Chat & Message Issues

Problem: Message Disappeared

Causes:

  • Browser connection lost during generation

  • Server timeout

  • Sync issue between browser and server

Solutions:

  1. Refresh the page (F5 or Cmd+R)

  2. Check if message appears after refresh

  3. If not, start a new message

  4. If happens repeatedly: Contact support immediately

Prevention:

  • Stable internet connection

  • Don't close tab during generation

  • For very long requests, break into smaller chunks


Problem: Chat Won't Load

Causes:

  • Browser cache issues

  • Connection problems

  • Server maintenance (rare)

Solutions:

  1. Hard refresh: Ctrl+Shift+R (Windows) or Cmd+Shift+R (Mac)

  2. Clear browser cache and cookies for lazylines.ai

  3. Try incognito/private browsing mode

  4. Try different browser

  5. Check https://status.lazylines.ai (coming soon) for service status


Problem: Cannot Abort Generation

Current Limitation: The abort/stop generation feature is currently in development.

Workarounds:

  1. Wait for generation to complete

  2. Start a new chat if you need to ask something else urgently

  3. Once complete, ask AI to revise the output

Coming Soon: Stop button will be added in upcoming updates.


Context Window & Token Limits

Problem: "Context Window Exceeded" Error

What This Means: Your conversation has become too long for the AI model to process. Every message, file, link, and response uses "tokens" (context space).

What Uses Context:

  • Every message you send

  • Every AI response

  • Files you upload

  • Links you add (especially profiles with 10-20 posts)

  • Brand Profile (when toggled on)

Solutions:

Immediate Fix - Switch to Gemini 2.5 Flash:

  1. Click the model selector

  2. Choose "Gemini 2.5 Flash"

  3. It has 1 million token context window (massive)

  4. Continue your conversation

Long-term Fix - Start New Chat:

  1. Save any important content from current chat

  2. Click "New Chat" or go to /new

  3. Summarize what you need from previous context in first message

  4. Example: "Previously we researched productivity content. Now I need scripts based on those findings: [paste key insights]"

Prevention:

  • Use Gemini 2.5 Flash for research-heavy chats

  • Start new chats for distinct projects

  • Don't upload unnecessarily large files

  • Turn off Brand Profile for simple questions


Problem: Response Gets Cut Off Mid-Sentence

Cause: AI hit its output token limit (maximum response length)

Solutions:

  1. Ask: "Continue from where you left off"

  2. Or: "Finish the previous response"

  3. AI will pick up and complete

Prevention:

  • For very long content, request it in sections

  • Instead of: "Write 10 full scripts"

  • Try: "Write scripts 1-3" then "Now write scripts 4-6"


File Upload Issues

Problem: File Won't Upload

Common Causes:

1. File Too Large:

  • Current limit: 5MB per file

  • Check file size before uploading

  • Solution: Compress files, reduce video quality, or split into smaller parts

2. Unsupported Format:

  • Supported: CSV, Excel, PDF, PNG, JPG, SVG, TXT, DOCX, MP4, MP3, and most common formats

  • Solution: Convert to supported format

3. Corrupted File:

  • File may be damaged

  • Solution: Try re-downloading or re-exporting the file

4. Browser Issues:

  • Solution: Clear cache, try different browser


Problem: File Uploaded But AI Can't Read It

Possible Causes:

  • PDF might be image-based (not text-searchable)

  • File encoding issues

  • File is password-protected

Solutions:

  1. For image-based PDFs: Use OCR tool first

  2. For protected files: Remove password

  3. Try uploading as different format (e.g., copy text to .txt file)


Link Processing Issues

Problem: "Failed to Fetch Link"

Common Causes:

1. Private/Restricted Content:

  • Profile is private

  • Post was deleted

  • Content requires login

  • Solution: Use public content only

2. Invalid URL:

  • URL is malformed

  • Platform not supported

  • Solution: Double-check URL, ensure it's from supported platform

3. Platform Rate Limiting:

  • Too many requests to that platform in short time

  • Solution: Wait 5-10 minutes, try again

4. Timeout:

  • Profile has too many posts

  • Processing takes too long

  • Solution: Try again or use a different profile


Problem: Profile Link Takes Too Long

Expected Time: 15-25 seconds for profiles (extracting 10-20 posts)

If It's Taking Longer:

  • Profile has many posts (processing more data)

  • Platform is slow to respond

  • Wait up to 45 seconds before considering it failed

If It Fails:

  • Try single post from that profile instead

  • Or use a competitor with fewer posts


Credit & Usage Issues

Problem: Credits Depleting Faster Than Expected

Check What's Using Credits:

High Credit Usage:

  • Using Claude 4.5 Sonnet or Grok 4 (premium models)

  • Long conversations with many back-and-forth messages

  • Processing many videos/profiles

  • Generating very long content (full scripts)

Solutions:

  1. Switch to Gemini 2.5 Flash for research and simple tasks

  2. Batch requests instead of multiple short messages

  3. Be more specific in first request (avoid back-and-forth)

  4. Turn off Brand Profile for non-content questions

Monitor Usage:

  • Check credit balance in Settings

  • Track which tasks use most credits

  • Adjust model choice accordingly


Problem: Reached Profile Analysis Limit

Limits:

  • Pro: 20 analyses/month

  • Business: 100 analyses/month

What Counts:

  • Each unique profile analyzed in Profile Analyst

  • Re-analyzing same profile counts again

  • Single post analysis does NOT count

Solutions:

  1. Use Search in Inspiration page instead (doesn't count)

  2. Add specific post URLs instead of profiles (doesn't count)

  3. Upgrade to Business for 100/month

  4. Wait for monthly reset

Strategic Usage:

  • Identify your top competitors

  • Analyze them once per month

  • Use individual post analysis for one-off research
