Overview

Plan mode helps you scope what you want to build before any changes are made. Like a Product Manager, Zite asks questions when needed, and then generates an editable plan. Plan mode uses Zite Max (the most capable model) to create a plan document summarizing what will be built, including scope, data, integrations, key assumptions, and what’s out of scope. When to use Plan mode
  • You’re starting a new app and want to think through requirements
  • Your request is large or ambiguous, and you want a clear scope
  • You need to align with teammates before building
  • You want to avoid rework by deciding key details up front
