Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work with XPikTech encompassed the comprehensive development of our product, beginning with the creation of a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to validate our concept. MVP included the next solutions: WordPress client plugin, WordPress Back-end web service, and REST API. This involved thorough planning, design, and implementation phases, with a focus on user experience and functionality. 

Key deliverables included conceptualization and wireframing, development of core features and functionalities using technologies such as PHP, WordPress, JavaScript integration of necessary APIs (DALL-E 3, ChatGPT 4, and others) and third-party services, rigorous testing and quality assurance, as well as the deployment and ongoing support of the product. 

As our collaboration progressed, the scope expanded to encompass the development of the full product, incorporating additional features, new JavaScript back-end, and enhancements based on user feedback and evolving business requirements.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

XPikTech developed the design of the plugin, developed the MVP, and after successfully testing the MVP, this team developed for us a fully functional version of the plugin for WordPress, as well as a Node.js / Strapi server for it. Subsequently, they transferred everything necessary (code base, knowledge about the project, etc.) to our internal team to continue further development of the project.
