What's actually wrong
The real cause, in plain words, pointing to the exact spot it found.
A second opinion when your build gets stuck
Stuck? Ask a second AI to check the first one's work. A different model reviews what your builder tried and tells you what's actually wrong, plus the one thing to do next.
- Reads your app. Changes nothing
- Usually about a minute
- Price shown before it runs
Three steps, all in your chat
When one AI gets stuck, experienced builders paste the problem into a different one and ask what it thinks. Second opinion builds that into the editor. There's nothing to set up: when the builder is going in circles, the offer appears under its latest reply.
-
It notices you're stuck
Say you've told the builder 3 times in a row that the same thing still isn't fixed. Under its next reply, you'll see a short offer with the price. Pick Get a second opinion or No thanks.
-
A fresh look at your app
As soon as you click, the card says it's working. A different AI model checks your builder's work, reading your app's files with a clean slate. You can keep using the editor while it works.
-
A clear answer
The answer shows up in your chat on its own, with no need to refresh. It covers what's wrong, where the problem is, and the one next step.
A short answer in three parts
No long report. You get just enough to understand the problem and get moving.
Where the problem is
Whether the fix belongs in your app's code or somewhere else, so you stop changing code that was already right.
The one next step
One specific thing to do next, not a list of maybes.
Where the problem is: four possible answers
The second part of every answer is always one of these.
Your app's code
The code needs a change.
Not your code: a publishing step or a setting
The code is right. Something else needs doing, like publishing.
Overskill itself
Something on our side. Your app's code can't fix it.
Not certain from what it could read
When it can't be sure, it says so instead of guessing.
One click to hand it to the builder
Unless the fix is something you do yourself or something on our side, the answer comes with an Apply this button. It sends the next step to your chat as your next message, just as if you'd typed it. The builder takes it from there, on the same model your chat already uses. That message costs credits like any other.
No button when the builder can't help. If the fix is something you do yourself, like publishing or changing a setting, the step shows as plain instructions, so you don't pay for a build turn that can't do it. If the problem is on Overskill's side, the step tells you to contact support and share the diagnosis.
You see the most it can cost before it runs
The offer shows a price cap. You'll never pay more than that.
Up to
500 credits
Usually less. You pay for what it actually used, never more than the number on the card.
Sometimes free
If an earlier reply in the same stuck stretch said the job was done when it wasn't, the offer says Free this time. We caused that loop, so you don't pay to get out of it.
No answer, no charge
If a second opinion can't finish, you see a short note, you aren't charged, and the offer comes back. You get up to 2 tries for each stuck problem.
A real example: "The heading is still wrong"
From a test run on a real app in the Overskill editor.
- A creator asked the builder to change their app's main heading. The builder made the change.
- They checked their live site, saw the old heading, and said so. The builder changed the code again. Then again. Three rounds, same complaint.
- The offer appeared. They clicked Get a second opinion.
- About a minute later: nothing was wrong with the code. The new heading was already in every recent version, but none of those versions had been published, so the live site still showed the old one. The next step: open Publish, wait for it to finish, and refresh.
- Because the fix was publishing, not code, there was no Apply button and no extra build turn to pay for. Just the step to take.
Good to know
Will it change my app?
No. A second opinion can only read your app. It can't edit, create, or delete anything. Nothing changes unless you choose to act on the answer.
Why is a fresh look better than asking the builder again?
A long back-and-forth can lock onto the wrong theory, and each new attempt builds on it. A second opinion doesn't read that history. It gets a short summary of the problem and what's been tried, then looks at your actual files with a clean slate.
Does it switch my chat to a different model?
No. The second opinion runs on its own, separate from your chat. Your chat keeps the model you picked, including when you use Apply this.
What if I don't want one?
Click No thanks and the offer goes away. It's never required, and it never runs without your click.
What if the answer is wrong?
It's advice, not an action. Read it, and act on it only if it makes sense to you. If it can't tell what's wrong from what it can read, it says Not certain
instead of guessing.
Can I keep working while it runs?
Yes. Your chat stays open while it works, and the answer appears when it's ready, even if you switched to another tab.
Stuck less. Build more.
When the builder gets stuck, a second opinion helps you get moving again.
