How to ask the AI well

How the AI works on your project

You describe what you want in the project chat. In Build mode, the AI makes the change, checks that everything works and saves a new version, which shows in the preview. In Plan mode, an architect writes the project plan alongside and doesn't touch the code until you ask it to build. Every request uses credits; see AI credits.

Be specific

The AI gets it right more often when it knows what, where and how. Compare a vague request with a specific one:

One change at a time

• Ask for one thing per message, check it in the preview and only then move on. It's easier to see what changed and undo it if needed.
• Requests that bundle several features (sign-in, a database, dashboards, payments), rebuild the site or change every page count as large: they take 8 to 20 minutes and use 10 credits. The chat tells you and asks you to confirm first.
• If you don't have enough credits for a large request, the chat suggests smaller parts. Click Use this request to send one of them.

Show what you mean

• Images: paste (Ctrl+V), drop or attach up to 4 images per request, up to 5 MB each, in PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or SVG. They serve as a reference for layout, colors or content and are used in Build mode.
• Text files: attach a brief as .txt or .md, a table as .csv or any other text with the site's real content.
• Part of the code: in the Code tab, select lines to focus the request on them.
• In the visual editor: use Select elements (S) to pick the block you want to change, or Attach a screenshot to the chat.

Each way of attaching is covered in Add context.

Plan before big changes

1. 1

   Switch the chat to Plan

   The architect talks the project through and writes the plan in the Plan tab, without touching the code. Each request to the architect uses 1 credit.

2. 2

   Refine the plan until it's right

   Ask it to add, remove or detail pages, data and rules. Every edit creates a new version of the plan.

3. 3

   Generate the tasks and build from the board

   Generate tasks breaks the plan into tasks. On each one, Send to chat asks for it to be built. To build it all at once, use Build the whole plan.

4. 4

   Follow the tasks

   Each built task goes through an automatic check and moves to Done, or back to To do with the reason.

Say what must not change

When a change is delicate, also say what should stay as it is, for example “keep the header, the colors and the current copy”. And give real information about your business, such as services, prices and hours, instead of letting the AI fill in examples.
