I Hired an AI Tool to Build My Website and Now It's Broken

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.

Common Causes

  • A prompt introduced a breaking change somewhere in the code
  • The AI tool updated and now generates code differently
  • You're trying to add a feature but each prompt breaks something else
  • The code has accumulated technical debt from many AI prompts
  • Environment or hosting configuration changed

How to Fix It

  1. Stop prompting the AI — every additional change risks making things worse
  2. Take screenshots of what's broken and any error messages you see
  3. If you have version history, note when the app last worked correctly
  4. Post a task on humansfix.ai describing what's wrong in plain English — you don't need to know code
  5. A developer will look at the actual code, find the problem, and fix it

I work primarily with Python, Django, FastAPI, Docker, PostgreSQL, and modern AI tooling such as PydanticAI, focusing on clean architecture, strong design principles, and reliable DevOps practices. I enjoy solving complex engineering problems and designing systems that are maintainable, resilient, and built to scale. Yovel Cohen Yovel Cohen I got a lot of experience in building Long-horizon AI Agents in production, Backend apps that scale to millions of users and frontend knowledge as well. Alvin Voo Alvin Voo I’ve watched the tech landscape evolve over the last decade—from the structured days of Java Server Pages to the current "wild west" of Agentic-driven development. While AI can "vibe" a frontend into existence, I specialize in the architecture that keeps it from collapsing. My expertise lies in the critical backend infrastructure: the parts that must be fast, secure, and scalable. I thrive on high-pressure environments, such as when I had only three weeks to architect and launch an Ethereum redemption system with minimal prior crypto knowledge, turning it into a major revenue stream. What I bring to your project: Forensic Debugging: I don't just "patch" bugs; I use tools like Datadog and Explain Analyzers to map out bottlenecks and resolve root causes—like significantly reducing memory usage by optimizing complex DB joins. Full-Stack Context: Deep experience in Node.js and React, ensuring backends play perfectly with mobile and web teams. Sanity in the Age of AI: I bridge the gap between "best practices" and modern speed, ensuring your project isn't just built fast, but built to last.

Frequently Asked Questions

I don't know anything about code. Can you still help?

Absolutely. Just describe what the app should do and what it's doing instead. Our developers will handle the rest — you don't need to understand the technical side.

I've been re-prompting for days. Should I keep trying?

No. If re-prompting hasn't fixed it in a few attempts, it likely won't. AI tools often fix one thing and break another. A human developer will find the root cause and fix it properly.
