What is Vibe Maintaining
Keep your app healthy after you build it by describing changes in plain language
Vibe coding is building an app by describing what you want. Vibe Maintaining is the same idea after the app exists: you keep it working, fix problems, and add to it, all through the same conversation.
The difference from a new build
When you start a new project, PlutoAI builds from your description. When you maintain one, it works with the project you already have. It keeps the context of what you built, so you do not re-explain the app each time. You describe a problem or a change, and it edits the existing project instead of starting over. See Agent context and memory.
A realistic example
Say you come back to a project and something is off:
My checkout page is throwing an error after the latest change.
PlutoAI reads your project, finds the cause, fixes it, and shows you the result in the live preview. You did not have to point it at files or explain how the app is put together. It already has that context.
What you use it for
- Fixing bugs that show up as your app is used.
- Adding features to an app that is already running.
- Adjusting things that no longer fit as the project grows.
- Getting an app back to a working state after a change went wrong.
See Troubleshooting for what to do when something breaks.
Keeping maintenance safe
The same habits that make building smooth make maintenance safe: change one thing at a time and confirm it in the preview, be specific about what should change and what should stay the same, and click through the main flows before you publish an update.
