A link on my site doesn't work
A dead link is a small betrayal — a visitor trusts it, clicks, and hits nothing. On a bernard-hosted site you fix it by describing the link, and the AI does the detective work.
How it works
- Get your access prompt. Log in to bernard, open your site, and copy the prompt from Edit with AI (it contains a key that works for 12 hours).
- Paste it into your AI — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whichever you already use — then ask in your own words, or use the prompt below.
- Approve. The AI sends back a preview link. Click the repaired link on the preview, press Approve, and it's live.
If you're not sure where the link should point any more, say so — the AI can suggest the best destination from your own pages, or simply take the link out cleanly.
The prompt
“There's a broken link on my [page name] page — the one labelled [the link text]. Fix it so it points to [where it should go], or remove it if there's nowhere right for it to point.”
The [bracketed] parts are yours to fill in. First time? Log in to bernard → your site → Edit with AI → copy your access prompt, paste that into your AI first, then ask the above.
Questions people ask
- How do I fix a broken link on my website?
- If your site is hosted with bernard, tell the AI you already use — ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini — which link is broken and where it should go. It repairs the link through bernard, and nothing goes live until you approve it on a preview page.
- Can the AI check my whole site for broken links?
- Yes — ask it to go through every page and check the links between them. It can fix links to pages that have moved and remove ones that point nowhere, and you'll see each change listed before you approve.
- Why do links break in the first place?
- Usually because the page they point to was renamed or removed — on your own site or someone else's. When you remove or rename a page on a bernard site, ask the AI to update anything that links to it at the same time.
