It doesn’t export code, it lets AI understand your app. So if you want it to clone backend workflows to code, then for sure it can.
100%. This is frustrating. I want to use the agent on my existing apps. The ones that work that real people are using. Y’know, the ones we are paying our monthly subscription to Bubble for.
I do not want to generate slop and then maintain that with the agent and editor
I want the agent to adapt to how I’ve already designed and built the app.
Wake me up when the agent works on legacy apps, @rutvij.bhise
+1 on that. I can’t understand why Bubble has been working hard to add AI to existing apps for nine months and yet all AI agents built outside the Bubble (for bubble) have ZERO friction between using it on AI-generated apps vs non-AI-generated regular apps. I couldn’t think of ANY reason why that would be. I asked all AI deep reasoning models and all gave me similar nefarious reasons. But then BUBS, my own AI agent for Bubble for complex backend workflows, gave me a plausible answer
I didn’t realize my app was built with Bubble AI until now (at least that’s what it thinks). I remember last year starting with an AI prompt, Bubble creating something, but then I created a new index and started from scratch. Until now I had no need to try Bubble AI Agent. I would just click, click, click away for workflow actions that were very repetitive. I finally gave it a go and after a few tries got a good prompt to repeat workflow modifications over and over again. Very helpful! I think the limit is up to 38 edits, so I have to do them in batches.
My Bubble complaints are it doesn’t allow object arrays, or creating for loops, or storing same values in a list. I’ve been doing all that stuff manually with the help of free plugins. The workarounds are insane, relying on custom states rather than datatypes, but I’ve made a lot of progress. I have to initialize lists of texts with loops, give them a naming convention, and do my own find/replace/update, get/set workflows for dozens of button objects with dozens of lists of text. Compared to when I was using Unreal Engine and Blueprints, this is way more difficult and time consuming. So it’s nice that AI can help out for these tedious tasks that comes with the territory. Bubble, bubble, bubble!
