Describe what you want

1. Name the result and the people it is for: "A booking page for my dog grooming salon in Leeds, for regular customers who book from their phone."
2. Say where the change goes and what must not change: "Only change the home page. Keep the header and the colors."
3. Give the real content: the business name, the services, the prices and the contact details. The agent uses them instead of placeholder text.
4. Show what you mean. Attach a screenshot, a sketch or a document: see Attach files and pictures. In a static site you can also choose Visual edits in the message box's toolbar and click an element in the preview: the element appears above the message box and goes with your next message.
5. Send the message with the arrow button (Send message). To speak instead of typing, choose the microphone (Tap to record, or Alt+V; ⌥V on a Mac), talk, and choose the check mark. Playcode turns your speech into text. With Auto-send voice messages on (Settings > AI defaults), it sends the message at once; with it off, the text waits in the box so you can check it first. Voice input uses credits from the workspace that pays for the project, as the agent's work does.
6. Answer the agent's questions. When it shows questions with options, choose an option or type in Or type your own answer..., then choose Next →, and Submit ✓ at the end. Skip leaves a question unanswered.
7. For a new website whose content and look are still open, check each stop before the pages are built. The agent stops three times: after your answers, after the wireframe of every page, and after the design of the key page. A change there costs less than after the pages are built. Reply "ok" or "next" to go on.
8. Check the result in the preview, then reply with one change at a time: "Make the prices bigger" works better than a list of ten fixes.
9. When a run goes the wrong way, choose the stop button (Stop generation) and say what you want instead. To take changes back, see Undo and checkpoints.

The request left the scope open, so the agent decided it. Undo the change (see Undo and checkpoints), then send the request again with the part named and what must stay.

After two or three attempts at the same problem, stop asking for the same fix. Go back to the last good state with Undo and checkpoints, then describe what you see: the exact error text, a screenshot, or the steps that lead to it. You can also ask the agent to explain the cause before it changes anything.

In a static site, the preview runs only in your browser, so the agent does not see it. Tell it what you see: "I see a white screen. Nothing renders." See The preview does not load.

• "You're out of credits. Add more to keep building.": the workspace that pays for this project has no credits left. Add credits, or wait for the plan's next credits.
• "You've denied permission to use the microphone. To record, please allow access in your browser's settings for this site.": allow the microphone for Playcode in the browser, then try again.
• The text comes out in the wrong language: in Settings, AI defaults, set Voice input to your language instead of auto-detect.

• The agent works from your message, your attachments and the project's files. A new chat does not include earlier conversations. See What the agent remembers.
• A voice message is sent as soon as it is transcribed. To edit the text first, type it.
• One message takes up to 10 attachments. Text you paste that is longer than 16,000 characters becomes a separate card that the agent reads when it needs it, up to 5 such cards per message.
• The agent can misread a request or make a mistake. Check the result in the preview before you publish.
• Every message uses credits. See Spend fewer credits.
