Weweb please please let us use our tokens with the support AI wiera because the regular AI chat ask mode is nonfunctional
Why is it that the support AI WIERA is a MILLION times better than the actual Weweb AI?
The Ask function on the AI is basically useless. It doesn’t even know what things in the interface are called or where they are. I asked it to explain to me how re-order list elements work and the description was so vague. I couldn’t figure anything out.
Then I asked the support chat AI and the answer was amazing. Absolutely any question I had. It knew exactly what I was talking about and was able to give me a very clear answer allowing me to make extremely rapid progress, UNTIL a support guy hopped into the chat and told me that I can’t use it to actually learn how to use weweb because it’s too expensive.
Like what? You guys have a tool that can allow someone to learn how to use Weweb extremely clearly and rapidly, and we can’t use it?
…and the tool that we DO pay for doesn’t work?
please please allow us to use the support AI with our tokens. I would GLADLY pay for it to be able to make rapid progress.
EXAMPLE OUTPUT FROM THE WEWEB AI ASK MODE
Was asking about how to make more categories in the reorder list element.
AI:
To increase the number of category names and group items under different categories in your reorder list component, you need to modify the JavaScript formula in the defaultValue of the items property. Here’s how to do it:
Step 1: Access the Reorder List Component
Open WeWeb Editor: Log in to your WeWeb account and navigate to the project containing the reorder list component.
Select the Reorder List: Click on the reorder list component (UID: 183cd7bf-0067-4e4d-97f9-70844151a4ab) to open the settings panel.
Step 2: Modify the Items Property
Locate the Items Property: In the settings panel, find the default property under items. You should see the JavaScript formula that defines the items.
Edit the JavaScript Formula: Modify the formula to include multiple categories, each followed by three items. Here’s an example of how to structure it:
javascript
Copy code
return [
{ type: “category”, name: “Category 1” },
{ type: “item”, name: “Item 1.1” },
{ type: “item”, name: “Item 1.2” },
{ type: “item”, name: “Item 1.3” },
{ type: "category", name: "Category 2" },
{ type: "item", name: "Item 2.1" },
{ type: "item", name: "Item 2.2" },
{ type: "item", name: "Item 2.3" },
{ type: "category", name: "Category 3" },
{ type: "item", name: "Item 3.1" },
{ type: "item", name: "Item 3.2" },
{ type: "item", name: "Item 3.3" },
// Add more categories and items as needed
];
Step 3: Save Changes
Save Your Work: After modifying the JavaScript formula, ensure you save your project.
Step 4: Preview Your Changes
Preview the Application: Use the preview feature to see how your changes look in the application. Check that the new categories and items are displayed correctly.
Summary
Select the reorder list component and open the settings panel.
Locate the default property under items and edit the JavaScript formula.
Structure the formula to include multiple categories, each followed by three items.
Save your changes and preview the application to see the updates.
By following these steps, you should be able to create multiple categories with groups of items under each category in your reorder list component. If you have any further questions or need clarification on specific parts, let me know!
PROBLEMS:
- it didn’t explain where to do this
- I couldn’t, when I looked at any formula areas within the style or the settings panel, it didn’t look like anything that it was describing to me.
- It didn’t mention anything about creating a data collection or how to do that
- When I ask it about where to click and find things over and over it just keeps repeating itself and doesn’t tell me where in the UI to click, It doesn’t even know what the sections of the UI are properly called.
- Ultimately useless since I couldn’t find any of the things it was talking about in the interface

Yes, you can add more category headings to the Reorder List element. The key is setting up your data structure correctly.
The Reorder List is organized into a Stack with Header, Items, and Footer containers. In the Items container, you can edit the JSON object to add or remove elements as needed.
For multiple categories, you need two separate data sets:
-
A “category” data set for your headings
-
An “items” data set where each item has a category field that relates to a specific category
This data structure prevents items from duplicating across categories when you add new ones. You can manually edit the Items container within the Reorder List to build this structure and learn how our platform works.
ME - i dont know how or where to add those
To add category headings and items to your Reorder List, you’ll work within the Items container:
Where to add them:
-
Select your Reorder List element
-
Navigate to the Items container within the Stack
-
Look for the Items property in the configuration panel
How to add them:
-
The Items property contains a JSON object with your list data
-
You can directly edit this JSON to add or remove elements
-
Each item in your JSON should include the category information
For multiple categories, structure your data like this:
-
Create a “category” data set for your headings
-
Create an “items” data set where each item has a category field that links to a specific category
This prevents items from duplicating across categories when you add new ones.
The key is editing the JSON object within the Items container to build the structure you need.
me - What do you mean by create a category data set for your headings? In the sidebar there is a flex box which contains the category name.
I understand your confusion. When we say “create a category data set,” we mean setting up your data structure with two separate collections:
Category data set: A list of your category headings (like “Fruits,” “Vegetables,” “Dairy”)
Items data set: A list of your actual items, where each item has a field that links it to a specific category
The flex box you see in the sidebar with the category name is displaying data from your category data set. Each item in your reorder list needs a category field that matches to one of these categories.
This setup prevents items from showing up in multiple categories when you add new ones. Each line item has a reference to a specific category, so when you filter items for display, you only show items where the category matches the current heading.
The key is structuring your data this way before building the visual elements.
me- HOW do I create a data set? Give me step-by-step instructions literally in the interface. Where do I click?
Here are the exact steps to create a data set (collection) in WeWeb:
Step 1: Go to the Data tab
-
Look at the left sidebar in your WeWeb editor
-
Click on the Data tab
Step 2: Create a new collection
-
Click the + New button under Collections
-
Give your collection a name (like “Categories” or “Items”)
Step 3: Set up your data source
-
Select your data source from the dropdown
-
Configure how to fetch the data
-
Click fetch to test it
If you don’t have a data source plugin yet, you’ll need to add one first:
-
Click Plugins in the top navigation
-
Select Data Sources
-
Choose a data source and click Add
Once you create your collections this way, you can use them in your Reorder List element.
WIERA IS ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE MORE CLEAR
- actually has knowledge of the Weweb interface
- is easily able to direct users and instruct them how to use Weweb through conversation.
With Wiera, I was easily able to start learning about the basic principles and about data structures, but with the WeWeb AI, I was basically stuck and extremely confused. I am so confused that such an amazing tool is not available for us to pay to use and the tool we do have is orders of magnitude worse.
And then to be told to check the documents which are very outdated or to check the WeWeb community, Or the new videos which are heavily AI focused and don’t really go through the instruction as much, It honestly feels pretty unfair.
