Taking UK founders' AI-built apps into productionReal users can rely on your AI-built app.
Used AI to build it? We tighten security, steady performance and prepare it for real users, with no restart.
Prototype into Production
Sound like you?
For founders whose app from Lovable, Bolt, Replit, Cursor or a similar tool now has to cope with real users and genuine, live data.
- It runs fine in the demo, yet you'd never let real customers' data near it.
- Each fresh prompt repairs one problem and causes two more.
- Logins, payments and the App Store review are the points where progress stops.
What we cover
All handled, from start to finish.
- 01Audit of code & securityOur team goes through the code and reports what's sound, what's risky and what launching will take.
- 02Hardening for securitySafe logins, tightly restricted data access, and secret keys never exposed in the browser.
- 03Integrations & paymentsThird-party APIs like Stripe and email that perform dependably each time, not merely in demos.
- 04Reliability & performanceQuick pages, lean database queries and clear messages when anything breaks.
- 05Setting up productionReliable hosting, backups and monitoring, plus a safe route for shipping updates.
- 06Launch & app storesWe take care of store submissions and the checks that reviewers run.
Pricing
Two steps, plain pricing.
Before you commit to any work, you learn precisely what needs fixing and what that costs.
Step 1
Audit of code
£750Roughly one week
We go through your code, data, security and hosting, then report what's sound, what's risky and what launching requires.
- Review of security and data access
- Structure and quality of code
- Hosting, integrations and payments
- Sprint plan with costs
Step 2
Sprint for hardening
From£3,5002–4 weeks
We repair the issues the audit uncovered, then test, deploy and monitor, leaving it ready for real users.
- Fixes for security
- Integrations and payments that stand up
- Testing of critical flows
- Hosting and monitoring for production
Sign up for the sprint and we deduct the £750 audit fee.
Arrange a free callWorth knowing first
Reasons your AI-built app gets stuck pre-launch.
A working demo arrives astonishingly quickly with AI tools. Getting from there to a product people can rely on is another kind of job.
- 01
The final stretch is the tough bit
AI builders shine at screens and the happy path. Launching hinges on the things they often skip: a failed payment, two people editing one record, or someone trying to see data that belongs to somebody else.
- 02
Data access is where security begins
The usual problems are basic but serious: secret keys sent to the browser, database tables open to anyone, and no cap on how often an endpoint can be hit. We check every one and close it off.
- 03
Repair rather than rebuild, where possible
Code from AI is frequently worth holding on to. We retain the screens and logic that work, swap out what doesn't, and wrap tests around the flows that count, so the next change won't undo the previous one.
- 04
Build for upkeep
A live product needs version control, distinct test and live environments, error monitoring and backups. Once these exist, building can carry on, via AI tools or alongside us, while the live app stays intact.
Compare
Carry on prompting, harden or rebuild?
An AI-built prototype leaves you three routes. Plenty of them need hardening, not a rebuild; the audit shows which.

Client feedback
Straight from them.
“TechClues turned our rough sketch into a live MVP in less than six weeks. A working build landed in front of us every week, and the price stayed exactly as first quoted.”
“Our previous website looked decent enough yet never generated any enquiries. Once TechClues rebuilt it, the pages loaded more quickly and calls from Google began arriving inside the first month.”
“We turned up with an unfinished prototype that AI tools had produced. They cleaned it up, made it secure and prepared it for genuine customers, while explaining each decision in plain English.”
