Anything App

Editor Modes

The editor has two modes: Build mode for changing your app and Ask mode for getting guidance without making changes.

Two ways to use the editor

Use the mode that matches your goal. If you want the AI to modify the app, use Build mode. If you want to understand the app, discuss an idea, or get advice first, use Ask mode.

Build mode

Build mode is the default mode for making changes. Each prompt generates a new version of your app with your requested changes applied.

Use Build mode for:

  • Adding new features.
  • Modifying existing functionality.
  • Fixing bugs or errors.
  • Adjusting the UI and layout.

Ask mode

Ask mode lets you ask questions without changing your app. Toggle to it by clicking the "Ask" button in the editor.

Use Ask mode for:

  • Understanding how your app works.
  • Getting suggestions for improvements.
  • Learning about platform features.
  • Exploring ideas before implementing them.

Choosing a mode

If you are ready for a change to be made, use Build mode. If you are still deciding what to build, trying to understand an error, or comparing options, use Ask mode first and switch back to Build mode when you know what you want changed.
