Security & data-access audit
Authentication, database rules, exposed keys and permissions checked first, since these are where AI-built apps most often fail.
Overview
Getting to a demo is fast now. Getting to production still isn't.
AI coding tools can take an idea to a working prototype in a weekend, and that's genuinely useful. The trouble starts when real users arrive: authentication that anyone can bypass, database rules left wide open, API keys shipped to the browser, no tests, and a codebase nobody fully understands because nobody fully wrote it. The same pattern shows up in AI features that were bolted on quickly, answers that are right most of the time, costs that climb with every user, and prompts no one dares to touch.
We start with an audit rather than a rewrite: security, data access, architecture, performance and deployment, with each problem ranked by how much it matters. Then we fix what's needed to launch safely, add the tests and monitoring that were skipped, and hand back a codebase your team, or your AI tools, can keep building on. Where a rebuild really is the cheaper option, we'll say so plainly.

What's included
From working demo to something you can put customers on
Ranked list of issues
Every problem named, explained and ranked, so you know what has to be fixed before launch and what can wait.
Fixes, tests & refactoring
The launch blockers fixed, tests added around the critical paths, and the worst of the tangled code made maintainable.
Production deployment & monitoring
Proper environments, backups, error tracking and cost alerts, so problems surface to you before they reach users.
Questions
Common questions about rescuing AI-built apps
4 questions
Our app was built with Lovable / Bolt / Cursor. Can you work on it?
Yes. These tools mostly generate standard React, Next.js, Supabase or Firebase code, which is what we work in every day. Export the code or give us repository access and we'll start with the audit.
Will you need to rewrite everything?
Usually not. Most AI-built apps have a reasonable structure with a handful of serious problems, typically security rules, data handling and error states. We fix those first and only recommend a rebuild when the foundations can't be saved.
Can we keep using AI tools after you've cleaned it up?
Yes, and we'll set things up so that's safer: clearer structure, tests that catch regressions, and notes your AI tools can read so new code follows the same patterns.
Our AI chatbot or feature gives inconsistent answers. Is that the same service?
Yes. Unreliable AI features usually come down to a prompt doing too much, retrieval returning irrelevant content, or messy source data. We trace which one it is and fix that, rather than swapping models and hoping.

Not ready for a full brief? Send a question and a developer who works on this will answer it, usually within one business day. No sales call, no obligation.
Already have designs or a scope? Send a full project brief instead.
Ready to get started?
Send us the app and what's going wrong.
Share the repository or export and a short note on what's broken or worrying you, and we'll come back with a fixed-price audit, then a fixed estimate for the fixes.
If the first milestone doesn't match the brief, we'll revise it at no extra cost.
From $299, fixed before we start. NDA signed before we see anything.
