## When Teammates.ai Fits Best

- You built an app in Replit and want AI Engineer to move it into a managed production stack with isolated PostgreSQL and custom domains.
- You want to launch a named, branded SaaS or service business from one sentence without managing servers.
- You want Raya, Adam, Sara, and AI Co-Founder running customer support, sales, and hiring alongside your product.

## When Replit Agent Fits

- You want an online code editor to learn programming or test standalone scripts in a browser terminal.
- You prefer manually managing Linux container configs, packages, and ports.

## Why Founders Outgrow Replit Agent

- **Escape Agent Refactoring Loops & Container Drift**: Replit Agent frequently overwrites working files in long sessions while burning usage checkpoints and compute fees. -> AI Engineer starts with a free GitHub readiness check (0 Credits), exposes a live multi-route Pages catalog and full-project Code view, and never bills Credits for failed or stopped runs.
- **Production PostgreSQL & Encrypted Secrets Without VM Management**: Requires configuring container ports, autoscale VM limits, and manual database backups. -> Every application provisions an isolated PostgreSQL relational database with Row-Level Security, Python and JavaScript serverless functions, write-only encrypted secrets, and verified SSL custom domains.
- **Built-In Revenue, Support & Hiring Teammates**: Replit ships zero teammates to talk to your customers, close deals, or screen job applicants. -> Raya answers customers across voice, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, email, and phone; Adam qualifies buyers on your site and runs outbound campaigns; Sara conducts live camera-on interviews.

## Migration & Onboarding Steps

01. **Connect Your Replit GitHub Repo (0 Credits)**: AI Engineer scans your Replit repository, dependencies, database schema, and environment variables in a free readiness report.
02. **Migrate to Isolated PostgreSQL & Serverless Functions**: Review and approve the migration plan by conversation. AI Engineer moves your data, serverless endpoints, and custom domain.
03. **Activate Your Full AI Workforce**: Turn on Raya for 24/7 customer support, Adam for voice sales and campaigns, Sara for hiring, and AI Co-Founder for daily orchestration.

## Frequently Asked Questions

- **Can I move my Replit Agent project to Teammates.ai without rewriting it?**: Yes. Push your Replit project to GitHub and paste the repository URL into Teammates.ai. AI Engineer performs a free readiness check (0 Credits) and guides your code, database, and custom domain move by conversation.
- **How does Teammates.ai billing compare to Replit Agent checkpoints?**: Replit bills per agent checkpoint plus ongoing VM compute even when an edit introduces bugs. Teammates.ai meters by transparent Credits and never bills for failed or stopped work.
- **Does Teammates.ai give me code visibility and backend control?**: Yes. AI Engineer provides a live multi-route Pages catalog and full-project Code view backed by an isolated PostgreSQL relational database with Row-Level Security, Python and JavaScript serverless functions, and encrypted write-only API secrets.
- **Who runs customer support and sales once my app is deployed?**: In the same workspace, Raya handles 24/7 support across website voice, WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, email, and phone; Adam qualifies leads by voice on your site and runs outbound campaigns; Sara screens job candidates; and AI Co-Founder coordinates operations.
