  • 1.  Need help troubleshooting Bob Coins returns

    Posted 07/21/26 07:59 AM
    Hi all,
    Is there a way to get coins back when bob produces results that do not work at all, or gets stuck and cannot finish returning an answer? It's very frustrating to ask it to do something like create a simple maintenance program, and it starts looking at the source on YOUR system, gives an answer, and it has so many issues you spend the next hour watching bog say, working on it, I have it now, the answer is clear, etc. only to have it return unusable results.
    Thanks in advance.

    1. I'd ask if you updated to Bob 2 which works better.
    2. The answer is FAT CHANCE, your Bob coins went into the slot machine and you got a lemon, a cherry, and an orange.
    3. The better you prompt the better results you get.
    4. I get good results using multiple agentic code assist tools back and forth on the same assignment.
      1. Bob
      2. Zoo Code
      3. Kilo
      4. Gemini

    ... and so forth.
