My AI-Built App Is Broken and I Don't Know Why
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.
Error Messages You Might See
Various — check browser console (F12 > Console tab) and any deployment logs
Common Causes
- A recent prompt introduced a breaking change somewhere else in the codebase
- Environment variables are missing or misconfigured in production
- A dependency was updated and is no longer compatible
- The AI "fixed" one thing but silently broke another
How to Fix It
- Check the browser console (F12) for error messages — screenshot them
- Check if the app works locally but not in production (usually an env var issue)
- Try reverting to the last working version if you have version history
- If the AI keeps going in circles, stop prompting — you need a human to look at the actual code

15+ years shipping production infrastructure for startups. Former CTO at qed.builders (acquired by The Sandbox).
Cursor ambassador and agentic tooling builder.
I've scaled systems, automated deployments, and built observability tools for AI coding workflows. I specialize in taking vibe-coded apps from broken prototype to production-ready: fixing Supabase auth/RLS, Stripe integrations, deployment pipelines, and cleaning up AI-generated spaghetti.
I build tools in this space (agentprobe, claudebin, micode) and understand both sides: how AI generates code and why it breaks.

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
I don't know what tool was used to build my app. Can you still help?
Yes. Our developers can look at any codebase regardless of what AI tool generated it. Just describe what's broken.
The AI keeps making it worse when I try to fix the bug. What should I do?
Stop prompting. AI tools often fix one thing and break another. A human developer will read the actual code, find the root cause, and fix it properly.
