    Mode Switcher

    Mode Switcher
  • Thinking Mode - Our default mode, this allows the AI to generate the highest quality results and when necessary review external resources to ensure accuracy.
  • Discussion Mode - chat without making edits. It can be important at times to prevent edits to your work and be able to ask questions of the builder about status, approach or specific features without allowing it to alter your current design.
  • Debug Mode - This mode is designed to help you overcome issues with your app or build, simply swap to debug mode and provide a succinct description of the issue. It will work to replicate and test a fix for you.
  • Fast Mode - Built for speed at the expense of quality, this mode is designed to get you results quickly. It is inferior to Thinking Mode in many ways, but uses less credits to generate code.
