Built a mvp / prototype with Tempo?
We'll make it production-ready.
You built a prototype with an AI tool and it works — on your machine, with your test data, for the happy path. Now you need real users to validate your idea. The goal isn't perfection — it's getting to a state where real people can use it safely and reliably. That means fixing the critical gaps without over-engineering.
MVP / Prototype challenges in Tempo apps
Building a mvp / prototype with Tempo is a great start — but these challenges need attention before launch.
Identifying what actually needs fixing
Not everything needs to be production-grade for an MVP. The challenge is knowing which shortcuts are acceptable (visual polish, advanced features) and which aren't (security, data loss, broken core flows). Our audit prioritizes fixes by impact.
Security minimum
Even an MVP handles user data. You need authentication that works, data isolated per user, no exposed secrets, and HTTPS. You don't need enterprise-grade security, but you need the basics done right.
Deployment
Your app runs locally but deploying it involves environment variables, domain configuration, SSL, and build optimization. First-time deployment is where most AI prototypes hit unexpected issues.
Error handling
When something goes wrong (and it will), your users should see a helpful message — not a white screen or a raw error. Basic error handling is the difference between 'this app is buggy' and 'something went wrong, please try again.'
Core flow reliability
Your main user flow (signup → core action → outcome) must work every time. Edge cases in secondary flows can wait, but the core path needs to be solid for your MVP to generate valid learnings.
What we check in your Tempo mvp / prototype
Common Tempo issues we fix
Beyond mvp / prototype-specific issues, these are Tempo patterns we commonly fix.
Generated UI components have no backend wiring and display only static or hardcoded data
Tempo generates visually accurate components but all data is hardcoded or uses placeholder values. Every component needs data fetching, API integration, and state management added before it is functional in a real application.
No authentication or authorization built into generated page components
Pages and layouts generated from Figma designs do not include route protection, session checks, or role-based rendering — all authentication logic must be added separately before the pages handle real users.
Components tightly coupled to Figma design tokens that do not match your design system
Tempo generates components using Tailwind classes and CSS values extracted from Figma, which may not align with your existing design system tokens, theme configuration, or component library — requiring a normalization pass to integrate cleanly.
No state management architecture — components are purely presentational without interaction logic
Interactive UI elements (dropdowns, modals, tabs, forms) are generated with the correct visual appearance but without state management wiring, requiring developers to add useState, useReducer, or a state library to make them functional.

Frequently asked questions
Can I build a mvp / prototype with Tempo?
Tempo is a great starting point for a mvp / prototype. It handles the initial scaffolding well, but mvp / prototype apps have specific requirements — identifying what actually needs fixing and security minimum — that need professional attention before launch.
What issues does Tempo leave in mvp / prototype apps?
Common issues include: generated ui components have no backend wiring and display only static or hardcoded data, no authentication or authorization built into generated page components, components tightly coupled to figma design tokens that do not match your design system. For a mvp / prototype specifically, these issues are compounded by the need for identifying what actually needs fixing.
How do I make my Tempo mvp / prototype production-ready?
Start with our code audit ($19) to get a clear picture of what needs fixing. For most Tempo-built mvp / prototype apps, 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 Tempo-built mvp / prototype?
Our code audit is $19 and gives you a complete report of issues. Fixes start at $199 with our Fix & Ship plan. For larger mvp / prototype projects, we provide a custom fixed quote after the audit — no hourly billing.
