AI Code Rescue - we fix vibe-coded and AI-generated apps
It works in the demo. It works in production.
You built it fast with Lovable, Bolt, v0, Cursor, or Claude. Now it needs to survive real users, real data, and real attackers. That's where we come in.
You know something's off. You just can't see where.
-
The demo impressed everyone. Then real users found the edge cases.
week one after launch -
Adding one feature quietly breaks two others. Nobody knows why.
the codebase nobody has read -
Your AI assistant says "You're absolutely right!" - then reintroduces the same bug.
see exhibit below -
A developer looked at your repo and quoted a full rewrite.
there is a cheaper answer -
You're not sure your API keys, user data, or payment flow are actually secure.
the 3 a.m. question -
Costs keep climbing: API calls, hosting, patches on top of patches.

Building with AI was the right call.
Let's be clear. Using AI to build your product was smart. You validated an idea in days instead of months and spent a fraction of a traditional budget. AI got you 80% of the way there.
The problem is the remaining 20%. Security, stability, and maintainability. The part that decides whether your app survives contact with the real world. That 20% is what we do.
No rewrites-by-default. No lectures. We keep what works, fix what doesn't, and show you the difference.
It's not just your app.
Measured across millions of commits and thousands of live apps. None of this is about you.
45 %

Veracode, 100+ models tested + 81 %
more duplicated code blocks than in 2023, the highest level ever recorded
GitClear, 600M+ commitsJuly 2025: an AI agent wiped a production database during a code freeze. The same month, 72,000 private photos leaked through one missing access rule. Different apps, same root cause: nobody read the code.
what we typically find
Six findings. Watch them resolve.
Pulled from real audits of AI-built apps. The pattern is always fixable.
Anyone logged in can read anyone's data.
src/api/orders.ts
finding 2 / 6
-
app.get("/api/orders/:id", auth, async (req, res) => { -
const order = await db.orders.find(req.params.id); -

-
app.get("/api/orders/:id", auth, async (req, res) => { -
const order = await db.orders.find(req.params.id); -
if (order?.userId !== req.user.id) return res.sendStatus(404); -
res.json(order); -

AI codes like a very fast junior developer who never got a security review.
We're the review.
Rescue is whatever your app needs first.
Every engagement starts with the audit. Then we fix in priority order, and you see the diff for every change.
Security audit & hardening
Exposed API keys, missing authorization checks, injection-prone endpoints, database rules that let anyone read everything. We find the holes before someone else does.
Code review & refactor
We untangle duplicated logic, dead code, and dependencies that don't actually exist, and turn the codebase into something a human developer can understand and extend.
Performance optimization
AI-generated code is rarely written for speed. We've taken client frontends from 6-second to 0.2-second load times. Your app gets the same discipline.
Finish & ship
Project stalled at 80%? We take over, close the gap, and carry it to launch.
Prototype-to-stack migration
When the prototype platform becomes the bottleneck, we migrate your app to a maintainable stack you fully own. Nuxt, Node, Laravel, or WordPress.
Ongoing maintenance
After the rescue, we can stay on board: pre-paid hourly packages, a dedicated project manager, and detailed reports.
We use AI every day. That's how we know where it fails.
We're not anti-AI developers rolling their eyes at your repo. We use AI in our own workflow every day and built our own internal tools with it. We know exactly what AI-assisted coding does brilliantly and exactly where it fails. Behind that sits 15+ years of building software for startups, agencies, and SaaS companies worldwide.

step 01
Talk, then read access
Fill out the form and schedule a free consultation. Give us read access to your repository. We'll sign an NDA first if you need one.
-
step 02
Audit and rescue plan
We audit the code and send you a prioritized rescue plan: what's critical, what can wait, and a transparent estimate for each part.
-
step 03
Fix, harden, ship
We do the work and carry it to launch. If you want, we stay on board for maintenance and new features.
Answers before the first call.
the question people ask first
Will you judge how the code was built?
No. You shipped something real and put it in front of users. Most ideas never get that far. We build with AI ourselves, and in 15 years of taking over projects we've seen scarier things written by hand. The only judgment you'll hear from us is what to fix first and why.
Do we need a full rewrite?
Usually not. We keep what works and replace only what doesn't. If a rewrite genuinely is cheaper than repair, we'll show you the math and let you decide.
Which tools and stacks do you cover?
Apps built with Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, and similar platforms, plus codebases written with Cursor, Copilot, or Claude. Stack-wise: Vue, Nuxt, React, Node, Laravel, WordPress, and WooCommerce.
Can you just audit without fixing anything?
Yes. A standalone audit ends with a written report you can act on with any team, including your own.
Who owns the code afterward?
You do. Full source code, documentation, and deployment instructions. Everything we write is 100% yours.
How do you charge?
The same transparent model as all our services: a detailed estimate up front, then fixed price for defined scopes or pre-paid hourly packages for ongoing work. Payments in USD, EUR, or PLN.
Do you sign NDAs?
Yes. Just ask, and we'll send our standard template before you share anything.
AI got you this far. Humans take it from here.
One conversation is enough to know where you stand.
Tell us what you built.
Share what the app does and what's worrying you. We'll review the context and get back to you with a clear next step.
