Fixing AI-generated code: from prototype to real app

With Lovable, Bolt, v0 or Claude anyone can reach a working prototype in an afternoon. Then comes the wall: a bug the AI cannot fix, data that does not persist, payments to wire up, security. That is where a professional comes in. On Araknet you post the project — even just the prototype link — and receive offers from Italian freelance developers used to working on AI-generated code.

What a developer can do with your prototype

  • Review the generated code: bugs, duplication, fragile parts
  • Wire up database, login and payments securely
  • Finish the features the AI left half-done
  • Proper production deployment: domain, backups, monitoring
  • Refactor the prototype into a maintainable app if the project grows

What it costs

Orders of magnitude from Italian freelancers: review and fix of a simple prototype €500–2,000, completion with database, login and payments €2,000–6,000, solid rewrite of a product ready to launch €6,000–15,000. You set the budget in the listing.

Frequently asked questions

The prototype works: why pay a developer?

Because "works on my screen" and "handles real users" are two different worlds. AI generators produce great interfaces but often leave security holes, exposed data and incomplete features. A professional secures what you have and tells you — before it happens — what will break.

Do I have to throw away what I built with AI?

Almost never. In most cases the prototype stays as the base: the developer fixes, completes and deploys it. A rewrite only pays off when the project must truly scale, and the quote must justify it.

How do I describe the project if I am not technical?

The prototype link and two lines on what it should do versus what it does are enough. On Araknet the listing is anonymous and free: developers, in their offers, tell you what is actually needed and what it costs.
