Picking a look when the Agent builds an app

Before the Agent builds a new app for you, it can show you three drawn looks. Pick one and the app is built in that style, or let the Agent choose.

When you ask the Agent to build a new app, it may stop to show you three looks first. The task card turns amber and says Pick a look for your app's name. Under it are three drawn looks, each with a short name and a one-line description. Swipe or use the arrows to compare them.

Your choices

  • Build this tells the Agent to use that look. It then builds your app, and the app starts from that look's fonts and colors.
  • Pick for me tells the Agent to go ahead and let the builder choose the look.
  • Type what you want in the message box instead, such as dark and minimal with big photos. The Agent reads your words and carries on.
  • Do nothing and after about a minute we pick for you and the Agent keeps going. Every swipe gives you another minute.

The first three looks are free. If you asked for a plan first, you pick the look before you see the plan.

Show me 3 more

Not seeing a look you like? Click Show me 3 more. We draw three new looks and add them after the ones you already have.

  • Each extra set of three costs 9 credits. The price is shown next to the button. Your credits are only used if at least one new look arrives.
  • The one-minute timer pauses while the new looks are drawn and starts again when they arrive.
  • You can ask for more up to three times per app, for 12 looks in total.

Good to know

  • The drawings are sketches of a style, not your finished app. Names, prices and dates in them are placeholders.
  • The card only appears when the Agent is about to build a brand-new app that you asked for. It doesn't appear for changes to an app you already have, or for tasks that run on a schedule.
  • If the Agent hands the build images from your Library, the build follows those images instead of the look.
  • If you clicked Don't show this next time on a Pick a look card, the Agent builds new apps without showing looks first. Turn it back on in Settings → Profile → Pick a look.
