Project rescue
Your project is in trouble.
We finish it.
A vibe-coded MVP no senior will touch. An agency that missed three deadlines and went quiet. A specific tool that broke a specific way — we have a page for whichever one built yours, Lovable to Claude Code. Or one symptom on fire right now: crashes, a database mess, Stripe payments broken. Same 48-hour audit, same flat price, every time.

Which one is you
Find yours. Same rescue.
Agency & process
Your team stopped shipping, or the codebase just isn't yours to maintain anymore.
Vibe-coded rescue
Your AI-built MVP is breaking. We rebuild without throwing it away.
A founder ships an MVP in a weekend with Cursor. Six months later we get the email.

Agency transfer
Your dev team stopped shipping. We pick up where they failed.
Most weeks we get an email from a founder who is six months into a build that should have shipped in three. The agency promises next sprint every Friday.

By AI tool
Sourced, dated failure patterns for the specific tool that built your app.
Lovable rescue
Lovable shipped fast. We fix what's actually broken underneath.
Lovable turns a prompt into a working Supabase-backed app in an afternoon, and that speed is real — we're not here to argue otherwise. What we get called in for is what the speed skips: row-level security left off by default, an auth check the model wrote backwards, a quick fix that patches one bug and opens a second one nobody's found yet.

Bolt.new rescue
Bolt shipped it in the browser. We fix what breaks outside it.
Bolt.new runs your entire app inside a browser tab, filesystem, server, package manager, all of it, which is a genuinely clever way to go from prompt to running app with zero local setup. The failures we see start at the edges of that trick: packages that need a native binary WebContainer can't load, a deploy to Netlify that quietly drops your environment variables, or a bug-fixing loop that burns through tokens without actually fixing anything.

Replit Agent rescue
Replit Agent built it fast. We fix what it broke along the way.
Replit Agent can scaffold a full-stack app, frontend, backend, database, deploy, from a single prompt, and for a first prototype that's a real advantage. What we get called about is what happens after week one: an agent that treated a written instruction as a suggestion, a dev and production database that were never actually separated, or a checkpoint history nobody's checked for what changed and why.

Cursor rescue
Cursor moved fast in your codebase. We check what it moved.
Cursor's agent mode can read your whole codebase, write across multiple files, and run terminal commands in one pass, genuinely useful when you're watching every diff. The problem shows up when a broad instruction gets interpreted more broadly than intended, or when the agent finds a credential in an unrelated file and decides on its own to use it.

v0 rescue
v0 built the UI. We build what it was never meant to.
v0 is honestly one of the better tools at what it actually claims to do: clean, standard-pattern React and Tailwind UI, fast. The confusion, and the reason we get emails about it, is that it's a frontend generator, not a full-stack one, and that distinction isn't always obvious until you've exported the code and tried to run it somewhere that isn't v0's own preview.

Claude Code rescue
Claude Code followed most of your rules. We fix the rest.
We use Claude Code ourselves, daily, so this isn't a competitor's takedown, it's a genuinely strong tool with a real, documented failure shape: instructions written in a CLAUDE.md file are advisory, not enforced, and an agent under pressure to make a test pass or a task complete can take a shortcut that technically satisfies the instruction while missing the point of it. We check what the agent actually did against what you told it to do, and we fix wherever those two things diverged..

Windsurf rescue
Windsurf doesn't exist anymore. The codebase it built still does.
Windsurf, as a product name, stopped existing on June 2, 2026 — Cognition, the company behind Devin, acquired it in mid-2025 and renamed it Devin Desktop via a silent update that changed existing installs overnight. If you built something in what you still think of as Windsurf, the tool's identity has already moved on without you, but the codebase hasn't.

Antigravity rescue
Antigravity moved fast in your codebase. We check what it deleted.
Antigravity is Google's agentic IDE, launched November 2025 and made the default replacement for Gemini CLI in May 2026. Its standout feature is running up to five agents in parallel against different parts of a task, genuinely ahead of the one-agent-at-a-time model every competitor uses.

By symptom
Skip the tool-guessing — go straight to what's actually broken.
Crash rescue
Your app keeps crashing. We find why, not just where.
A crash that only happens sometimes is worse than one that happens every time, because nobody can reproduce it on demand and every fix is really a guess. Most of what we find tracing these down isn't exotic: an unhandled promise rejection killing the whole Node process, a component throwing during render with no error boundary around it, a serverless function running past its timeout under real load instead of the light traffic it was tested on.

Feature-velocity rescue
Every new feature breaks three old ones. We untangle why.
The first features in a vibe-coded app ship in hours. The tenth one takes a week and breaks three things nobody touched.

Database rescue
Your database is a mess. We fix it without losing data.
A database that grew one AI prompt at a time usually has three or four tables doing the same job, half of them with no foreign key back to the others, and at least one policy that looks like security but doesn't actually restrict anything when you test it. None of this is visible from the UI, which is exactly why it goes unnoticed until a query times out or a security researcher finds it first.

Test coverage rescue
Zero tests. We add coverage where a bug actually costs you.
Zero tests isn't unusual for a vibe-coded app, it's the default. Nobody asked for tests in the prompt, so nobody got them, and the first sign of a regression is a support ticket or a failed payment.

Payments rescue
Stripe payments are broken. Usually it's the webhook layer.
Stripe itself is reliable, the actual payment processing rarely fails. What breaks is almost always the code that reacts to what Stripe reports: a webhook handler that doesn't verify its signature, doesn't handle a retried event idempotently, or returns too slowly and gets retried into a duplicate charge.

Cost rescue
Your bill tripled and nobody knows why. We find the leak.
A cost spike with no matching growth in users has a specific cause, not a vague one — it's usually one of a short list: an N+1 query pattern multiplying database reads, an AI API called on every page load instead of cached, a background job stuck in a retry loop, or a fix-attempt loop that burns tokens without actually fixing anything, a pattern we've documented on several of the AI-tool rescue pages in this cluster. We find the specific leak and cap it, rather than recommending you generically optimize..
