In the next downgrade v0 can no longer build api requests properly

[will-2100]

As agent mode has been a calamity, I’ve seen bit by bit my functionality vanish.

Most recent creating basic api calls.

From day 1 with v0 I could share an example API request and have it change data. Maybe encounter a formatting error every now and again, then fix it. This is a simple thing ultimately right, pretty much copy paste with a parameter.

Now I can’t even get it to do this. with google AI studio, it keeps changing the API key it thinks we need, changing the docs it’s referring too, (despite me giving a concrete example). It decides to look it up again itself, loop around multiple sites, come back with bad information, implement badly - and of course spend a load of credits.

I could probably get this to work eventually, iron out prompts that finally specify enough guard rails to keep it on track. But I don’t want to. I spent countless hours with old v0 ironing these things out, learning the platform, to experience what can only be described as a rug pull.

I also noticed rolling back doesn’t seem to roll back chat context anymore, which it seemed to, so I can’t even dig myself out of a hole.

Luckily only about 2 projects probably left in here at which point I’ll finally vanish from the forum too, along with all the decent functionality.

If there’s a waitlist available for the old version of v0, please put me on it.

Have you tried the following ways:

• Add API to Project environment variable
• Save your instructions as .txt file and upload it to Project Knowledge Base

I haven’t and while I appreciate the positive advice to get it running, it’s my opinion that a simple API call is something that should be easy enough to copy and replace variables from a prompt. That always worked for me in the past, but each week it seems to be getting less reliable for me to achieve almost any task. In the end I pulled that project out of v0 too now, although the client wanted it here because it’s just become too limiting.

If I could come up with a real world analogy, it used to be a junior developer you could instruct. Now it’s a junior developer who just goes rogue and does what it thinks it should do, even with specific instructions - but it’s not senior enough to be actually doing this yet.
