My AI nightmare

Hi Base 44, now let me start by complimenting you first before I pack out all my issues with your AI. I have tried other app builders, and yours are by far the most user-friendly I have experienced. That said, now let me tell you about my month's journey with your AI. First of all, I’m an English ESL teacher. I joined your app because I wanted to start my own online business, and if there is one thing teachers love, it's online open apps and playing games with students. Your AI has a lot of potential but unfortunately faces a lot of limitations. I have spent $300 on the apps I tried to create, and after wasting 300+ credits on continuous looping and the same issue, I fixed. Most of my apps work, but there are too many issues your AI can't seem to fix. At this stage I'm too afraid to use any of the apps because the way they operate will damage my credibility. The online class management app works fairly well, but I had to delete it and start over. The AI could not add QR codes, and I had a lot of different features operating on the app. In the end I had to get rid of most of it and just let it do class scheduling. Even that seems to hit issues regularly. I'm just glad I haven't implemented it yet. When it came to color themes, it completely lost its marbles, looping and fixing like crazy. Still don't have it correct. Then I started working on the game hub, creating simplified games for the classroom. Now that's a huge mess. Looping also likes that there's no tomorrow; problems fixed appear again after I thought the game was ready. Can't build simple bit games, Pixil and other onboard plugs don't work. Can't do simple cosmetic designs like puzzles, a 1980s bit game called Artillery Duel kicked its ass. It can't build anything that requires projectile coding. Now you must understand that games are a huge part of apps. I think a lot of app designers build games. I have games in PPT format that I would love to add to the hub. It told me it could do the integration. Oh boy, was it wrong. I ended up deleting everything, credits wasted. It also needs an upgrade on plugin integration; I'm using openai and azure. It works for the most part, but there are also issues. Here are some of my suggestions. First, you need to make it clear to the users about the limitations and how to handle looping and when to look at different approaches. I have learned that the hard way, credits lost. You need a list of workable plugins so we know our options and how to use each of them. Most of us have no or limited coding experience. You need a major game-building upgrade for the AI. It needs to know how to build games. The AI should also let creators know immediately when an idea won't work or has too many integration or coding limitations. Oh also, you need to teach it humor and how to implement it on request. I hope some of this will help you better the AI, and I hope you are working on my apps to fix what the AI could not.
