Change an AI App by Chat: Editing Your Build | LLMinONE
How do I edit an AI-generated app afterwards?
Right inside the chat window: once your app is built, the chat stays open, and every new message refers to the current state of your build. Just write what should change — for example "change the design to dark mode" or "add an export button". The AI applies surgical edits: it patches exactly the affected places instead of reinventing the app, and every step stays reversible.
One limitation exists: direct edits are a member feature. As a guest your 10 free builds per day stay yours, and when you ask for an edit, the AI shows you the way to a free account — right after that it applies your change immediately.
What the status line tells you
During a build you see the four stages Sending, Thinking, Writing the app and Saving as a step list: finished steps carry a check mark, the active one a dot, and pending ones stay grey. The status line also shows how much code has been written so far — in bytes, growing live. That way you always know where the engine stands, even with larger apps.
Why repeat wishes answer instantly
Send the same wish a second time and the hot cache answers: the finished result is buffered and comes back almost instantly instead of being generated again. Identical requests cost almost no waiting time — handy for experimenting when you want to open the same app variant twice.
When the engine is busy
LLMinONE builds one app per user at a time. If a second request arrives while a build is running, the app waits silently for up to 30 seconds and retries on its own — you never see an error. If the engine stays busy, your message returns to the input box, and a single press of Enter tries again.
Every start wish gets its own session
The composer on the start screen always begins fresh: every wish sent there starts its own chat window, project and session — no history, no context and no files from the previous build. That way two projects never mix. Inside an open window, New app starts another build within the same chat; the history stays visible.
