Chat
How the OpenV2 chat builds your app: what you can send, how the agent works, recipes, attachments, questions and follow-ups.
The chat is the main way you create and refine an app. You write (or say) what you want, and the agent builds it in native Swift or Kotlin.
What happens when you send a message
- The agent reads your project and your message.
- It works in steps, and the chat shows each one: what it says, the files it writes or edits, the images it generates and the build check.
- The app rebuilds. If the simulator is on, it relaunches with the change.
- The agent finishes with a short summary of what your app can do now and a few follow-up ideas as chips you can tap.
You can press Stop at any time. Messages you send while the agent is busy wait in a queue and run in order.
Who answers
Depending on the mode, Leo (Solo) or the team (Team) works on your message. See Solo and Team. To make the agent think harder on a message, raise Power.
What to put in a message
- Screens and what each one shows
- What the user does: tap, swipe, submit
- Data: kept on the device, sample data or V2 Cloud
- Style: colors, mood, apps you like
See Your first app for examples.

Questions from the agent
When something would change what gets built, the agent asks one to three short multiple-choice questions in a card above the chat box. Answer them, or skip and let the agent decide.
Images and the app icon
The agent generates images for your app and its app icon while it builds. Ask for a different look in plain words ("a minimal orange flame icon"). You can also make images, 3D models, video and audio in the Asset Studio: open More and choose Asset Studio.
Skills
OpenV2 gives the agent specialist skills for layout, animation, data, maps, widgets, publishing and more. They load automatically when they fit your request.
Collaboration
Invite others as editors or viewers and discuss in comments. See Collaboration.
Usage
Messages that build use your plan's usage; plain conversation does not. See Plans and usage.
