For founders with an AI-built app that stalled

Your AI app broke. We can fix it.

Vibe coding gets you eighty percent of the way, then stalls on the part that matters: real auth, security, and scale. Senior engineers review what you have, keep what works, and rebuild the rest on code you own.

reviewed by senior engineers

The last 20 percent

The demo worked. Real life did not.

AI wrote something that ran, and for a while it felt like magic. Then the edge cases showed up, the user count climbed, and the parts that were never really engineered started to give way.

That is not a you problem. The tools are built to get you started, not to get you to production. The last twenty percent, the auth, the security, the scale, is exactly where they stop and where a real engineer starts.

Sound familiar?

  • Auth and permissions are wide open
  • It falls over the moment real users arrive
  • A feature you need "cannot be added"
  • A security scan flagged exposed keys or endpoints
  • The code is a tangle no one can safely change
  • You cannot tell what is safe to touch

Talk to an engineer

Stuck at 60% with an AI-built app?

Tell a senior engineer where it broke. You get an honest triage: rescue or rebuild, and what it costs.

Get an honest triage

How the rescue works

Rescue what works. Rebuild what does not.

1

We triage what you have

A senior engineer reviews the codebase and tells you the honest truth: what is salvageable, what is a liability, and whether a rescue or a clean rebuild is the smarter money.

2

We keep what works

Your screens, your data, and the product logic that is sound come across. We do not throw away good work just to bill you for a rewrite.

3

We rebuild the risky parts properly

Auth, payments, and data handling get rebuilt on a hardened, battle-tested core instead of AI-guessed code that only looked like it worked.

4

You get an app you can actually grow

Real, owned code that passes a security review, scales past the wall, and that any senior engineer can pick up and extend.

FAQ

Questions before you hand it over.

Can you fix an app instead of rebuilding the whole thing?

Often, yes. The first thing we do is triage what you have and tell you honestly whether a targeted rescue or a clean rebuild costs you less in the long run. Sometimes the auth and data layer need rebuilding while the rest is fine. We will not talk you into a full rewrite you do not need.

Why do AI-built and no-code apps break like this?

AI and no-code tools get you to roughly eighty percent fast, then stall on the twenty percent that actually matters: real auth, complex logic, performance, and security. The generated code often looks right and passes a demo, but was never engineered to hold up under real users or scrutiny.

My app has a security problem. Is that urgent?

Treat it as urgent. Exposed keys, missing access checks, and injection holes are common in AI-generated code and they put your users and your data at risk. We can review it quickly, tell you what is exposed, and rebuild the vulnerable parts on a foundation with security built in.

Do I own the result?

Yes, completely. Whatever we rescue or rebuild is real source code you own outright, with no platform lock-in and no monthly fee. You can host it yourself or we host it for you.

How fast can you start?

A review can usually happen within a few days, and we will come back with a straight answer and a real quote. If it is a live security issue, we prioritise it.

What is broken?

Tell us what you built it with and what is going wrong. A senior engineer replies with whether to rescue or rebuild, and a real quote, usually within a business day.

We reply within one business day.
