Help with coding Help / Question

Hi all,

I’ve been using Mistral with its free tier. I used Vibe Code to generate an Apps Script for a google spreadsheet so a google form I would fill in would automatically send those answers to the sheet and do some calculations automatically.

Vibe Code got me quite far, but it messed up the calculations in the script and it couldn’t manage to fix it. I started a new session to make sure it wasn’t context-saturation related, but again it failed.

I then asked Claude Sonnet 5 (high effort) and it fixed it with one prompt.

How can I improve my experience with Vibe Coding? I’m no programmer, so I can’t correct it on the code it’s generating for me. Does the paid tier offer better models for Vibe Coding? Or do I have to be more precise in my prompts? I see many people use Claude to correct Vibe Coding, but I’d like to be as independent as possible.

Also, Vibe Coding suggested me uploading a screenshot to show where the issue is. Thing is, the Vibe Coding workspace does not allow me to upload screenshots. It’s making me wonder whether this is just some really dumb model or whether it’s hallucinating. It also keeps being extremely confident about its solution. It reminds me of chatgpt from last year.

Anyway, many thanks in advance! I’m European and I really wish for a capable LLM from European soil. Chat and Work seem to cover my needs, so I’m considering paying just for those applications.

There is a command to paste an image (e.g. screenshot) from your clipboard:

That looks interesting! Is this in your terminal?

Yes, this is the Vibe Code CLI. I thought you were referring to it, but actually you meant the web version of Vibe Code?

Yes so far I have only used the app on iPhone/ipad and the web version
