How to Switch Modes

1

Find the mode selector

Look for the AI mode selector in the chat input area at the bottom of the Build tab.
2

Open the selector

Click the current mode name to open the mode picker.
3

Choose your mode

Select the mode you want to use.
4

Send your message

Your next message will use the new mode. That’s it.
You can also select your mode on the Home Page before starting a new project.

​
When to Use Each Mode

Use Quick mode when you’re trying different approaches, making small tweaks, or exploring ideas. It gives you fast responses at the lowest cost.Example prompts for Quick mode:
"Change the button color to blue"
"Add a back button to this screen"
"Try a different layout for the list"
Enhanced is the default for good reason. It produces the best visual designs, polished UIs, and well-structured code. Use this for most projects.Example prompts for Enhanced mode:
"Build a settings page with profile photo, name, and toggles"
"Create a dashboard with charts and a summary card"
"Design a modern onboarding flow with three steps"
Use Max when your app has intricate business logic, nested data relationships, or when you’re stuck on a difficult bug. Max reasons deeply about complex problems.Example prompts for Max mode:
"The data isn't syncing correctly between tabs — debug this"
"Build a scheduling system that handles recurring events and conflicts"
"Refactor the navigation to support deep linking"

​
How Modes Affect Bits

Different modes consume bits at different rates. More powerful modes use more bits per message, but there’s a nuance worth understanding.
Enhanced mode often costs the same or less than Quick mode for the same task, because it makes fewer mistakes and needs fewer iterations. It’s the default for a reason.

​
The Default: Enhanced

We recommend Enhanced mode for most users and most projects. Here’s why:
  • Best-looking UIs — Enhanced produces the most polished visual designs of any mode
  • Fewer mistakes — It gets things right more often than Quick, saving you retries
  • Cost-effective — Roughly the same total cost as Quick for most tasks, because fewer iterations are needed
  • Default for every new project — You don’t need to change anything to get started
Only switch away from Enhanced when you have a specific reason to. If you need faster responses for small tweaks, drop to Quick. If you’re dealing with complex logic or a tough bug, step up to Max.
Switching to Quick mode to “save bits” can backfire. If the AI makes more mistakes, you’ll spend more bits fixing them than you saved.
