Introducing Plan Mode: Think Before You Create with Lucid AI

Save time by working with Lucid AI's planning mode to clarify your requests and produce high-quality output. We are thrilled to introduce plan mode, a think-before-acting experience now available for Lucid AI.

Instead of rushing to generate your request, Lucid AI now pauses to ensure it truly understands your vision before a single shape is placed.

What is plan mode?

Plan mode turns Lucid AI into a collaborative partner. When you submit a request that is open-ended or involves large-scale changes, plan mode is available  to help clarify your intent and confirm a strategic action plan before making changes to your document. 

How it works:

• Confirms the path: It presents a clear action plan for you to review and refine.
• Executes with precision: Once you’re aligned, the AI generates high-quality output for any Lucid AI request, including generating diagrams and boards.

Built for Complexity

While other visual tools offer thinking AI modes for text, Lucid offers a dedicated planning phase specifically for visualizations. This makes it a powerhouse tool for solution architects and business analysts who need to produce high-level deliverables that require architectural precision, not just generic drafts.

Why You’ll Love It

• Higher quality on the first try: Collaborative refinement means the output better meets your specific needs, drastically reducing the time spent on manual edits.
• Smarter collaboration: Work with the AI to brainstorm and generate a plan before committing to an output.
• Efficiency at scale: Reduce the failure rate of complex prompts by providing the AI with the guidelines it needs to succeed.

How to Use It 

• To activate plan mode, click the + icon to open the Lucid AI menu in the chat interface and select ‘plan mode.’
• To turn off Plan mode, select the "x" on the plan mode icon, or deselect plan mode within the Lucid AI menu.
