i feel like I am battling or being Gaslit by the AI agent. What experiences do others have or tips on how to improve my skill. i have broken it down to single requests shown examples of what I want and after lots of text and back and forth it keeps coming back badly aligned and now literally changes nothing, i feel like im in a death spiral. did any of you use a video or course to improve. Am thinking of switching to another as this feels like a bad marriage and was better before AI, Thanks
Have you tried https://buildprint.ai ?
More powerful AI for Bubble, though you definitely want to learn the basics of the platform before using it!
Thanks for this and will try. Been using bubble for a few years and like the manual side to building an app but decideD to try AI and was just frustrating when you say it needs to be the same design for a group of things and it never is or it aligns strange and keeps correcting it but nothing changes when manually it took like 30 seconds.. just wondered why I get in this ai loop of hell:-)
Hey @tim44 , this is normal and not a skill issue. The AI is genuinely bad at visual alignment. It works from text descriptions of layout, so “make these match” often looks right to it but wrong on canvas. And when it’s stuck, it starts claiming it fixed things it didn’t touch. That’s your loop.
BuildPrint that @georgecollier mentioned is worth a look too. but the bigger fix is changing how you use AI, whatever tool it is.
After 4+ years on Bubble, here’s what works for me:
Use AI for structure, do styling manually. It’s great at scaffolding pages, data types, and workflows. Hopeless at pixel alignment. You said it yourself, manual takes 30 seconds.
If it fails twice on the same visual fix, stop asking. It won’t get it on attempt five. Fix it by hand.
Start fresh chats often. Long threads carry all the failed context and make it worse.
You don’t need a course. You know the platform, which puts you ahead of most. Treat the AI like a junior dev who’s fast at boilerplate and useless at design review and the frustration mostly disappears.
Thanks for the feedback @tim44 and sorry for the frustration.
I shared this thread internally with the team
love this. thanks and good to know before i go completly insane.
I left the Bubble AI tool and moved to ChatGPT. Much better. I found myself yelling at the Bubble AI tool…I feel your pain.
Happy to help!
so just told me it cant do workflows in the mobile app. feels very restricting
its like a bad marriage
It doesn’t help, and similar to earlier response, I use ChatGPT, but it’s slow as can’t access directly. ChatGPT tried to instruct AI, but gave up on it. I now have a fully functioning app though.
Congrats!
do you think Claude is as good or you feel chat gpt is the best. Claude feels like it wants to just blame bubble for not being very good,
ChatGPT doesn’t criticize… unless I ask it to. But proving the limitations and options allows AI to provide options… way better than Bubble’s AI.
