Paste error messages to get debugging help

5

When your code or formula throws an error, copy the entire error message and paste it into the AI along with the relevant code. The AI will identify the issue, explain why it happened, and provide the corrected version.

Why It Works

Error messages contain specific clues that AI models are trained to interpret. Providing the full error plus your code gives the AI everything it needs to diagnose the problem accurately.

Tips

  • Include the programming language and version if you know it
  • Paste the surrounding code, not just the single line that errors
  • Ask "Why did this happen?" in addition to "How do I fix it?" so you learn from the mistake
