Gadget Ai assistant times out after every request.
Hi, I had an issue with this a few months ago and it was checked on. And someone on the gadget team said they updated something for me. But I haven’t been able to use the gadget AI assistant in months, even if I start numerous new chats. It seems to constantly time out. Usually the timing out occurs when it’s reading over a file. But I’ve tried this with tons of different files. Reloaded, different browsers. Pretty much everything. I really wish I could use the AI assistant because it’s very very helpful. Let me know if this could be fixed for me. Thank you!

Hey, looking into this!
@Campbell Fisher I'm going to pull you into a beta we're doing to help solve this problem for your application. There's still a bit of work to do, but I'll let you know when you should try again.
Sounds good thank you for reaching out. I’ll try it again in a few hours and report back
Oh sorry I wasn't clear - you should let me reach out to you again hopefully before EOD tomorrow before trying. I don't think it's going to work for you until then
Oh gotcha! Okay makes sense I’ll be on standby haha
hey, give it a go and let me know if the assistant is able to work better for you now
will check
unfortunately so far im getting this. It was able to answer one question and then went straight to this again. Ill try opening a few more new chats still though

hmm ok, i’ll take another look at it today. so sorry
No worries man I’ve been without it for a while so it’s all good
Wanna try again @Campbell Fisher ?
Still for large files it times out. Not as instantly as it was, but I keep trying new chats. Sometimes It answers questions if it doesnt have to search through the files
Ok i have noticed after playing around with it even more. Its a lot better when you hit the assistant timed out button and where you click try again. It hasnt been on an endless loop recently where you need to start a new chat over and over but still getting timing out issues
i'll keep investigating @Campbell Fisher 🫡
Your app is huge btw which is stressing the assistant. But we need to get that right so once again, apologies, and thank you for pushing us to find these performance issues
I totally get it and once again no rush I appreciate you wanting to get it figured out too. Usually it seems like files with 2k+ lines of code where it times out which completely makes sense. I just want gadget to be as bulletproof as possible! Let me know whenever and I’ll try again 🙂
Let me know once again how it feels @Campbell Fisher
We landed some changes that I hope will help
I don't wanna jynx anything... But so far its performing very well. I will update again soon
Ok its been night and day. Been getting recently a few errors now. One timeout and one new one ive never seen. "OOM command not allowed under OOM prevention." but thats only when it tries to change multiple files at once. I know its not gonna be perfect so its very good as of now thank you for all your help
Thanks for the feedback 🙂 Glad to hear it is better - will keep looking into these other issues for you. Just keep letting us know here when you're facing issues and if anything is getting worse
