Architect Mode
Architect Mode
Use multi-phase AI generation with iterative refinement for complex, detailed pages.
Architect Mode is an advanced generation method that uses a multi-turn conversation with the AI to produce highly detailed, refined Elementor pages. Instead of generating everything from a single prompt, the AI works with you step-by-step.
How It Works
- Submit your initial prompt — Describe the page you want, just like in One-Shot mode
- AI asks clarifying questions — The AI reviews your request and asks about design preferences, content details, and structure
- You answer and refine — Respond to the AI's questions to guide the design
- AI generates the page — With a deep understanding of your needs, the AI produces a more accurate, detailed layout
This back-and-forth process uses Gemini's extended thinking capability to reason through complex page structures before building them.
When to Use Architect Mode
Architect Mode is best for:
- Complex pages — Pages with many sections, interactive elements, or specific layout requirements
- Precise designs — When you have a very specific vision and want the AI to match it closely
- Important pages — Homepage, sales pages, or any page where quality matters most
- Detailed content — Pages that need specific copy, exact section ordering, or particular widget arrangements
Using Architect Mode
- Select Architect from the mode selector at the bottom of the dashboard
- Write your prompt and click generate
- The AI will respond with questions or suggestions — click the options provided or type your own response
- Continue the conversation until you're satisfied with the direction
- The AI generates the final page based on the full conversation context
You can stop the generation at any time using the stop button if you want to redirect the AI.
Architect vs. One-Shot
| Feature | One-Shot | Architect |
|---|---|---|
| Speed | Fast (15–45 seconds) | Slower (multi-turn conversation) |
| Control | Single prompt | Interactive refinement |
| Complexity | Simple to moderate pages | Complex, detailed pages |
| AI Reasoning | Standard | Extended thinking |
| Best For | Quick drafts, simple pages | Important pages, precise designs |
Availability
Architect Mode requires a Pro or Max plan. It uses more credits per generation than One-Shot mode due to the extended AI processing involved.
