Get your bearings
After creating your factory, Rumata opens its workspace inside the selected project.
Find your product name at the top and your conversation on the left. On the right, switch between Preview Mode and System Explorer.
Wait for startup to finish, then open Preview Mode on the right with the chat still visible.

Answer questions and review your plan
Before building your application, Rumata helps you turn your idea into a clear development plan.
1. Answer the AI agent’s questions
Rumata may ask a few questions to better understand what you want to build, such as your application's features, users, or design preferences.
- Read the questions in the chat.
- Select an answer from the available options or type your own response.
- Click Send Answer to continue.
- Repeat if Rumata asks additional questions.
Once Rumata has enough information, it will prepare a development plan for your application.
2. Review your plan
Before development begins, take a moment to review what Rumata proposes to build.
Check that the plan includes your application's main features, intended users, and any important requirements you mentioned.
When you're ready, choose one of the following:
- Looks good, continue: Approve the plan and move forward with development.
- I'd like changes: Request adjustments before approving the plan.
You can ask Rumata to refine the plan until it matches what you have in mind.
Add a file to the conversation
Use Add to chat to give Rumata a file for context.
Find Add to chat beside the chat input in your workspace.
- Choose Add to chat, then select Upload from computer and choose your file.
- Check the attached filename and write what Rumata should use from it.
- Send the message. Cancel the file picker if you do not want to attach a file.

Choose your preferred AI model
With Rumata, you're not locked into a single AI provider. You have the flexibility to choose the AI model that best fits your needs and the way you want to build.
Different models have different strengths, whether you're generating code, solving complex problems, or making quick changes to your application.
How to choose your AI model
- Open your Rumata factory workspace.
- Find the AI model selector in the chat interface.
- Browse the available models and select the one you want to use.
- Continue building with your selected model.
You can switch between available models as your needs change, giving you more control over your development experience.
Rumata does not add a markup to AI token costs.
