The builder is where the work happens. Chat with LimAI, watch code stream in, see the live preview update on the right β€” all in one screen.

Layout

  • Left: chat panel. Send prompts, see LimAI's plan, switch modes.
  • Center: Monaco code editor. File tree at the edge, tabs above.
  • Right: live preview. Browser-rendered React Native by default, scan-to-phone via QR.
  • Top bar: Save Β· Share Β· Publish Β· History Β· Settings.

Streaming

Every Builder response streams over Server-Sent Events. You'll see planning, file diffs, then a short summary. Stop the stream at any time with the red button β€” partial work is kept.

History

Every generation creates a checkpoint. Use History in the top bar to roll back to an earlier state. Useful when an experiment goes sideways.
