FML vs Cursor
Cursor gives you AI that generates code.
FML gives you AI + human experts who ship it to production.
AI-powered code editor — Cursor is an AI-enhanced VS Code fork with excellent autocomplete. But it's just an editor—no deployment, no human backup.

The FML difference: When AI generates broken code, our human experts step in to fix it. No more debugging at 2am.
When FML wins
Real scenarios where AI + Human experts outperform AI-only.
Deploying to Vercel
The problem
You need to deploy your app with environment variables.
With Cursor
Cursor helps you write code, but deployment configuration, secrets management, and preview environments are manual.
With FML
FML handles deployment setup, configures environment variables correctly, and ensures preview deployments work.
Implementing Webhooks
The problem
You need to receive Stripe/Clerk webhooks.
With Cursor
Cursor's AI can suggest webhook code, but signature verification, idempotency, and error handling need your expertise.
With FML
FML engineers implement bulletproof webhook handlers with proper verification and retry logic.
Debugging Memory Leaks
The problem
Your app gets slower over time in production.
With Cursor
Cursor can help you search for patterns, but identifying and fixing memory leaks requires deep expertise.
With FML
FML engineers profile your app, identify the leak, and implement a fix.
What founders say
Hear from people who switched from AI-only tools.
“I spent 3 days trying to fix OAuth with AI tools. FML's engineers had it working in 2 hours.”
Sarah Chen
Founder, LaunchPad
“The AI writes code. FML makes sure it actually works in production. That's the difference.”
Marcus Rodriguez
CTO, BuildFast
“Having human engineers as a backstop means I can ship with confidence, not anxiety.”
Emily Park
Solo Founder
Stop debugging. Start shipping.
