The blueprint chat is a streaming conversation tied to your blueprint. Use it for changes that span multiple sections, or for changes you can describe but do not want to manually click through. This page covers how to iterate effectively.Documentation Index

Opening the blueprint chat
The blueprint chat is available from the blueprint page. Open it from the side panel. The chat scrolls beside the blueprint, so you can watch sections update as you talk to it.What it does well
- Multi-section changes — “drop the messaging module, simplify the user types to just admin and customer, switch from Stripe to Lemon Squeezy.”
- Refinements — “the checkout module should support guest checkout.”
- Asking questions — “what does the admin user type include right now?”
- Trying alternatives — “show me what this would look like with a marketplace structure instead of a single-tenant app.”
How to phrase changes
Describe what you want, not what to do step-by-step. The chat understands the blueprint structure and will edit the right sections. Examples:- Good: “Make this an internal tool — drop the public marketing pages.”
- Good: “Add a billing dashboard for admins.”
- Avoid: “Open the modules card. Click the Marketing module. Click delete.” (verbose; not necessary)
Conversation history
The chat keeps a history of your conversation. You can scroll back, pick up where you left off, or start a new conversation thread.When direct edit is better
If you are doing a small, surgical change (rename a module, tweak a description), just edit the section directly. The chat is for changes that touch several places at once.FAQ
