A new way to chat that saves your credits (and your sanity)
We’ve launched a new mode inside Create: Discussion Mode. It’s built for when you want to ask the agent a question, plan something out, or just think through an idea without triggering code changes or burning credits on tools you didn’t mean to use.
Whether you’re figuring out your app’s structure or debugging a logic issue, Discussion Mode gives you a safe, credit-efficient space to talk to the agent with zero side effects.
Ask anything, spend nothing extra
Until now, every time you prompted the agent, there was a chance it would trigger backend tools to update your code, even if all you wanted was a simple answer. That meant wasted edits, cluttered project history, and unnecessary credit usage.
With Discussion Mode, those tool calls are completely turned off. Even in edge cases where the agent tries to make changes, it can’t. It doesn’t have access to the editing tools. So you get plain-text responses only and you only spend credits on what’s needed.
This is made possible by a few core changes:
- Editing tools are fully disabled
- Only plain text responses are returned
- Prompts that used to trigger edits now stay light and cheap
- You control when (and if) the project changes
The result: better conversations, fewer reverts, and a big drop in unnecessary credit usage.
Plan smarter, build cleaner
Discussion Mode is perfect when you’re still figuring things out. Want to talk through app logic? Ask why something broke? Now you can do that safely, without triggering edits or spending credits just to explore an idea.
You’ll notice:
- More control over when tools get used
- No surprise changes to your project
- Cleaner files and version history
- Lower credit usage for planning, thinking, and debugging prompts
It’s the same agent. Just more thoughtful, more efficient, and completely under your control.
Built from real feedback
We built this after hearing from users in Season 1 who were constantly appending “don’t make changes” to their prompts to avoid unwanted edits. Others found themselves cleaning up tool-triggered messes after what should have been simple questions.
Discussion Mode solves that. It creates space to talk (not execute) keeping your project stable, your history clean, and your credits intact.
For every kind of builder
Whether you're technical or not, Discussion Mode helps you move faster without waste:
- Non-technical users can ask freely without fearing breakage
- Developers can review logic and architecture without triggering unnecessary calls
And in all cases, you’ll only spend credits when it makes sense.
This is just the beginning
We didn’t just add a toggle, we gave you more precision in how you interact with Create.
Discussion Mode is a step toward a better balance between speed and control. It lets you use AI on your terms, without wasting time, rewriting code, or burning credits for no reason.
We’re excited to see what you do with it.
