Everything you need to know about TALON_CODE.
// General & Core Concept
Q: What is Taloncode?
A: Taloncode is The Managed Micro-Task Marketplace for the AI-Native Creator. It is designed to bridge the gap between AI-generated software and production-level engineering. It functions as a platform connecting app creators who get stuck using AI tools with human developers who can unblock them by handling small, well-defined tasks.
Q: When should I use Taloncode?
A: You should use Taloncode when you hit the "Point of No Return". This usually happens about 90% through a project when the "Vibe" breaks, and common technical issues like authentication loops or database migration failures arise. We focus entirely on the "Delta"—the difference between your existing code and your final vision.
Q: Who fixes my code: AI or a human?
A: Real human developers (the "Talon") fix your code. While you use AI (Vibe Coding) to build the bulk of your project, our human experts step in to resolve specific bugs or implement complex logic that the AI struggles with.
// Tasks & Pricing
Q: Why do you break projects into small tasks?
A: Breaking large problems into small tasks (e.g., 15-20 minutes of work) is generally faster and significantly cheaper than hiring a traditional freelancer for a "whole project" rate, especially since Vibe Coders often struggle to define clear milestones.
Q: Is the price I set for a task fixed?
A: No, the price is a starting point in our bid-based model. You or Taloncode's AI Architect set a suggested price, but a developer can send an offer to complete the task at that price or make a counter-offer (lower or higher), explaining any suggested scope reduction or increase.
Q: What exactly am I paying for?
A: You are paying for access to a marketplace of verified developers and a simplified payment infrastructure where we handle the contract via Stripe. You are also paying for the certainty that your task is scoped correctly.
Q: How does Taloncode charge developers?
A: We do not charge a commission on the job itself. We utilize a credit/subscription model, and the only external charges are standard payment processing fees (e.g., Stripe).
// Technology & Workflow
Q: How does Taloncode use AI?
A: Talon has an optional Architect AI Agent feature. This intelligence layer analyzes your codebase and compares it to your vision to calculate the Delta. The Agent then generates measurable tasks (milestones) and suggests optimal pricing for each task, transforming your "Vibe" into clear "Tech Specs".
Q: How do I share my project's code?
A: We support uploads via Github Repositories, Zip files, and individual file uploads. If you use platforms like Lovable or Replit that make exporting code difficult, we provide a dedicated guide to help you extract your code regardless of your plan tier.
Q: What is the "Architect"?
A: The Architect is the Senior Intelligence Layer or "Protocol". It acts as the translation layer between the Creator's vision and the Developer's code. Its function is to ingest the creator's input, isolate the bug, and output a standardized Mission Brief with a clear Definition of Done for the developer.
