Agent Mode

Agent Mode is the default chat mode in Nova. It uses the information in your prompt to build and modify your project. We recommend that you use Improve Prompt while in Agent Mode to structure your prompt and generate more specific outcomes.

Agent Mode works best when you want to generate your next project from a strong prompt. Common uses include:

• Building a first draft of your website or web app.
• Making small, iterative changes to an existing project.
• Continuing work after approving a plan in Plan Mode.

Using Agent Mode#

To enable Agent Mode, open the chat mode selector in the prompt toolbar and choose Agent ( ).

Then, enter a prompt describing your website or web app and click Start Building. For example, you could enter this prompt to build a simple, well-defined page directly:

Build a landing page for a local yoga studio with a class schedule, an About section, and a signup form for a free trial class. Use a calm, minimal design with soft greens and plenty of white space.

For more information about building with Nova, read our Getting Started documentation.

Troubleshooting#

Your project doesn’t start building after you click Start Building#

If Nova does not start building after you click Start Building, you may be out of credits. You can see your credit balance and refresh date in the Account Menu. For more information, read our Billing and AI Credits documentation.

Your project doesn’t match what you expected#

If the result doesn’t match what you wanted:

• Reply in chat with the missing details so Nova can regenerate the affected parts.
• Use Improve Prompt to add more detail and structure to your prompt before you try again.
• For more control before building, switch to Plan Mode to review and approve an implementation plan first.
