You can now use Plan mode for further control over the actions that the app building agent takes.

  1. Click to switch from Build mode to Plan mode and tell the agent what changes you want it to make.
  2. The agent creates a comprehensive plan, which is written as a Markdown file in the .plan folder. Click Review to view the file.
  3. Review the plan, and switch to the Markdown tab to make any changes. You can also ask the agent to update the plan.
  4. When you're ready, click Build plan.

That’s a great idea. It not only supports rapid AI development but also allows engineers to review the code first and remove any redundant code generated by the AI. What if, during the review process, the AI-generated code could be accompanied by a visual rendering for the developer to review?
