After your first build, the chat panel becomes your editor. Anything you can describe in plain English the AI can usually do, from one-line copy tweaks to adding entire pages. This article covers how to phrase those requests so they land cleanly the first time.
Edits work best when the AI knows exactly what part of the site you are talking about. Phrases like the hero section, the testimonial under Services, the CTA button at the bottom of Home, or the navigation bar are easy for the AI to locate. Vague references like that thing at the top can land in the wrong place.
If you can see the element in the preview, you can also use the visual edit overlay. Hover over the preview, click the element you want to change, and a popover lets you describe the change in context. The AI then knows exactly which file and which element you mean, which removes any ambiguity from the request.
The AI handles a single, well-scoped change very reliably. When you stack three or four unrelated requests into one message, the chance that something gets missed or misunderstood goes up. If you want to do five things, send them as five short messages. You will end up with a cleaner site faster, and you can see the result of each change before deciding whether to keep iterating.
The mode selector next to the chat input toggles between Build and Plan. In Build mode, anything you send results in a code change. In Plan mode, the AI talks through your idea, asks clarifying questions if useful, and suggests an approach without touching the site. Plan mode is great for exploring options, like asking what the homepage would look like if it led with reviews instead of services, before you commit to making the change.
You can ask the AI to replace any image with a new generated one matching a description, or to rewrite a section in a different tone. To put a specific image of your own onto the site, right-click the image you want to replace in the preview and upload your file from the menu. The AI swaps it in place without touching the surrounding layout.
The image upload button and drag-and-drop on the chat input are a different feature. Anything you attach to chat is used as a visual reference for the AI, not added to the site directly. Reach for chat attachments when you want to communicate a mood, a layout direction, or a style of photography. Reach for the right-click image menu in the preview when you want a specific photo of yours to appear on the page.
If the overall direction is wrong, sometimes it is faster to scrap the build and write a clearer prompt than to iterate your way back to a different vision. From the home screen, start a new chat with a more specific description. Your old site stays in the dashboard if you want to come back to it later.
Every change you make is tracked, so you can roll back if an edit goes sideways. If a change made things worse, just ask the AI to undo it or revert to the previous version, and the preview will update accordingly. Iterating with confidence that you can step back is a big part of what makes the chat-driven workflow productive.
