Which languages are supported?

Any language with a readable stack trace or error message: JavaScript/TypeScript/Node, Python, Java/Kotlin, Go, Rust, Ruby, PHP, C#, Swift, shell errors, compiler output, build tool failures. The tool identifies the language from the trace format and explains accordingly.

Will it actually fix my bug?

It gives you the 2 most likely fixes to try. For common errors (null access, type mismatch, missing import, version conflict) the suggestions are usually on target. For domain-specific bugs or errors that need project context, treat the output as a starting hypothesis rather than a guaranteed fix.

How much of the stack trace should I paste?

Paste the error message plus 5-20 frames. More is not always better — the top frames are usually where the bug is. Up to 8,000 characters per request. If the trace is huge, paste just the error line and the first few frames.

Does it explain library-specific errors?

Yes, as long as the error message and library name are in the trace. Popular frameworks (React, Next.js, Django, Rails, Spring, Express) are recognized. Obscure internal library errors may get a generic explanation.

Is my error message stored?

No. The error is sent to Amazon Nova Micro on AWS Bedrock for analysis. No logs, no storage. Only an aggregate request counter for daily-cap bookkeeping. Don't paste traces containing secrets (API keys in URLs, connection strings with credentials).
