Agent Modes - Zite - Help Center

Zite’s agent modes control what kind of work the agent does. Use them to decide whether Zite should build, plan, or answer questions before changing your project.

Choose the right mode

Mode	Best for	Makes changes?
Build mode	Creating, updating, or fixing your app	Yes
Plan mode	Scoping and clarifying requirements before building	No, it creates a plan
Chat mode	Asking questions or getting suggestions	No

For large projects or unclear requirements, start in Plan mode. It helps clarify scope before Zite makes changes.

Switching modes

On the Zite app editor, click the Mode control on the lower left and choose the mode you want. You can also press Shift + Tab or Cmd/Ctrl + . on your keyboard.
