AI Application Rescue
HerbDev helps founders, businesses, developers, and agencies recover applications that were built quickly with AI-assisted development but now need experienced engineering to compile, deploy, pass review, and run reliably.
Common decision paths
A rescue may begin with generated code that has never been reviewed, a repair-versus-rebuild decision, or a handoff from a previous developer. These guides clarify what should be established before implementation begins.
A rescue begins by understanding the system and evaluating what is recoverable. Approved repairs are then completed, production gaps are closed, the release path is verified, and ongoing ownership is added only when useful.
Who This Is For
What the Assessment Includes
What You Provide
Do not send passwords, private keys, API secrets, certificates, production customer data, or protected personal information through the contact form.
Technologies Supported
After the Assessment
The next step may be a focused repair, a production-readiness review, a deployment rescue, a mobile release sprint, documentation and handoff work, or a recommendation to simplify or rebuild. The goal is to make the technical reality clear before more money is spent.
FAQ
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.
No. The technical assessment is designed for clients who know the project is failing but cannot identify the cause.
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.
Yes, provided you have legal access to the repository, hosting accounts, app store accounts, domains, services, and other required assets.
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.
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.
Usually the repository, error messages, a description of the desired behavior, relevant logs, and access to a safe development or staging environment.
No. Sensitive credentials should be shared only through an approved secure method after the project begins.
Yes. HerbDev can provide an independent assessment, solve a specific technical blocker, document findings, or collaborate with the existing team.
