Troubleshooting
Common problems with the AI coding agent and what to do about them
Common situations and how to handle them. For most issues, the fastest fix is to describe the problem to the agent in your project and let it work through the cause.
A build or deploy fails
Hand the error back to PlutoAI in the conversation and ask it to fix it, then try again. It can read the failure and work through the cause. For deploys, see Deploy your app.
The preview looks blank or stale
Ask the agent to restart the app. See Preview and test.
A change broke something that worked before
Tell the agent exactly what broke and ask it to fix or undo the last change. Being specific about what changed, and when it last worked, points it at the problem faster.
The agent keeps hitting the same problem
If a request stalls on the same error, give the agent more to work with: the exact error, what you already tried, and what you expected. Naming what did not work helps it change approach instead of repeating itself.
You are low on your token allowance
Your allowance resets daily and monthly, so waiting for the next reset restores it. Focused requests also use less. See Limits and usage.
You cannot sign in
PlutoAI is in private beta, and access is limited to approved accounts. If your account is not approved yet, join the waitlist at plutoai.one. Sign-in supports email and password, a magic link, or a one-time email code.
Anything else
For anything you cannot resolve, ask the agent directly in your project. It can inspect and explain what is happening.
