Is The Most Valuable AI Function Asking Better Questions?

Anke Corbin

4 min read4 weeks agoJune 19, 2026

How the "Grill Me" method became a key part of Project Weaver's approach to AI-assisted software development. We've shared some of the thinking behind Project Weaver—the internal engineering framework we've developed at profiq to help our teams and AI work together more effectively. Rather than treating AI as a magic code generator, Weaver is built around a simple idea: the better the structure, context, and engineering discipline, the better the outcomes.

From Vibe-Coded Prototype to Production-Ready App Using Weaver

There's an important distinction between a prototype that demonstrates an idea and a system that can support a real business. Recently, we had the opportunity to explore that distinction firsthand while working with Ginger & Nash on an application called c.h.i.p. using profiq Weaver as an AI assistant.

Documentation - the Next Priority in AI-Assisted Development

Anke Corbin

A priority is 'Documentation', as a practical way to make coding agents more accurate, more consistent, and far less likely to drift into outdated assumptions. This post explains why documentation matters so much for AI coding workflows, what tends to go wrong with “just search the web” approaches, and why Weaver treats documentation as a first-class citizen inside the repository.

It has been over a year since OpenAI introduced ChatGPT and brought the power of AI and large language models (LLMs) to the average consumer. But we could argue that introducing APIs for seamlessly integrating large language models into apps developed by companies and independent hackers all over the world can be the true game changer in the long term. Developers are having heated discussions about how we can utilize this technology to develop truly useful apps that provide real value instead of just copying what OpenAI does.
