AI Code Gone Wrong?

Your AI Built It. We Make It Actually Work.

You used Cursor, Claude, ChatGPT, or Bolt.new to build something. It almost works. But the login breaks. The design looks different on every page. You're not sure if your API keys are exposed. And deployment is a nightmare.

These aren't random bugs — they're the 7 structural problems AI always creates. We've catalogued them, and we fix all of them.

Does This Sound Like Your Project?

AI coding tools get you 80% there. The last 20% is where projects go to die.

Stuck on Cryptic Errors

The AI gave you code, but now there's a wall of red errors you can't decipher.

"Works on My Machine"

It runs locally but fails completely when you try to deploy or share it.

Spaghetti Code Chaos

Multiple AI sessions have created a tangled mess that even the AI can't fix.

Security Time Bombs

API keys in your repo, no rate limiting, user data flowing unprotected.

Auth That Half-Works

Login looks fine but sessions expire randomly, OAuth breaks, routes aren't protected.

Frankensteined Design

Every page looks like it was built by a different person — because it was different AI conversations.

The 7 Pillars of Vibe Code Failure

AI doesn't write bad code on purpose. It writes code in isolation — no memory of the last prompt, no holistic view of your project, no concept of your brand. These are the 7 structural problems that every AI-generated codebase accumulates.

Pillar 1

Security & Secrets

AI doesn't think about who's watching.

AI tools generate code that works — but almost never generate code that's safe. The result is apps with API keys sitting in plain text, user data flowing unprotected, and attack vectors a script kiddie could exploit. Most vibe-coded apps we audit fail on 5+ of these.

Recognize Any of These?

  • API keys and secrets hardcoded in source files
  • No rate limiting on login or API endpoints
  • User input passed directly to database queries
  • Passwords stored in plain text or weak hashing
  • CORS set to allow-all (*) in production
  • No CSRF protection on forms
  • JWT tokens that never expire
  • Admin routes accessible without authentication

After We Fix It

Secrets secured, inputs validated, routes locked, attack surface eliminated. You'll pass a real security review.

Pillar 2

Authentication & Protected Routes

The login "works" — until it doesn't.

Auth is the #1 place where AI code breaks in the real world. The AI builds a login page that looks right, but sessions don't persist, OAuth callbacks fail silently, middleware skips pages, and "protected" routes are anything but. These issues are invisible until a real user hits them.

Recognize Any of These?

  • Login works locally but breaks after deployment
  • Users get logged out randomly mid-session
  • OAuth callback URLs misconfigured or hardcoded
  • Protected pages briefly flash content before redirecting
  • Middleware not covering all protected routes
  • Role-based access that doesn't actually check roles
  • "Forgot password" flow that sends tokens that never validate
  • Session cookies not set as httpOnly or secure

After We Fix It

Auth that works in every environment. Sessions that persist. Routes that are actually protected. Password flows that complete end-to-end.

Pillar 3

UI/UX Consistency

Every page looks like it was built by a different person. It was — different AI conversations.

Each AI prompt generates components in isolation. There's no memory of what the last page looked like. Spacing is different on every screen. Buttons change size and shape. Forms validate differently. Mobile looks broken. Loading states are missing. Error handling is nonexistent. Users notice, even if they can't articulate it.

Recognize Any of These?

  • Spacing and padding different on every page
  • Buttons that are 4 different sizes across the app
  • Forms with no validation, or validation that's inconsistent
  • Responsive layout breaks on tablet or small screens
  • No loading indicators — users stare at blank screens
  • Error states that crash the page instead of showing a message
  • Modals and dropdowns that don't close on outside click
  • Navigation that works differently between sections
  • Scroll position resets randomly on page changes
  • Touch targets too small for mobile use

After We Fix It

An app that feels like one product, not a patchwork. Consistent spacing, responsive layouts, proper loading and error states everywhere.

Pillar 4

Branding & Design System Drift

Your app looks like a Frankenstein of 5 different websites.

AI has no concept of your brand. Every conversation starts from zero. The homepage might use one color palette, the dashboard another, and the settings page a third. Fonts change. Border radii change. Shadow depths change. There's no design system — just an accumulation of one-off AI decisions that make your product look amateur.

Recognize Any of These?

  • Multiple color palettes competing across pages
  • Font families and weights that change between sections
  • Border radius varies from sharp to pill-shaped randomly
  • Shadow and elevation styles inconsistent
  • Icon styles mixed (outlined, filled, different libraries)
  • Component styling doesn't match between light and dark mode
  • Logo and brand assets placed inconsistently
  • Empty state illustrations that don't match your visual language

After We Fix It

A unified visual identity with a design token system your AI tools can actually reference in future prompts. One app, one brand.

Pillar 5

Data & State Management

Your database works by accident. Your state works by luck.

AI generates database schemas that look reasonable but crumble under real use. Foreign keys are missing. Indexes don't exist. There are no migrations, so you can't evolve the schema without breaking everything. On the frontend, state is scattered — some in React state, some in context, some just re-fetched on every render. It's a house of cards.

Recognize Any of These?

  • Database schema with no foreign keys or relationships
  • Missing indexes — queries slow down as data grows
  • No migration files — schema changes require nuking the database
  • N+1 query problems loading related data
  • Client and server state out of sync after mutations
  • Race conditions when multiple requests fire simultaneously
  • No optimistic updates — UI freezes waiting for server response
  • Stale data shown after create/update/delete operations
  • No pagination — loading entire tables into memory

After We Fix It

A database that scales, queries that stay fast, state that syncs, and a migration system so you can evolve your schema without fear.

Pillar 6

Deployment & Environment

It works on localhost. That's where the good news ends.

The gap between "running on my machine" and "live on the internet" is where most vibe-coded projects die. Environment variables aren't set. Build commands fail silently. Database connections point to localhost. CORS blocks everything. And there's no staging environment to catch problems before users see them.

Recognize Any of These?

  • Build succeeds locally, fails on Vercel/Netlify/Railway
  • Environment variables missing or misconfigured in production
  • Database URL still pointing to localhost in deployed app
  • CORS errors blocking all API calls in production
  • Static assets loading from wrong paths
  • No .env.example file — unclear which vars are needed
  • Websocket connections that silently fail in production
  • No error monitoring — problems discovered by users, not you

After We Fix It

Deployed, live, and monitored. With a staging environment, proper CI/CD, and error tracking so you know about problems before your users do.

Pillar 7

Architecture & Technical Debt

Adding a feature now breaks two others.

AI doesn't refactor. Every prompt adds more code on top of what already exists. Components grow to 500+ lines. Business logic lives in UI components. There's duplicated code everywhere. No tests, no types at boundaries, no error handling strategy. The codebase becomes a minefield where every change carries risk.

Recognize Any of These?

  • God components with 400+ lines of mixed concerns
  • Same logic copy-pasted across multiple files
  • Business rules embedded directly in UI components
  • No TypeScript types at API boundaries
  • Zero test coverage — nothing catches regressions
  • Circular import dependencies
  • No error handling — unhandled promise rejections everywhere
  • Import statements that pull from 6 different UI libraries
  • No consistent file/folder structure or naming convention

After We Fix It

A codebase you can actually build on. Clean separation of concerns, proper typing, error handling, and a structure that makes the next feature easier — not harder.

Before & After Rescue

Not just “it works now” — a fundamentally different quality of code.

Before Rescue

  • Build fails with walls of cryptic errors
  • API keys hardcoded in source files
  • Login breaks after deployment
  • Different visual style on every page
  • No loading states — blank screens while data loads
  • Database queries that get slower every day
  • Deployment fails on every platform you try
  • Adding features breaks existing ones
  • Zero tests, zero confidence shipping changes

After Rescue

  • Clean builds, zero errors, zero warnings
  • All secrets in environment variables, properly managed
  • Auth works in every environment with proper session handling
  • Consistent design system with unified spacing and colors
  • Loading states, error boundaries, and empty states everywhere
  • Indexed queries, proper relationships, migrations in place
  • Deployed and live with staging environment for testing
  • Clean architecture — changes don't cause chain reactions
  • Documentation of what was fixed and why

This Problem Is Growing. Fast.

More people are building with AI than ever before. These structural gaps aren't going away — they're becoming the #1 technical problem of 2026.

73%

of developers use AI tools

GitHub's developer survey shows AI coding assistants are mainstream. Every new project is partially AI-generated.

10M+

non-developers building apps

Tools like Bolt.new, v0, and Lovable have enabled a wave of founders and creators shipping code they can't debug.

40%

of AI code has security issues

Stanford research found AI-generated code contains vulnerabilities at significantly higher rates than human-written code.

Security debt compounds

Every exposed API key, unprotected route, and unsanitized input is a liability waiting to be exploited. The longer you wait, the bigger the blast radius.

Design drift accelerates

Every new AI conversation adds another visual style. Without a design system as a reference point, your app gets harder to make consistent — not easier.

Need ongoing support as you build? The Co-Pilot plan keeps your code clean in real-time.
