Plan mode

By default, GenVibe builds as soon as you send a prompt. Plan mode adds a step before that: GenVibe thinks with you first — asking a few quick questions and laying out a plan — and only starts building once you approve it.

It's great for bigger or fuzzier ideas where you want to steer the direction before a single file is written.

Build vs Plan

Next to the send button there's a mode dropdown:

• Build (default) — Make changes directly. You describe something and GenVibe builds it immediately. Best for quick apps and small edits.
• Plan — Discuss before building. GenVibe asks clarifying questions and/or writes an implementation plan, then waits for your go-ahead.

Switching to Plan doesn't change anything else — your prompt box, models, and Web/Mobile choice all work the same.

How Plan mode works

1. Switch the dropdown to Plan and describe what you want.
2. If your idea needs a few decisions, GenVibe shows a short set of multiple-choice questions (for example: "Who signs in — just you, or a team?"). Pick an option, type your own, or skip.
3. GenVibe writes a clear plan — what it'll build, the key screens, any data it needs, and the build steps.
4. Review it. Then:

   • Approve & build — GenVibe starts building, following the plan.
   • Or reply with changes ("skip the calendar for now", "make it a single page") and it revises the plan.

Nothing is built and no code is scaffolded until you approve — so planning is a safe, no-commitment conversation.

When to use it

• Bigger apps with several screens or features, where you want to agree on scope first.
• Fuzzy ideas where you're not sure exactly what you want yet — the questions help you decide.
• Getting the data model right before building on top of it.

For quick, obvious apps and small tweaks, plain Build mode is faster — just describe it and go.

Tips

• Answer the questions honestly, or skip the ones you don't care about — GenVibe fills the rest with sensible defaults.
• You can keep refining the plan in chat before approving; treat it like briefing a teammate.
• Once you approve, you're in the normal build loop — keep chatting to refine, exactly like a Build-mode app.
