Better questions for different projects

Not every software project needs the same discovery process.

Codelab now adapts its Interview based on what you're building and the perspective you need.

Use General mode for broad project discovery.

It's useful when you want Codelab to help structure an idea without requiring specialized domain knowledge.

Switch to Specialist mode when your project benefits from a particular professional perspective.

Specialist discovery can consider roles such as:

The resulting project still uses the same Blueprint structure.

Specialist mode simply helps discover more relevant context before the Blueprint is created.

Projects can also provide domain context such as:

This helps questions stay relevant to the project instead of following a generic questionnaire.

Have an existing website, reference site, or competitor?

Scan a URL and use the discovered information as additional project context.

This can reduce repetitive Interview questions and make it easier to work from an existing product.

Important choices can now remain part of the project's ongoing context.

Examples:

Future project work can reference these decisions instead of repeatedly rediscovering them.

Not every decision needs to be known immediately.

Codelab can distinguish between information that is:

Unknown decisions can remain unresolved instead of being silently invented.

Project discovery becomes less about completing a form and more about building a reliable understanding of the software you actually want to create.
