Vibe coding repair — we fix AI-generated apps that broke in production.
Tried vibe coding and the result is broken, insecure, or unusable? You are not alone. We take AI-generated codebases, audit them for security and architecture issues, fix the problems, add proper design and testing, and make them production-ready.

The "last 5%" problem with vibe coding
AI tools like Cursor and Replit can get you to 80–95% of a working app very quickly. The remaining 5–20% is where things break: unhandled edge cases, SQL injection vulnerabilities, missing authentication checks, broken state management, untested payment flows, and UI that looks fine on one screen size but breaks on others. This is the gap we fix.
What we audit and fix
Security: authentication bypass, injection vulnerabilities, exposed API keys, missing rate limiting, insecure data storage. Architecture: spaghetti code, circular dependencies, missing error handling, no separation of concerns, database schema issues. Performance: N+1 queries, memory leaks, unoptimized renders, missing caching. UX/UI: broken responsive layouts, accessibility failures, inconsistent design, poor user flows. Testing: we add the tests AI forgot to write.
How vibe coding repair works
Step 1: You share your codebase (GitHub, zip, or any method). Step 2: We run a comprehensive audit — security scan, architecture review, performance profiling, UX review. Step 3: You receive a detailed audit report with every issue categorized by severity and effort. Step 4: You decide what to fix. We can fix everything, fix only critical issues, or hand the report to another team. Most audits are completed in 3–5 business days.
Common vibe coding failures we see
Missing authentication on API routes (anyone can access any data). Hardcoded API keys in frontend code. No input validation (SQL injection, XSS). Payment flows that can be bypassed. State management that loses data on refresh. No error boundaries (one crash takes down the whole app). Missing loading and error states. No tests at all — zero coverage.
Fixed-fee audit — no surprises
Our vibe coding audit starts from $500 for small projects (under 20 screens). You get a complete written report with every issue, severity rating, estimated fix time, and recommendations. No hourly billing surprises. If you want us to fix the issues, we quote the repair separately — typically $1,500–$8,000 depending on scope.
What clients say

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- How much does a vibe coding audit cost?
- Fixed-fee audit starts from $500 for small projects. Medium projects (20–50 screens) typically $800–$1,500. You get a detailed report before any repair work begins.
- Can you fix apps built with any AI tool?
- Yes. We fix apps built with Cursor, Replit, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Lovable, v0, Bolt, and any other AI coding tool. The issues are similar regardless of which AI generated the code.
- How long does repair take?
- Audit: 3–5 business days. Repair: 1–4 weeks depending on severity and scope. Critical security fixes can be done in days.
- Should I throw away my vibe-coded app and start over?
- Usually not. Most AI-generated codebases have a solid foundation — the issues are in the details. Repair is almost always cheaper and faster than rebuilding from scratch. We will tell you honestly if a rebuild makes more sense.
- What if I want to keep building with AI after repair?
- Great — that is the smart approach. We fix the foundation, add tests and security, and set up proper architecture. Then you (or we) can continue using AI tools safely on a solid base. We can also set up code review processes so future AI-generated code gets checked before deployment.
- Is it safe to hire you?
- Yes. We work through Upwork with escrow payment protection — you pay only when you approve the audit and repair work. Check our reviews on Upwork and our portfolio at teamzlab.com/portfolio.
