Vibe Coded App Takeover
You built it with AI. We make it production-ready.
We audit, secure and clean up AI-generated codebases, then keep shipping features on top. No rewrite unless it is needed.

What we find in most AI-built codebases
AI tools write code that works in a demo. These are the patterns that break once real users and real data arrive.

You can stop after the audit. Most clients continue because the report makes the next step obvious.
Get a Free AuditFree audit
We read the code, the database rules and the deployment setup, then walk you through what we found on a call.
- Security and data exposure check
- Ranked list of bugs and risks
- Keep, refactor or rebuild call per area
- Fixed quote for the next step
Stabilize
We fix the risky parts first so you can keep selling while we work.
- Secrets moved server-side, access rules locked
- Critical bugs fixed with tests around them
- Duplicated code merged
- CI/CD and error monitoring set up
Maintain and expand
A monthly plan where we own the codebase: fixes, upgrades and new features on a steady cadence.
- Weekly releases
- New features built on clean foundations
- Dependency and security updates
- You keep full ownership of the code
We keep what works. Your users, your data and the features they already use stay live while we fix what is underneath.
Questions about takeovers
Not covered here? Email hello@eqvilabs.com.
What is a vibe coded app?
An app built mostly by prompting AI tools such as Cursor, Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Replit. These apps get to a demo fast but often have security gaps, duplicated logic and bugs that are hard to fix with more prompting.
What does the takeover include?
A free project audit, then stabilization: security fixes, bug fixes, cleanup of duplicated code, tests on critical flows and proper deployment. After that we maintain the app and add features.
Do you rewrite the app from scratch?
Rarely. We keep what works and refactor the rest step by step, so your users see no downtime.
How long does the audit take?
Usually a few working days, depending on the size of the codebase. You get a written report and a walkthrough call.
Can I keep using AI tools after the takeover?
Yes. We set up tests, linting and clear structure so AI-assisted changes are safer, and we review what gets merged.
