Common Mistakes & Best Practices

Common Mistake Hero
Whether you’re building websites, applications, documents, videos, or images, following these recommendations will help you get better results while saving both time and credits.

Mistake 1: Giving Very Short Prompts

Common Mistake Short Prompts

❌ Instead of

βœ… Try

The more context you provide, the better the AI understands your request.

Mistake 2: Asking AI To Rewrite Everything

Common Mistake Rewrite
Avoid prompts like:
Large changes increase the chance of:
  • unnecessary modifications
  • broken layouts
  • difficult reviews
  • additional iterations
Instead:
  • Improve one page
  • Update one component
  • Add one feature
  • Fix one bug

Mistake 3: Not Protecting Existing Code

Common Mistake Protect Code
Always tell the AI what should not change. Example:

Mistake 4: Regenerating Instead of Refining

Common Mistake Refine
Instead of pressing Generate repeatedly: Improve your previous prompt. Tell the AI:
  • what you liked
  • what should change
  • what should stay
This usually produces much better results.

Mistake 5: Large Projects In One Prompt

Large projects should be built step by step. Example roadmap:
  1. Navigation
  2. Homepage
  3. Authentication
  4. Dashboard
  5. Settings
  6. API
  7. Deployment
Smaller changes are easier to review.

Mistake 6: Forgetting To Test

Common Mistake Testing
Always test:
  • Preview
  • Mobile
  • Desktop
  • Forms
  • Authentication
  • APIs
  • Payments
  • Publishing
before deploying.

Mistake 7: Not Using Preview

Preview lets you verify changes before publishing. Always:
  1. Generate
  2. Preview
  3. Test
  4. Publish

Mistake 8: Expecting AI To Read Your Mind

Common Mistake Context 1
AI only knows:
  • your prompt
  • uploaded files
  • project context
It cannot infer:
  • your preferences
  • hidden requirements
  • future plans
Always explain your goal clearly.

Mistake 9: Ignoring Credit Usage

Large requests usually require more computation. Instead of
Start with
This gives you better control over quality and credit usage.

Mistake 10: Using Images Without References

Reference images dramatically improve image generation. Good workflow: Reference Image Detailed Prompt ↓ Much Better Results

Mistake 11: Using Long Videos With Lots Of Text

Current AI video models work best with:
  • short scenes
  • minimal text
  • readable subtitles
  • clear instructions
Avoid large paragraphs of text inside videos.

Mistake 12: Publishing Without Reviewing

Always verify:
  • Layout
  • Mobile responsiveness
  • Links
  • Forms
  • Images
  • Authentication
  • SEO
  • Accessibility
before publishing.

Mistake 13: Confusing Top-Ups With Subscriptions

A very common misunderstanding. Subscription
  • Monthly payment
  • Monthly credits
  • Hosting
  • AI access
Top-Up Credits
  • One-time purchase
  • Never expire
  • Do not renew your subscription
  • Do not change your billing cycle

Mistake 14: Cancelling After Renewal

Subscriptions renew automatically on your billing date. If you don’t wish to continue, cancel before your next renewal. Navigate to:

Mistake 15: Letting Projects Become Too Large

As projects grow:
  • architecture becomes more complex
  • prompts become harder
  • AI needs more context
Regularly:
  • organize components
  • remove unused code
  • keep project structure clean

Best Practices

Give Context

Explain your project before asking for changes.

One Task At A Time

Small prompts usually produce better results.

Protect Existing Code

Tell AI what should remain unchanged.

Use Preview

Always preview before publishing.

Review Everything

AI-generated content should always be reviewed.

Iterate

Improve previous prompts instead of starting over.

Use References

Reference images improve quality significantly.

Keep Projects Organized

Clean projects are easier for AI to understand.

Checklist Before Clicking Generate

Common Mistake Checklist
βœ… Did I explain my goal? βœ… Did I give enough context? βœ… Did I specify the framework? βœ… Did I protect existing code? βœ… Did I mention what shouldn’t change? βœ… Am I changing only one feature? βœ… Did I upload references if needed? βœ… Will I preview before publishing?
