A product built fast with AI coding tools shipped ahead of schedule, and now it's breaking under real user load, or investor technical due diligence. Zethic's vibe coding cleanup services, alongside our broader Artificial Intelligence Services practice, audit the actual risk first, then fix what's genuinely broken.

What you get from this work.
Our vibe coding cleanup services start with an assessment, not an assumption, so a business knows the actual scope before committing budget to a fix.
A written technical debt register ranked by business risk.
Architecture and code reviewTechnical debt inventorySecurity & scalability riskWritten, prioritized results
We run a full code review against the codebase as it exists, then deliver a written technical debt register ranked by risk, covering the same ground we break down in what a code audit actually checks before a business trusts a codebase.
Targeted fixes, not a blanket rewrite.
AI-generated code remediationCode refactoringDead-code removalArchitecture realignment
Code refactoring here targets the specific patterns the assessment identified, not a blanket rewrite. Working logic gets preserved and restructured, not discarded and rebuilt on principle.
Security gaps fixed and covered by tests.
Vulnerability remediationAuth & data protection reviewAutomated test suite creationCode quality enforcement
Security gaps common in AI-generated code, missing validation, weak authentication, unhandled edge cases, get fixed and covered by tests. Vibe-coded smart contracts carry the same risk at higher stakes, which is why our dedicated Solidity development services team handles that cleanup separately.
Documentation the internal team can actually use.
Maintainable code docsArchitecture decision recordsCI/CD hardeningKnowledge transfer
The cleanup ends with documentation the internal engineering team can actually use, not a codebase only the cleanup team understands. When new feature work is needed after cleanup, our custom application development services can carry that forward.
Intelligent Engineering, our team for the full-stack work behind every rollout.
Why teams pick us for this.
A company that quotes a fix before assessing is guessing at scope. We deliver the technical debt register first, then price against what it shows.
Services that default to a full rewrite are optimizing for their own billing, not the business. We fix what's actually broken and leave what works alone, the same call our GoLang development services team makes before recommending a migration.
Security gaps and scalability blockers get addressed first. Beyond this cleanup, our dedicated secure code review services continue that work.
Documentation and knowledge transfer are part of the same project scope, not an afterthought squeezed in once the budget is already spent.
This is the discovery phase every vibe coding cleanup project starts with, and it is how our AI code refactoring services, part of Zethic's broader AI and digital solutions, move to a maintainable codebase.
Talk to us{ 01 }· Week 1
We review the architecture, run a code review against known AI-generated anti-patterns, and deliver a prioritized technical debt register.
{ 02 }· Week 2-4
Code refactoring proceeds against the prioritized results, restructuring what needs it and leaving working logic intact.
{ 03 }· Week 4-6
Security gaps get closed and test coverage gets built out, so code quality holds up as the product continues to change.
{ 04 }· Handoff
The internal team receives documentation, architecture decisions, and a walkthrough, so the codebase is genuinely maintainable going forward.
Questions, answered.
No. A full rewrite is often the wrong call and the more expensive one. Our assessment identifies exactly which parts need refactoring and which already work, so the fix is scoped to actual risk. Where the answer genuinely is a rebuild, that runs as legacy application modernization services instead.
Cost depends on what the assessment finds: a codebase with isolated technical debt costs less to fix than one with systemic architecture problems. Most projects are quoted after the assessment stage.
Yes. The technical debt assessment runs as a standalone deliverable, a written, prioritized register a business can act on independently or bring to another team.
A focused cleanup on a single product usually runs four to six weeks after the assessment. A larger system with deeper architectural issues can run eight weeks or more.
Handoff includes documentation and a knowledge transfer session, and the team stays available for questions as the internal team takes over. Some teams continue with our Fractional CTO services for ongoing direction.
