AI prototype to production
Your AI-built prototype works. Now make it ready for customers.
Tools like Lovable, Bolt, Cursor and v0 are brilliant for getting an idea on screen. Real customers, real payments and real data need more. We keep what works, fix what is risky, and give your app the foundations to grow.
Signs your prototype needs deeper roots
- 1It works in the demo but breaks with real users or real data
- 2You are not sure who can see what, or where secrets are stored
- 3Every new feature from the AI tool breaks an old one
- 4Payments, logins or emails are held together with workarounds
- 5You would be nervous if it suddenly got a lot of traffic
§01What changes
From impressive demo to dependable product.
Before
A typical AI-built prototype
- Code nobody has fully reviewed
- Security and data access decided by the AI tool
- No automated tests, so changes are risky
- Hosting and secrets set up for a demo, not a business
After
Production-ready with Cusic Digital
- Reviewed, organized code you and future developers can work on
- Proper authentication, permissions and secret handling
- Automated tests and CI/CD that catch problems before customers do
- Reliable hosting, monitoring and backups
§02How it works
A clear path, one stage at a time.
Stage 01 · Plant
Code and risk review
We read through what the AI tool generated and list what is solid, what is risky and what is missing, in plain language.
Stage 02 · Root
Production plan
A fixed-scope plan to fix security and data problems and add the essentials: authentication, payments, tests and hosting.
Stage 03 · Grow
Harden and build
We work in sprints, keeping what already works and strengthening the foundations so new features stop breaking old ones.
Stage 04 · Tend
Launch and support
We launch on reliable infrastructure and stay available to maintain the app and help it grow.
Questions owners ask
Frequently asked questions
Which AI tools do you work with?
Apps generated with Lovable, Bolt, Cursor, v0, Replit and similar tools. Most produce React, Next.js or Node.js code, which is exactly what we build with every day.
Do you have to rewrite everything?
Usually not. We keep the parts that work, fix the parts that are risky, and only rebuild what cannot be made reliable.
Can you add payments, logins and an admin area?
Yes. Authentication, Stripe payments, transactional email and admin tools are standard parts of taking a prototype to production.
Can I keep using AI tools after you are involved?
Yes. With tests and CI/CD in place, you can keep experimenting and the safety net catches changes that would break existing features.
How much does it cost?
It depends on the size of the app and what it needs. The first step is a free consultation, followed by a written, fixed-scope proposal.
