Why the AI asks questions
Before generating code, the AI may ask 1-2 clarifying questions to make sure it builds what you actually want. This saves time by avoiding misunderstandings early.
What it asks about
Common topics the AI clarifies:
- Ambiguous features — “When you say ‘social features,’ do you mean a feed, messaging, or both?”
- Design preferences — “Do you prefer a light or dark theme?”
- Data structure — “Should users be able to create categories, or are the categories fixed?”
- Scope — “Should the app include user authentication, or is it a standalone tool?”
How to respond
- Be specific — “Both a feed and direct messaging” is better than “yes”
- Add detail — use your answer as a chance to add context you may have missed
- Say “you decide” — if you don’t have a preference, let the AI make the call
The AI typically asks at most 1-2 questions. If your initial prompt is detailed enough, it may skip questions entirely and start building.
After answering
Once the AI has enough information, it proceeds to:
- Create a development plan (architecture, screens, design system)
- Generate the code
- Show you a live preview
From there, you can iterate with follow-up messages — no need to start over.
