Maintaining an AI-built app
Who fixes your AI-built app after launch?
Launching is the start of ownership. Someone still needs to investigate failures, update dependencies and check that a new feature has not broken an old one. Forward Growth can review the build and agree a maintenance or improvement scope.
For founders who need the next change to be manageable.

Visible progress.
- 01Share the brief
- 02Agree the scope
- 03Build & review
Pricing follows the scope. Existing code, integrations, content and release requirements affect the estimate. You’ll see deliverables, milestones and third-party costs before committing.
Useful answers.
Can you maintain code you did not write?
After a review establishes access, buildability and the limits of the existing code and services.
Does this include 24/7 support?
Only if explicitly agreed. Availability and response expectations are defined in the support scope.
Can I take the project to another developer?
A documented handover should make that possible. Account access, source availability and third-party licensing also matter.
