When something breaks
Apps sometimes misbehave — a page errors, a button does nothing, data doesn't show up. The good news: your AI can look under the hood, see what went wrong, and fix it. You mostly need to describe the symptom clearly and let it investigate.
The first move: ask your AI to look
onvibe keeps logs (a record of what the app did) and captures errors automatically. Your AI can read both. When something's off, say:
"The app is showing an error — check the logs and exceptions and fix it."
That single request usually gets it diagnosing and repairing on its own.
Describing the problem well
The clearer the symptom, the faster the fix:
- Say what you did and what happened. "I filled the form, clicked submit, and got a blank page."
- Quote any error text you can see, even partially.
- Say where it happens. "Only on the results page" / "only on my phone" / "only after I add a second item."
Common situations
| Symptom | What to say to your AI |
|---|---|
| A page shows an error message | "Check the logs and fix this error." |
| The page loads but is blank or broken | "The page renders blank — look at the exceptions and fix it." |
| Submitting a form does nothing | "Submitting the form doesn't save anything — investigate and fix." |
| It worked before, now it doesn't | "It broke after the last change — check what happened, and roll back if needed." |
| Data looks wrong or missing | "The list is empty even though I added items — find out why." |
If a recent change caused it
If things broke right after a change you asked for, you can simply go back — see Versions & undo:
"Roll back to the last working version."
When to start fresh
If your AI is stuck in a loop or the conversation has gotten tangled, start a new chat, tell it which project you mean, and describe the current symptom. A clean start often helps it re-orient.
