You described what you wanted, the AI built it, and it works. Mostly. Now there are real users, or there are about to be, and the questions have changed: is the data secure, what happens when it breaks at night, why did the last change take down two other features, and who do you call. We are the developer you call.
Twenty years building production web apps. Fixed quotes in writing before any work starts.
Founders and businesses who built something real with Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Cursor, or Claude, and hit the wall the tools do not mention. The signs are consistent:
Four ways in, depending on where the app stands today.
A fixed-fee review of your app: security configuration, data protection, code health, and infrastructure. You get a plain-language report of what is solid, what is fragile, and what to fix first, with a quote for the work.
When the app is broken, stuck, or leaking, we take over the repo, reproduce the problems, and fix them properly, with tests so they stay fixed.
Hosting under your control, custom domain, transactional email that reaches inboxes, monitoring, backups with tested restores, and a deploy process that will not break checkout on a Friday.
The retainer: we watch the app, apply updates, verify backups, handle fixes, and keep shipping improvements, AI-assisted with the guardrails that make it safe. You keep building, or we do, or both.
Send us read access to the repository, or the platform’s share link, plus two paragraphs on what the app does and where it stands.
We audit the app and come back within a few days with a plain-language report and a fixed quote, in writing, before any work starts.
If the app is down or leaking data right now, say so in the form below and skip the paragraphs. Revenue-down and data-exposure situations go first.
We have been building and maintaining custom web applications for twenty years, and we use AI in our own development every day, so we neither worship the tools nor sneer at them. The work is the same production discipline we apply to everything we build: your accounts, your code, your data, documented so you are never dependent on us. We keep what works, fix what does not, and only recommend a rebuild when the audit genuinely supports it.

No. The platforms export standard code, most support two-way GitHub sync, and hosting elsewhere does not end your ability to keep prompting. We frequently harden and host apps while the owner keeps building on the platform.
Rarely, and never as a reflex. The audit decides. Most AI-built apps are standard React and Node code on a standard database, and rescue costs a fraction of rebuilding. When a rebuild is the honest answer, the report explains exactly why.
Market context for 2026: production audits run $500 to $1,000, stabilization work typically lands in the low to mid four figures, and monthly support plans start around a few hundred dollars. Your quote comes with the audit, in writing, before any work starts.
Yes. It is code. AI-generated apps use the same frameworks and databases we work in daily, and the common problems (missing tests, loose security rules, duplicated logic) are the same ones we have been fixing in human-written codebases for years.
Revenue-down and data-exposure situations jump the queue. Contact us with the domain and what is happening, and include repo access if you can, because it usually cuts the diagnosis time in half.
Two paragraphs on what the app does and where it stands is enough. If it is down or leaking data right now, say so and skip the paragraphs.
