Promptables LENS Brings Real Quality Control to AI-Generated Frontends
AI-assisted development is fast—sometimes too fast. If you’ve ever spun up a frontend with tools like Lovable.dev, Vercel v0, or Cursor, you’ve likely seen some version of this: broken layouts, buttons that don’t work, unresponsive nav bars, or forms that lead nowhere. These issues might not break your whole app, but they do break the user experience—and your momentum.
That’s where Promptables LENS comes in. Designed for non-technical AI builders, LENS is your front-end QA assistant: it scans your AI-generated components for broken logic, visual bugs, and missing functionality, then gives you precise, natural-language prompts you can paste back into your AI coding tool to fix everything fast.
AI-generated frontends look sleek—but without structured prompt methods, they can ship with hidden bugs—a challenge echoed in What AI Agents Still Can’t Do (And Probably Won’t Anytime Soon).
What Is Promptables LENS?
Promptables LENS is a specialized frontend quality control tool for people who build with AI. Whether you’re using Lovable, Bolt.new, or Cursor, LENS slots into your workflow like a dedicated QA engineer—but one who speaks prompt language, not code.
It works by analyzing individual component files from your GitHub repo. Once connected, it scans for visual, structural, and functional issues. Think of it as a targeted x-ray for UI problems: broken buttons, incomplete user flows, missing alt text, and more.
And the best part? You don’t need to write a single fix yourself. LENS gives you clean prompts tailored to your AI tool so you can patch every issue without breaking flow.
LENS brings the precision missing from many AI coding tools—giving developers QA-style prompts to catch visual, UX, or logic issues—similar to how prompt workflows can elevate precision in AI Pair Programming Is Out Here’s What’s Replacing It.
How to Use LENS in Your Workflow
Using Promptables LENS is simple and fits directly into your AI dev cycle. Here’s the basic flow:
- Connect your AI dev tool to GitHub. Make sure your project components are pushed to a repo.
- Find the component you want to check—go to main > components > YourComponent.tsx.
- Click “Raw” on GitHub to get the direct link to the file.
- Paste the raw URL into Promptables LENS. Let it do its scan.
Important: only analyze one component at a time. This helps LENS give you precise, actionable feedback. Once you apply the fixes, re-run the analysis to verify the component is clean before moving on.
Offering structured steps rather than guesswork, LENS fits into prompt-based dev cycles the same way SPARK and FLOW structure workflows in Smarter Ways to Work Through LLM Burnout.
What LENS Detects—and Why It Matters
Promptables LENS organizes its findings into three categories: Visual/Layout, Functionality, and Content & UX.
Visual & Layout Issues
- Broken HTML tags or bad JSX structure
- Background images that don’t display
- Layouts that collapse on mobile
- Non-semantic markup that hurts accessibility
Functionality Bugs
- Buttons without click handlers
- Forms that don’t submit
- Pages missing navigation logic
- Components that reference undefined variables
UX Gaps
- No alt text on images
- Forms without validation
- Dead ends in navigation
- Incomplete user flows
Each of these isn’t just a “nice to fix” problem—they directly affect how real users experience your product. LENS helps you catch these early, before you ship.

From Checklist to Fix: LENS Prompts in Action
What makes LENS powerful isn’t just that it finds problems—it tells you exactly how to fix them.
Each issue comes with a pre-written prompt. Here’s what that looks like in action:
Issue: “Submit” button on a form has no logic
Prompt: “Add a click handler to the submit button that sends form data to the API endpoint and shows a success message.”
Issue: Mobile nav menu doesn’t collapse
Prompt: “Make the navigation responsive with a hamburger menu for mobile and smooth opening/closing transitions.”
You just paste these into your AI coding tool (Cursor, Lovable, Bolt.new, etc.) and hit go. Then re-run LENS to confirm it’s fixed.
The result? Clean components, fewer surprises during deployment, and a smoother build loop.

Common Pitfalls (And How to Avoid Them)
Promptables LENS works best when used intentionally. Here are some mistakes to watch for:
- Don’t analyze multiple components at once. LENS is precise because it scopes tightly—keep it focused on one component per scan.
- Don’t rewrite the prompts yourself. The prompts are optimized to work directly with your AI tool. Use them as-is for best results.
- Don’t skip re-analysis. Fixes sometimes introduce new issues. Run LENS again to make sure everything holds together.
To save credits and time, prioritize functionality bugs over design polish. Broken buttons matter more than pixel-perfect spacing.
Final Thoughts
Promptables LENS isn’t just a code scanner—it’s a way to bring real QA thinking into AI development. It helps non-technical builders catch what the AI misses, fix it with confidence, and ship production-quality components without stalling momentum.
If you’re building fast with AI, don’t skip quality. Hook up GitHub, grab your component link, and let LENS be your co-pilot in frontend reliability.
Fix first. Re-analyze. Ship fast. That’s the LENS way.
