Vibe Rescue · Repair and technical recovery

Repair and recovery for applications built with AI.

Your app is acting up. Let’s work on the fix. Vibe Rescue is TechnoConception’s repair service for web applications built with AI or vibe coding. I investigate blocked workflows, change the affected code or configuration, and test the agreed corrections. You receive the changes and a clear handover so you can continue.

  • Investigation, repairs and tests
  • Scope and fees agreed before work begins
  • A repaired version and a practical handover

Get your project moving again.

What kind of work does your application need?

Get a blocked feature working

A login, save operation, payment, integration or deployment is preventing the application from doing its job. I investigate the cause, correct the relevant code or configuration and check the intended workflow.

Stabilize what already works

Errors keep returning, or one change breaks something else. We agree on the priority problems. I work on the affected components and add relevant checks to detect a recurrence, covering access, data handling, errors or integration behaviour.

Make a difficult codebase easier to change

The project needs to move forward, but its structure or dependencies make changes difficult. I assess what can be kept and carry out the agreed restructuring or partial rebuild, based on what your application needs to support next.

Which applications can be taken on?

Fit depends on the code and services in use. A short project description is enough to begin; we confirm the scope before proposing the work.

  • Technologies: JavaScript/TypeScript web applications, particularly React/Next.js, Node and PostgreSQL. A project created with Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code or Replit is assessed through its architecture and accessible code.
  • Access: an identifiable repository and an authorized environment for reproducing, changing and checking the affected parts. Production access is agreed when deployment forms part of the engagement.
  • Starting information: the expected result, the observed problem, steps to reproduce it and any relevant error messages, logs or tests you already have. Confidential material is shared through a separately agreed secure exchange.

From the observed problem to a verified correction.

We agree on the intended behaviour and how to verify it. That target guides the work, from the initial examination to delivery.

  1. 01

    Understand what is blocked

    You explain the expected behaviour, what you observe and the workflow affected. We check the technologies, available access, constraints and suitability of the engagement. The proposal then specifies the work, fees, dates and acceptance criteria.

  2. 02

    Work on the repair

    I start from an identifiable version, examine the relevant components and try to reproduce the problem in an authorized environment. I then modify the code or configuration within the accepted scope, keeping a record of the changes.

  3. 03

    Verify the behaviour

    I check the corrected version against the agreed criteria. Depending on the problem, this includes targeted tests, a workflow check and checks on related functions that could be affected. We can review the result together.

  4. 04

    Deliver and hand over

    You receive the changes, verification results and explanations for using or extending the components covered by the work. If bringing the application back online is included, it follows the agreed conditions for the intervention and rollback.

You receive the changes and what you need to continue.

A repaired and verified version

You receive a version with the agreed functions repaired and checked. The changes are delivered in the agreed repository, with an identifiable version and an explanation of what changed.

Checks connected to the problem

The tests and results record the behaviour checked, the test conditions and remaining limits. They also provide a starting point for checking subsequent changes.

Delivery suited to your situation

The proposal states whether delivery includes a code branch, a version in a test environment or a production deployment. Access, acceptance and responsibility for operating the application are defined accordingly.

A clear handover

What changed, how to check or restart the affected components, what still needs attention and who takes over. The agreement defines how defects related to this work will be handled and any included follow-up period.

An initial budget range

What could it cost to repair your application?

Describe the work and the constraints you know about. The calculator estimates the effort for investigation, repair, verification and delivery. You get an indicative range in Canadian dollars before tax, to refine after reviewing the project.

Indicative estimate · CAD before taxes

This calculator works in your browser. It does not send or save your answers.

Start with what you know

Choose the work you want to explore. “Not sure yet” is a useful answer: the range will reflect what remains to be checked.

You can explore either service. The diagnostic is optional and is not a prerequisite for Vibe Rescue.

Choose the main purpose of this work.

A workflow is one complete task, such as signing in, submitting a request or generating a report.

A repeatable example makes it easier to investigate the cause.

Consider the setup needed to reproduce and check the issue outside live use.

Production work requires agreed access, checks and a way to roll back.

Refine the technical assumptions

Count only the systems and integrations involved in this work. These details affect the effort, not just the size of the application.

Count the services this work touches, such as payments, email or a CRM. Leave unrelated integrations out.

A change spanning several connected parts usually needs more investigation and verification.

Verification is included in every repair estimate. This answer describes what is already available to build on.

Changing structure differs from moving existing records: the source, volume, data quality and cleanup needed determine a migration’s scope.

Count only the applications, repositories, deployment environments and databases involved in this work.

Choose whether the required access is available or can be arranged.

Checking user permissions is different from a specialist security review or an active incident.

Enter a value from 25 to 500. This is an assumption for the calculator, not a quote.

The default CAD 150/hour is a provisional simulation rate, not a published or agreed service rate. Changing it changes this estimate only.

Scope, fees and schedule

Agree on the work before it begins.

Repair costs depend on the problem, accessible code and delivery conditions. The first conversation clarifies the need and the information required to propose the work. Any paid work is agreed in advance.

  • A concrete target: the functions to restore, priority problems and criteria for verifying the result.
  • Agreed access: the repository, services and environment authorized for examining, modifying and testing the application. Operations involving data or production are specified when they form part of the work.
  • A quote and dates: scope, billable phases, fees, dependencies and schedule are accepted before work starts. If a discovery materially changes the work, we revisit the agreement before proceeding beyond its scope.
  • A clear end to the engagement: the version delivered, verification, handover and planned follow-up. Ongoing operational support and further development can be agreed separately according to your needs.

Before handing over your application

How do you estimate the cost of repairing a vibe-coded app?

Vibe Rescue pricing depends on investigation, repair, verification and delivery work. The calculator considers affected workflows, integrations, available tests, data and deployment. Its CAD 150/hour rate is a provisional, editable simulation assumption, not an agreed service rate. It provides a range before taxes and external costs. The final quote sets the scope and fees after the project has been reviewed.

How long does a Vibe Rescue engagement take?

Timing depends on the problem, access, required checks and delivery conditions. The calculator’s hours represent estimated work, not a delivery date. We agree dates after reviewing the project and confirming access. Vibe Rescue does not promise a universal turnaround or guaranteed immediate availability.

Does Vibe Rescue include making changes to the code?

Yes. Vibe Rescue includes implementation: investigating the cause, changing code or configuration, verifying the result and delivering the agreed work. Findings and explanations accompany the changes made.

Do I have to buy the diagnostic before a repair?

No. If the problem and scope can be defined sufficiently, we can agree directly on a Vibe Rescue engagement. If more investigation is needed before quoting the repair, its scope, cost and deliverables are proposed before you commit. The Service après-vibe diagnostic remains an independent offer.

Can you work on an application built with Lovable, Cursor, Claude Code or Replit?

Suitability depends on the accessible code, architecture and services used. I work primarily on JavaScript/TypeScript web applications, including React/Next.js, Node and PostgreSQL. The creation tool is a starting point for the conversation; we confirm compatibility before proposing the work.

Can you get an application back online?

Restoration or deployment can be included when the problem, access and environment allow us to define the work. We agree on the authorized changes, checks after deployment and the ability to roll back. Availability and the intervention date are confirmed when the engagement is agreed.

Is this a 24/7 emergency service?

Vibe Rescue operates through agreed engagements. If an outage is already affecting your users, mention it in your inquiry so the situation and availability can be assessed. The service does not include 24/7 coverage or a guaranteed emergency response time.

Do we need to rebuild from scratch?

We first assess what can be retained and the change needed to meet your objective. A targeted correction, simplification or partial rework may be enough. If a rebuild appears more reasonable within your constraints, we discuss its reasons and scope before committing to that work.

What if the repair turns out to be bigger than expected?

I explain what has been established, what has changed and the available options before proceeding beyond the agreed work. The agreement defines billable phases and the conditions for continuing or stopping. We can adjust the target, consider a partial rework or end the intervention under the agreed terms.

What happens after delivery?

You have the modified code, verification results and handover notes. Acceptance of the work, handling of defects related to the intervention and included follow-up are specified in the agreement. Ongoing maintenance can be arranged through a separate engagement.

Vibe Rescue

What is blocked today?

Describe what your application should do, what happens now and the functionality you want to restore. Include the tools used, whether the application is already live and any important deadline. A description is enough to start; keep login details, API keys and confidential data for a secure exchange agreed afterwards.
