What is an AI-built app?
An AI-built app is any application where the majority of source code was produced by a code-generating AI tool, whether that tool is a prompt-to-app builder like Lovable or Bolt, an IDE assistant like Cursor or Windsurf, or an agentic CLI like Claude Code.
Why the category exists
AI-built apps share a distinct set of production issues that hand-written apps rarely exhibit in the same proportion:
- Error boundaries that never get added because the happy path always works in the demo
- Authorization checks that look correct but miss edge cases
- Environment secrets pasted into files that end up client-bundled
- Tests that do not exist because generating them requires a second prompt
Treating AI-built apps as their own category lets you apply targeted readiness checks instead of generic code review.
