Differences Between Planning, Build, and Human

Discover when to use the Conversation Modes that Agent UI offers you.

Last updated on 03 Apr, 2026

Welcome to this tutorial on how to use the Conversation Modes inside AgentUI.

AgentUI is designed to help you move from idea to implementation faster by giving you three powerful ways to interact with your app: Planning, Build, and Human. Each mode is built for a specific stage of your workflow — whether you're exploring a new feature, implementing functionality, or requesting hands-on support.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to switch between modes, when to use each one, and how to go from a simple idea to a fully working feature inside your project. By the end, you’ll understand how to use AgentUI more strategically to build smarter and ship faster.

Planning
Use this when you have an idea but aren’t sure how to build it.
The AI helps you think it through and creates a clear step-by-step plan.

Build
Use this when you’re ready to add something to your app.
The AI takes your instructions and turns them into real features inside your project.

Human
Use this when you need direct help from our team.
Submit your request and we’ll review it and follow up with you.

Step 4: Create a Plan

Describe your needs to the AI, and it will create a complete plan for you to achieve your goal. For example, say "Create a plan for me to create a user management panel."

Step 5: Wait for Response

Wait a few minutes for the AI to respond with a detailed plan. If the AI asks questions, answer them.

Step 6: Use Build: Copy and Paste Plan

The best time to use Build is when you want to add new functionality to your app. Tell the AI exactly what you want to add to your project and review the proposed changes.

To do this, copy the AI’s message, open a new chat, select Build, and paste the plan.
