Take Over My AI App
You built something real. Don't hand it to the wrong person.
You shipped an app with Lovable, Bolt, Replit, v0 or Cursor — and it works. Now you need a team to take it over, secure it, and keep building. We're a real studio that inherits AI-built apps every single month — not a freelancer you'll never hear from again.

We take over any AI-built app
It doesn't matter which tool got you here. Most of them generate a React/Next.js + Supabase-style stack — exactly what we build in. We take the export, secure it, and run it to production. Pick your tool for the specifics, or just get a free audit.
Lovable
RLS gaps, exposed Supabase keys, no pipeline.
Replit
Hosting lock-in, chat-as-source-of-truth, handoff gaps.
Bolt.new
Hardcoded secrets in the bundle, no CI/CD.
v0 & Cursor
Great UI, missing the backend, auth and infra.
Bubble & no-code
Outgrown the platform — migrate to real code.
Anything else
Base44, FlutterFlow, Replit Agent — we take it all.
How a takeover works
No big-bang rewrite, no praying it still works on Monday. A calm, reversible process that starts with you keeping control.
01
Secure access
We help you grant access to the code, hosting and domains safely — read-only first where we can, keys rotated where they were exposed. We snapshot everything and work on a copy. Your live app is never the experiment.
02
Free audit
Within 2–3 days you get a written assessment: what's exposed, what's fragile, what's solid, and what it takes to make it production-ready. No cost, no obligation — you keep the report either way.
03
Stabilize
We close the security holes, get it deployed properly, add error handling and monitoring, and give you a clear timeline. The 'bleeding stops' work comes before new features — usually one to two weeks.
04
Keep shipping
With a foundation you can trust, we keep building features on it. And when you're ready to hire in-house, we hand it over clean and documented — not as a black box you can never leave.
What a takeover actually looks like
A real shape of work, not a marketing story. This is roughly what the first two weeks of an inherited Lovable app look like.
Day 1 — Inherited
What we found
- — Row-level security disabled — anyone could read every user's data.
- — A live Supabase service key hardcoded in the frontend bundle.
- — No CI/CD; every change pushed by hand straight to production.
- — No error tracking, no backups, no staging environment.
Two weeks later — Shipped
Where it landed
- — RLS on and tested; the exposed key rotated and moved to a secrets vault.
- — Deployed to production through a real pipeline with staging and rollback.
- — Error tracking and daily database backups running.
- — Two new features shipped — on a foundation we'd actually trust.
This is the core of our software rescue and project takeover work — 50+ apps and counting.
Why a studio beats a freelancer for this
Hiring someone to take over an app you care about is scary for good reasons. Here's every fear we hear — and exactly how we're built to answer it.
01
They'll disappear mid-rescue
The classic freelancer story: someone takes the project, goes quiet, and you're worse off than before — now with half-finished changes and no one who understands them. A studio has more than one person on your app and a contract behind it. We don't vanish.
02
They'll break what already works
Your app makes money or has real users. The fear of handing the keys to someone who pushes straight to production is rational. We work on a safe copy first, review every change, and never deploy without your sign-off.
03
They'll quietly make it worse
Unreviewed code from a stranger is how you inherit a second mess on top of the first. Everything we ship goes through code review and gets documented — so the codebase gets cleaner as we go, not more tangled.
04
You'll be locked in forever
Some shops make themselves impossible to replace on purpose. We do the opposite: clean code, real docs, and a deliberate hand-off when you're ready to hire in-house. Owning your own app is the goal, not the threat.

Frequently Asked
I built something real. How do I know you won't break it?
We never touch your live app blind. The first thing we do is take a full snapshot — code, database, deploy config — and stand up a safe copy. The free audit and every early fix happen there. Nothing reaches production until you've seen the written assessment and approved the plan. Your working app stays working the whole time.
Why hire a studio instead of a freelancer for this?
Inheriting someone else's AI-generated code is exactly where a single freelancer is riskiest. One person can disappear, hold the only knowledge, or quietly rewrite things no one reviewed. We run every change through code review, document as we go, and there's always more than one person who understands your app. And when you want to bring it in-house, a studio can hand off cleanly — a freelancer just leaves.
What do you actually need access to?
The code repo (or the export from Lovable, Bolt, Replit, etc.), the database/hosting (Supabase, Vercel, Netlify, Railway), and your domain/DNS. We'll walk you through granting access safely — read-only first where possible — and rotate any keys that were exposed. If you only have a tool login and no real repo, we help you get the code out first.
What happens after you take it over — am I locked in?
The opposite. We keep shipping features for as long as it's useful, but the goal is always a clean hand-off. When you're ready to hire in-house, you get documented code, a real pipeline, and a team you can interview against — not a black box. Several of our takeovers have graduated to their own in-house teams.
How much does it cost to take over my AI app?
The audit and written assessment are free (2–3 days). Stabilization and takeover — closing security holes, getting it deployed properly, and getting you shipping again — typically runs ₹2L–₹6L for one to two weeks of work. Larger builds and ongoing engineering are scoped after the audit. Fixed-price, so you know the number before we start.
