Change your app
Build, Chat and Plan
The box at the foot of the conversation: Build makes a change, Chat talks about the app and never touches it, Plan asks first. And the / actions: redesign, accessibility, SEO and security reviews, polish and Power up.
Everything you change by asking, you ask in the box at the foot of the conversation. The button at its right opens a menu with three ways to send. It is named after the agent mode the app is in, like Power Seth.
| Mode | What it does |
|---|---|
| Build | Makes the change in the app. This is what happens unless you choose otherwise. |
| Chat | Talks about the app and never touches your code. Its price a reply is written beside it. |
| Plan | Asks you a few questions first, then changes the app. For bigger changes. |
Under them, Agent mode chooses how much gets built: Seth, Power Seth or Max Seth. See Build modes. Alt+P moves to the next of Build, Chat and Plan without opening the menu.
Build
Write what you want changed, the way you would tell a person, and send. "Make the header dark" is a whole request. Setherion changes only what you asked for, opens the app out of sight to check it still runs, and gives the change a version card of its own, with Publish this version.
For how to say it so it comes out right, see How to ask.
Chat
Chat is for thinking out loud. "What would you add to this page?", "why does the form sit at the bottom?", "is this good for a phone?": it reads the app and answers, and nothing in the app changes.
When you like an answer, switch back to Build and ask for it.
Plan
Plan is Build with questions first. Before it changes anything, it asks what it needs to know. Answer, and then it makes the change. Use it when you know the goal but not every detail: a new section of the app, a booking flow, accounts.
Chat on the dashboard
The box on the dashboard, where a new app starts, has the same three ways to send: Build, Chat and Plan. Choose Chat to think an idea through before anything is built: what the app is for, who uses it, what Setherion can add. Nothing is built while you talk, and each reply costs a few credits, written beside Chat in the menu.
Once the idea is clear, a card under the reply shows What gets built: the request as it will be sent. Build this sends it, and the new app starts the way any other does, with a short proposal and a look to choose before it is built. The conversation belongs to no app: it stays while the tab is open, and the × over it closes it.
The row under the box
Along the foot of the box, from the left:
| What it does | |
|---|---|
| + | Everything that goes into the request: a file, a design, a service, a skill. Opened out below. |
| The model button | Says Auto until you choose a model. Open it for the list; AI Controls is at the foot of it. |
| The microphone | Say it instead of typing. See below. |
| The Build button | Build, Chat or Plan, and Agent mode. It shows the name of the one you are in. |
| Send | Appears once there is something to send. While a run is going it becomes a square: press it to Stop the run. |
The microphone
Press it and talk: your words appear in the box as you say them, in the language of your browser, after anything you had already typed. Press it again to stop. Then read it over and send; nothing is sent by itself.
Chrome, Edge and Safari recognise speech themselves. A browser that cannot, such as Firefox, records what you say and has it turned into text, and the box shows a spinner while it does. If the browser is not allowed to use the microphone, a message asks you to allow it for this site. Voice input does not use credits.
Under each message
Every reply in the conversation has a row of small icons under it.
| What it does | |
|---|---|
| Undo this change | Puts the app back the way it was before this change, and keeps the undo in History as a version of its own. |
| Copy | Copies the message. |
| Copy message link | A link that takes you to this message in the conversation. |
| Edit | Puts your message back in the box, to change and send again. |
| Regenerate | Runs the request again, for a different try. Only on the latest reply. |
| More options | How long the work took, and how many credits it used. |
When a change has finished, its version card sits under the reply: the time, Live or Not published, and the buttons Preview, View files and, on the newest change only, Publish this version. The flag on the card marks it as a milestone. See History.
Connect a service from the editor
The cube at the top left opens the Setherion menu: Dashboard, Connectors, your credits, My profile, Account settings and Sign out. Pointing at Connectors lists every service with ON beside the ones you have connected, and clicking one opens it.
Open it
Click Connectors, or one service in the list. Integrations opens over the editor, so the app you are working on stays where it is.
Connect
Follow the steps for that service. See Connectors.
Use it in the app
Once a service is connected, a card appears: "Stripe is connected. Next: use it in this app". The button Use in this app puts the service on the app's list and writes a request in the box for you, then closes Integrations. Nothing is built until you press Send. (Services that only help the builder, such as design and code ones, do not offer this step.)
Back, at the top left of Integrations, goes one step at a time: from a service's page to the list, and from the list to the editor. The browser's Back button does the same.
The / actions
Type / in the box to see actions: things Setherion does to the whole app, or to the screen you are looking at, one per message. The list is on the left, and what the highlighted action does, step by step and at what price, is on the right. Arrows choose, Enter picks, Esc closes.
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Redesign | A new look on every screen, and nothing else changed. |
| Accessibility | Usable with a keyboard and a screen reader: contrast, labels, focus. |
| SEO review | Checks how search engines see the app, then fixes what it found. |
| Security review | Checks the code for security issues, then fixes them. |
| Polish this screen | Motion, the empty and error states, and the wording, on the screen you are looking at. |
| Power up | Fills an app built with Seth in to what Power Seth builds. Pro and up. |
Each one is an ordinary change: it is charged, gets a version card, and can be undone like any other. SEO review and Security review run the same checks as SEO & AI search and Security first, then fix what they found. If the check finds nothing, nothing is changed, and a check that already read this exact code is used again at no charge.
Created by you
Under the built-in actions, Created by you holds instructions you wrote yourself, to use on any of your apps: "add our cookie banner", "translate everything into German and French". Write instructions you can use on any app adds one. Only you see your own. See Your own skills.
An action runs only when you pick it from the menu. Writing "redesign it" in a message is an ordinary request, not the action.
