Fix your Lovable, Bolt or AI-built app

When the prototype stops being enough

Tools like Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, Replit and v0 can turn an idea into a working demo in days. Problems usually appear when real users arrive:

• Sign-in, permissions or data rules that are not secure.
• Payments, emails or integrations that work in the demo but fail in production.
• Every new prompt breaks something that used to work.
• The app is slow, or costs far more to run than expected.
• Nobody can explain how the code works or how to deploy it.
• You need a mobile app, or an App Store release, and the tool can’t get you there.

How we fix an AI-built app

1. Review: we read the code, database, hosting and accounts, then give you a written report on what is wrong and what is worth keeping.
2. Secure the basics: authentication, data access rules, secrets and backups come first.
3. Fix or rebuild by agreement: targeted fixes where the code is sound; a rebuild of the parts that are not, only when it is genuinely the cheaper path.
4. Hand over properly: code in your own repository, documentation and deployment steps, so you are never locked in.

A real example: Shielder

Shielder reached us as a broken, AI-generated prototype built with Lovable. We diagnosed what was wrong and guided the project through its initial phase. By agreement, the admin panel, the iOS and Android apps and the web experience were then rebuilt from scratch as a production product.

Keep using AI tools if you like

You don’t have to stop using Lovable or Bolt. Many teams keep using them for early ideas and screens, and have engineers make the production version safe and maintainable. We can set up that workflow with you.

Frequently asked questions

Can you fix an app built with Lovable?

Yes. Shielder began as a Lovable prototype. We review what the tool produced, fix what is unsafe or broken, and rebuild only the parts that can’t be saved, by agreement.

Do you also fix apps built with Bolt, Cursor, Replit or v0?

Yes. The tool matters less than the code it produced. We review the code, database and hosting the same way, whatever generated it.

Do we have to rebuild everything?

Not necessarily. Many AI-built apps need targeted fixes rather than a rewrite. The review tells us which, and we recommend a rebuild only when it is genuinely the cheaper path.

Can you turn our AI-built web app into an iOS and Android app?

Yes. We can build mobile apps that use the same accounts and data, and publish them under your own App Store and Google Play accounts.

How much does it cost to fix an AI-built app?

It depends on what the review finds: how much of the code is sound, the integrations involved and whether parts need rebuilding. We send a written estimate after the review.
