Guide
Who can fix an app built with an AI app builder when the builder's AI says it is fixed and it isn't?
Updated
Check four things yourself first: published versus preview, the browser console, auth redirect settings, and database permissions. If the live app is still broken, you need someone or something that tests the live app as a new visitor; VibeFix's free check does that, and its code fix is $79, paid up front, then re-checked on your live app.
This applies to apps from tools such as Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Base44 and v0. Names are used only to say which tools this is about.
Why "fixed" can be wrong
A fix reported inside the editor was checked in the editor. Your visitors use the live address. That runs the last published version, has its own settings, and is seen by a stranger rather than by you signed in as the owner.
Four checks you can do yourself
- Published versus preview. Did you publish after the last change? Open the live address in a private window, and in a second browser.
- Browser console. On the live page, open your browser's inspect tools and read the Console and Network tabs. Red errors and 401, 403, 404 or 500 responses show where it fails. Copy the first one.
- Auth redirect settings. If sign-in or confirmation emails open localhost or an old preview address, or send people back to the login page, check that the site URL and allowed redirect URLs in your auth provider match your live address.
- Database permissions. If data does not save, or is visible to the wrong people, check the access rules (for example row-level security policies) on each table. Test once signed out and once as a second user.
What kinds of help exist
- The builder's own support and community. Free; speed and depth vary.
- A freelancer or agency. A person reads your code. Ask for price and time in writing.
- A rescue service staffed by people. Often a fixed diagnosis fee, then a fix.
- An AI agent from outside the builder. It tests the live app, changes the code, and tests again.
VibeFix's offer, as facts
| Fact | VibeFix |
|---|---|
| Free check | You tell us what broke. Our AI agent tries it on your live app, says whether it hit the same problem, and sends a screenshot. It shows the symptom only. |
| Fix price | $79, paid up front. |
| What the fix is | Our AI agent finds the cause and fixes it in your code. |
| Delivery | A GitHub pull request in your own repository. |
| Re-check | After the fix is live, the AI agent goes back to your live app and repeats the check that failed, the way a customer would. |
| Refund | "If we can't complete your re-check, you get your money back." |
| Which apps | Today the fix is for apps built with Lovable, or any app whose code is on GitHub. |
| Independence | VibeFix is not part of any app builder. On request, it reviews your code independently. |
| Never asked | We never ask for passwords. |
A check reports what the AI agent saw. It does not promise that every problem is found.
What to ask any service before you pay
- Is the first look free, and does it test my live app or only my editor?
- What is the price, in writing, and what does it include?
- How do I receive the fix: a pull request I can review, or direct edits?
- How is the fix tested afterwards, and on which address?
- What happens if you cannot finish? Ask for the refund wording.
- What access do you need? Do you ask for my passwords?
- Which builders and setups do you support today?
- Be careful with any promise that a fix will always work.
