The big idea
AI is great at finding bugs — typos, missing pieces, or stuff that doesn't quite work. Just paste in your code and ask!
Some examples
- 'Why doesn't this Python loop work?' + your code → AI explains the bug.
- 'My Scratch sprite won't move — here's the code...' → AI suggests fixes.
- AI can spot missing brackets, semicolons, or wrong indents.
- AI explains WHY the bug happens, not just how to fix it.
Try it!
Next time your code doesn't work, ask AI to explain what might be wrong before asking a grown-up. You might fix it yourself!

Debug With Error Receipts
Do not tell the AI 'it broke.' Bring receipts: URL, action, expected result, actual result, console error, network error, and the exact time it happened.
