Built a internal tool with Aider?
We'll make it production-ready.
Internal tools don't face the public internet, but they often have access to sensitive business data — customer records, financial data, operational metrics. AI tools build internal dashboards quickly, but the security bar is still high because a compromised internal tool can expose your entire business.
Internal Tool challenges in Aider apps
Building a internal tool with Aider is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Access control
Who can see what? Internal tools need role-based access — finance sees revenue data, support sees customer data, engineering sees system metrics. AI tools build the dashboard but rarely implement granular permissions.
Data sensitivity
Internal tools often connect directly to production databases. A bug that deletes records or a missing auth check that exposes customer PII can have serious legal and business consequences.
Network security
Internal tools should be behind a VPN or protected network, not on the public internet. AI tools deploy to public URLs by default. Proper network configuration prevents external access.
Audit logging
When someone modifies data through an internal tool, you need to know who did what and when. This is essential for debugging, compliance, and accountability.
Data mutations
Internal tools often write to production databases — updating orders, modifying user accounts, issuing refunds. These operations need confirmation dialogs, validation, and audit trails to prevent costly mistakes.
What we check in your Aider internal tool
Common Aider issues we fix
Beyond internal tool-specific issues, these are Aider patterns we commonly fix.
Incomplete security implementations
Aider implements security features in the files it touches but misses corresponding changes in other files — like adding auth to one route but not others.
Partial refactoring across files
Aider sometimes updates function signatures in one file but misses call sites in other files, causing runtime errors.
Git history cluttered with fix commits
Aider's iterative approach creates many small 'fix' commits that make Git history hard to follow and review.
Missing cross-file optimizations
Performance improvements applied to individual files but not the system-level patterns that cause the real bottlenecks.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a internal tool with Aider?
Aider is a great starting point for a internal tool. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but internal tools have specific requirements — access control and data sensitivity — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Aider leave in internal tools?
Common issues include: incomplete security implementations, partial refactoring across files, git history cluttered with fix commits. For a internal tool specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for access control.
How do I make my Aider internal tool production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Aider-built internal tools, the critical path is: security review, then fixing core flow reliability, then deployment. We provide a fixed quote after the audit.
How much does it cost to fix a Aider-built internal tool?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger internal tool projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
