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

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.
