Honest answers

Common questions, answered plainly.

Clear positions on code ownership, working with legacy software, AI prototyping, search and answer-engine optimisation, and client data handling — before we sign an agreement.

Frequently asked questions list

  1. 01 Engagement

    Do you work with existing codebases?

    Yes. Most engagements start with something already running. We will read it before we quote, and tell you if the honest answer is a rewrite.

  2. 02 IP & Ownership

    Who owns the code you write?

    You do, from the first commit. It lives in your repository under your own account, on infrastructure you hold the keys to. There is nothing to license back and nothing to buy out if you leave.

  3. 03 Engineering

    What does "vibe coding" mean when you do it?

    It means we let models write the first draft and put a senior engineer in front of every commit. It buys days on a prototype. It does not mean shipping code nobody on the team can explain — anything reaching production is reviewed, tested and understood first, and prototypes are labelled as prototypes so they are never mistaken for products.

  4. 04 SEO & Growth

    Can you do SEO as well as the build?

    Yes, and having both in one team is the point. Crawlability, structured data, Core Web Vitals and the machine-readable surfaces AI assistants read are decisions in the codebase. They cost very little during a build and a great deal to retrofit onto a finished one.

  5. 05 AI & GEO

    What is AI SEO, and how is it different from normal SEO?

    Normal SEO is about ranking a page in a list of links. AI SEO — also called answer-engine optimisation — is about being the source an assistant quotes when it answers instead of linking. In practice that means answer-first page structure, clean machine-readable copies of your content, consistent entity and citation signals, and measuring whether you actually appear in generated answers. We do both, because the same content has to win in both places.

  6. 06 Security & Privacy

    How do you handle our customers’ data?

    As a processor, acting on your documented instructions under a published data processing agreement. We do not sell personal data, do not use it for advertising, and do not train models on it. Deletion requests are honoured within 30 days and each one gets a status URL you can check.

  7. 07 Company & Legal

    Where are you based, and who are we contracting with?

    A & A Labs (Private) Limited is registered in Pakistan. We work with clients across time zones, write everything down, and contract as the named entity in our published legal documents.

Have a specific question?

Ask anything about your project.

If your question is technical, commercial, or requires an NDA upfront, email the team directly. We answer with engineering specifics rather than sales scripts.

Ready to build?

Whether taking over an established system or prototyping a new product, we provide fixed estimates, clear architecture, and working code.
