Rescue and harden your AI-built app
You built something with a tool like Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0, ChatGPT or Claude, and it mostly works. We make it safe to put in front of real users.
Signs your AI-built app is not ready yet
- It works in the demo but breaks with real data or more than a handful of users.
- API keys or other secrets are sitting in the code or visible in the browser.
- You are not sure login and permissions are actually enforced, only that they look right.
- Changing one thing breaks another, and nobody, including the AI, can say why.
- There are no tests, no backups and no way to see when something fails.
- Payments, personal data or customer records are involved.
- Deployment is manual, or it only works on one person’s machine.
If two or more sound familiar, the app is worth a review before you rely on it.
What we review and fix
Reliability
Error handling, edge cases, data integrity and backups, so one bad request does not take it down.
Code structure
Making the code understandable and changeable, so you are not afraid to touch it.
Performance and cost
Slow queries, wasteful API and AI usage, and hosting bills that grow faster than your users.
Testing and monitoring
Automated tests for the flows that matter, plus alerts so you hear about problems before customers do.
Deployment
A repeatable, documented way to ship changes safely.
How a rescue works
- 01Audit
A read-only review of your code and setup. You get written findings, ranked by risk.
- 02Plan
A clear recommendation to fix or rebuild, with a fixed scope, timeline and price agreed up front.
- 03Harden
We fix the problems and add tests and monitoring. Every change is reviewed by an engineer, with AI-assisted checks on top.
- 04Launch and hand over
Safe deployment, documentation and, if you want it, ongoing support.
Fix it or rebuild it?
Usually fix
When the data model, login and overall structure are sound. Fixing is faster and cheaper, and keeps what already works.
Sometimes rebuild the risky parts
When the foundations are unsound, patching wastes money. We replace only the parts that need it and keep the rest.
Our promise: we recommend whichever is genuinely better for you, even when that is the smaller job.
What you get
- A risk-ranked audit report in plain language
- Fixes committed to your own repository
- Automated tests and monitoring for the critical paths
- Deployment setup and handover documentation
The code is yours throughout. Nothing changes in production without your approval.
Questions about rescuing AI-built apps
Can you fix an app built with Lovable, Cursor, Bolt, Replit, v0, ChatGPT or Claude?
Yes. The tool does not matter, because we review and fix the code itself. We work from code produced by AI builders and assistants, find what is unsafe or fragile, and turn it into software you can launch with confidence.
How do I know if my AI-built app is secure?
You cannot tell from a demo. Typical weak spots are secret keys left in the code, missing checks on who may see or change data, unvalidated input and outdated dependencies. A rescue audit gives you a written, risk-ranked answer instead of a guess.
Is it cheaper to fix my app or rebuild it?
If the foundations, such as the data model and login, are sound, fixing is usually cheaper and faster. If they are not, patching wastes money. We decide after the audit, and we will recommend whichever is genuinely better for you, even if it is the smaller job.
How long does a rescue take?
It depends on the size of the app and how much needs fixing. We start with an audit, then give you a fixed scope and timeline in writing before any fixing begins, so there are no open-ended hours.
What access do you need to my code and accounts?
Read access to your repository, and read-only access to hosting and databases where possible. We never need your personal passwords, and nothing changes in production without your approval.
