. Your infra. Unchanged.

Native access to internal context

Your code, your database, your internal MCPs, your private APIs, your custom skills. A cloud-hosted competitor literally cannot reach inside your network to use them. Self-hosted can.

Private repos · internal DBs · MCPs · secret stores · internal docs.

Compliance & data residency

Code, secrets, and prompts never leave your network. Your machines, your logs, your existing AI account. SOC 2, HIPAA, and EU data-residency requirements stay yours to answer, not a vendor's checklist.

Your network. Your logs. Your rules.

Uses the AI account you already have

Already paying Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, or Azure OpenAI? DevIntern uses that account and those keys. No new vendor paperwork. No double-billing. No fresh legal review.

Your model · your keys · your bill.

Security

Your code stays on your network.

If you cannot show where data went, you cannot stand behind it. DevIntern keeps everything on your machines, in your network, under controls you already run.

  • Code, prompts, and secrets never leave your network.
  • AI traffic goes through the provider and keys you already use.
  • Every agent run is saved on your machines.
  • No new vendor to add to your privacy paperwork.
  • Switch AI providers without renegotiating with us.

Where it runs

Your Mac, a Linux VM, or a spare devbox.

No Kubernetes cluster to stand up. No managed-service account to open. @devintern/pm and @devintern/code run natively on macOS and Linux — on a laptop, a VM, or a machine you already have. The optional server-automation addon runs unattended on either.

How you buy it

Pay once. Keep it.

One-time purchase, not another monthly bill. No annual renewal, no surprise price hikes, no auto-billing you forgot to cancel.

What actually changes

More output from the team you already have.

Less time lost between idea and shipped code. More hours back for product work. Numbers you can check yourself, not another slide deck full of adjectives.

More from the team you have

The people already on payroll ship more. Time saved goes back into product work, not babysitting the gap between idea and merged code.

Bridge, not replacement

Same Jira board. Same GitHub repos. Same Figma files. No migration project, no rip-and-replace, no six-month rollout.

Every hire works harder

Engineers and PMs you already employ get more done. Measure it in hours saved per role, week over week — not vague productivity talk.

Operators ship too

Product, design, and founders can push real changes end-to-end. The whole company moves faster, not just engineering.

Easy to verify

Every run is saved locally. You can see what happened, when, and whether it helped — without trusting a vendor dashboard.

Team pricing

Discounts at 11, 26, 51, and 101 seats. Mix PM and engineering licenses. Optional server addon runs overnight on your own box.

Typical cloud SaaS equivalent

Monthly subscription · runs on their servers

Next step

Try it on one team before you expand.

Pick one team, connect DevIntern to the AI provider and machines you already use, and run it on real work. You'll see quickly whether output goes up — without a new subscription, a platform swap, or hiring your way out of the backlog.

Getting started
  1. Day 1 Pick one team · install @devintern/pm and @devintern/code on a laptop or VM
  2. Days 2–3 Run real tickets end-to-end: specs from @devintern/pm, draft PRs from @devintern/code
  3. Week 1 Label a queue · add server automation so work keeps moving overnight
  4. Week 2 See hours saved by role — decide whether to roll out to more teams
