Can you repair an application created with ChatGPT, Codex, Claude, Cursor, or another AI tool?
Yes. The important issue is not which AI tool generated the code. The first step is determining whether the repository has a usable architecture, whether it can be built consistently, and what is required to make it reliable.
Do I need to know exactly what is broken?
No. The technical assessment is designed for clients who know the project is failing but cannot identify the cause.
Can you guarantee that every project can be rescued?
No. Some codebases are more expensive to repair than rebuild. The purpose of the initial assessment is to determine the most practical option before you spend more money.
Can you take over an abandoned project?
Yes, provided you have legal access to the repository, hosting accounts, app store accounts, domains, services, and other required assets.
Can you submit an app to the Apple App Store or Google Play?
HerbDev can help prepare builds, resolve submission blockers, review required settings, and guide or assist with the release process. You must own and control the appropriate developer accounts.
Will you sign a nondisclosure agreement?
NDA requests can be discussed before a project begins. The agreement needs to be appropriate for the scope and reviewed before any confidential access is shared.
What do you need to begin?
Usually the repository, error messages, a description of the desired behavior, relevant logs, and access to a safe development or staging environment.
Should I send passwords or API keys?
No. Sensitive credentials should be shared only through an approved secure method after the project begins.
Can you work with my existing developer or agency?
Yes. HerbDev can provide an independent assessment, solve a specific technical blocker, document findings, or collaborate with the existing team.
