AI-Built App Not Working?

Users in your app can see data that belongs to other users — viewing other people's orders, messages, personal information, or account details. This is a serious privacy and security issue that needs to be fixed immediately.

Users can't reset their passwords. The reset email never arrives, the reset link shows an error or has expired, or the new password doesn't save. This locks users out of their accounts.

Your app doesn't properly control who can see or do what. Regular users might access admin pages, see other users' private data, or perform actions (like deleting or editing) that should be restricted.

Users try to log in or create an account but nothing happens, they get an error, or they're stuck in a loop. This is one of the most common issues with AI-generated apps because auth involves multiple moving parts.

You fill out a form or perform an action in your app, it looks like it works, but when you refresh the page the data is gone. The database isn't saving anything, or data disappears after a page reload.

You try to deploy your app but the build fails with errors. The app might work in the AI tool's preview or development mode, but the production build process finds errors that weren't visible before.

Your app runs fine in the AI tool's preview or on your local machine, but when you try to deploy it to production (Vercel, Netlify, Railway, Render, etc.), it fails with errors or shows a blank page.

Your app shows a 'Not Secure' warning in the browser, or visitors see a full-page SSL/TLS certificate error warning them the site is unsafe. This scares users away and can break functionality like payments and auth.

You bought a domain name and want to use it for your AI-built app, but you can't get it working. The domain shows an error page, a parking page, or just doesn't load your app.

Your app works perfectly on your local machine or in the AI tool's preview, but in production it fails. The cause is almost always missing or misconfigured environment variables — API keys, database URLs, and secrets that the app needs to function.

You deployed your app and instead of seeing your application, you get a completely blank white page. No errors visible on the page itself — just white nothing.

You want to add a new feature to your AI-built app, but every time you prompt the AI to add something, it breaks existing functionality. You're stuck in a loop where fixing one thing breaks another.

Users try to make a payment in your app but it fails, shows an error, or appears to succeed without actually charging. This is critical because broken payments mean lost revenue and frustrated customers.

Your app should be sending emails (signup confirmations, password resets, order notifications) but users aren't receiving them. They're not in spam either.

Your app makes calls to an API (its own backend, Supabase, or a third-party service) and those calls fail. You see errors in the console like 500, 403, 404, or CORS errors.

Your app has a search feature but it doesn't work correctly. It returns no results even when data exists, returns wrong results, is extremely slow, or crashes the page.

You used an AI coding tool (or someone used it for you) to build a website or web app. It worked initially, but now something is broken and you can't fix it. You're not technical, you don't know code, and re-prompting the AI isn't helping — it's making things worse.

Your app works most of the time but randomly crashes, shows error pages (like 500 Internal Server Error), or becomes unresponsive. It's hard to reproduce because it doesn't happen every time.

You used an AI tool to build your app — it was working, and now it's not. Maybe you made a small change and everything broke, or it stopped working after a deploy. The AI keeps making it worse when you try to fix it.

Your app integrates with a third-party service (Google, Stripe, Twilio, OpenAI, etc.) and the integration stopped working or never worked properly. API calls fail, webhooks don't fire, or OAuth login redirects go nowhere.

Your app has real-time features (chat, live notifications, real-time data updates) but they don't work. Messages don't appear until you refresh, notifications are delayed or missing, or the live update feature requires manual refreshing.

You launched your AI-built app or website but it doesn't appear in Google search results. You've waited weeks and still can't find it when searching for your brand name or relevant keywords.

Users try to upload files (images, documents, etc.) and the upload fails, shows an error, takes forever, or the file seems to upload successfully but then disappears or can't be accessed.

Dates and times in your app show incorrect values. Events show the wrong day, timestamps are off by several hours, or the same date shows differently in different parts of the app. This is confusing for users and can break time-sensitive features like bookings or deadlines.

Your app works fine on your browser (usually Chrome) but breaks on other browsers like Safari or Firefox, or on specific devices. Features don't work, layouts break, or the app doesn't load at all.

You've built an app using AI tools and it seems to work, but you're not confident it's ready for real users. You want someone who actually knows code to review it, find potential issues, and tell you if it's safe to launch.

Your app takes forever to load, pages are slow to navigate, or actions (like saving data or loading lists) take several seconds. It was fine at first but got slower as you added more features.

The app doesn't look like it should. Elements overlap, colors are wrong, fonts aren't loading, spacing is off, or the design has regressed from what it looked like before. You tried to fix it with prompts but the AI keeps changing things you didn't want changed.

Your app looks fine on a desktop browser but when you open it on a phone, the layout is a mess. Text overlaps, buttons are cut off or too small to tap, images overflow, or the whole page requires horizontal scrolling.

Your app shows broken image icons, placeholder rectangles, or blank spaces where images should be. Image uploads might fail, or previously working images stopped displaying.

Forms in your app don't validate input correctly. They might accept invalid data (empty required fields, invalid emails), show error messages that don't match the problem, or refuse to submit even with valid data.

Your app should show notifications, toast messages, or alert popups for things like successful saves, errors, or new messages — but nothing appears. Users perform actions without any feedback.

Clicking links in your app goes to the wrong page, shows a 404, or doesn't navigate at all. The browser back button might not work correctly. Pages might reload entirely when they should transition smoothly.

Your app has a dark mode but it doesn't work correctly. Text becomes invisible against the background, some components stay light while others go dark, the toggle doesn't persist across pages, or the initial flash of the wrong theme is jarring.
