A bit obvious to some but i’ve had a great weekend working with my favorite llm to troubleshoot an advanced flow. It reminded me to clean up unused variables after it helped me also with a “cleaner” solution.

Normal llm warnings exist: I was suggested a non usable solution at first but I managed to adjust it and move on.

Thought I’ll share and encourage others from playing with their favorite llm before wasting an hour troubleshooting or designing a complicated advanced flow.

Curiosity Killed the Cat, but what is your “favorite LLM”?

I played with chatgpt and the result was ok. Combining it with prompt cowboy improved the result, but still not perfect.  
I did not try other AI tools yet.

Perhaps I should add that my own flows are not perfect either…

I use Gemini

typing in stuff or attaching screenshots of my advanced flows. It already knows my family a bit so half the time when it gets proactively helpful it is actually useful
