You Shipped It With AI. But Is It Actually Production-Ready?

You built something real. A full app — auth, database, API routes, maybe even payments. And you built it fast, with AI doing most of the heavy lifting.

That's not a bad thing. It's actually impressive.

But here's the part nobody talks about: AI doesn't know what it doesn't know about your specific app. It generates plausible code. Confident code. Code that runs. And it will absolutely leave problems behind that it never flagged — not because it was wrong, but because it was never asked the right questions.

An AI generated Next.js code review isn't just a nice-to-have before launch — it's how you find the problems Bolt, Lovable, and v0 never flagged.

Here are the areas where AI-built Next.js apps most commonly come to us with issues.

1. Auth that works in the browser but not where it counts

Getting a login flow working is easy. Making sure that protection actually holds at the API level — not just the UI — is a different problem entirely. If your middleware and server-side checks aren't aligned, you may have routes that feel protected but aren't.

This is the one that keeps senior devs up at night.

2. Data exposure you can't see on the front end

Your app might look fine in the browser while returning more data than it should from your API routes. AI tends to fetch broadly and display selectively — which means sensitive fields can be sitting in network responses nobody thought to check.

3. Prisma doing more work than you realize

AI-generated database queries are functional. They're not always efficient. N+1 query patterns, missing indexes, and over-fetching are common — and invisible until you're under real load.

4. Environment variables and secrets handling

This one is simple and consistently overlooked. Where your secrets live, how they're named, and whether anything sensitive is accidentally exposed to the client are things AI won't audit on its own.

5. No plan for when things go wrong

Error logging, rate limiting, and a backup strategy aren't features — they're the difference between a production app and a demo. Most AI-generated codebases ship without any of this in place.

---

None of these are unsolvable. But you need someone who's actually read the code — not just the parts that work — to find them before your users do.

That's exactly what an AI generated Next.js code review covers. If you built your app with Bolt, Lovable, v0, or any other AI builder and you're getting close to launch, get in touch. We'll go through your codebase, flag what matters, and give you a prioritized list of what to fix before you flip the switch.
