AI engineering advisory for companies shipping with coding agents

I help leadership teams turn AI-assisted development from a demo into a durable capability — without burning down trust, security, or the roadmap. Book a free initial consultation to scope the work.

Who I work with

Founders and product leaders who are betting on AI coding agents and want to avoid expensive rewrites, security incidents, or stalled launches.
Engineering leaders rolling out Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or in-house agents and trying to keep velocity gains without losing engineering discipline.
Trust, safety, and risk teams who inherited AI-generated systems and need to understand what they actually have in production.

How I help

AI strategy, risk & opportunity assessments

A focused review of where AI can compound your team's leverage, where it is quietly accumulating risk, and the concrete next moves. Outputs are written for both executives and engineers.

Safe vibecoding adoption

Practical guardrails for teams using coding agents day-to-day: constraint capture, pre-mortems, review workflows, and the engineering habits that keep AI-generated code production-ready.

Technical due diligence on AI-built systems

Independent reviews of AI-assisted codebases — security posture, scalability, operational risk, and the gap between what the demo shows and what production can actually carry.

Fractional AI engineering leadership

Ongoing advisory for teams that need a senior voice in the room as they design agent-driven workflows, ship critical features, and make platform bets.

Background

I'm Kyle Grove, founder of VibeKiln and creator of Cutline. I've spent years building and leading AI systems in trust-and-safety environments at companies like eBay, LivePerson, and Upwork — environments where the gap between “works in a demo” and “survives real users” is brutally expensive.

VibeKiln is the company built around closing that gap. Advisory is how I work directly with leadership teams who can't wait for the playbook to be public.

Free initial consultation

The first call is a 30-minute Initial AI Strategy, Risk & Opportunity Assessment. We'll map your current AI surface, the highest-leverage moves, and the risks worth taking seriously — at no cost, no obligation.
