Today, we're introducing app planning sessions. Until now, prompting Bubble AI led to a mostly static page listing the features it planned to build — you could review your app plan, but not edit much until your app was generated. That changes with this update: now you can chat back and forth with Bubble to shape your app plan before anything is generated. In a typical session, you'll be asked specific questions about your app, like how a feature should behave or what a user role can and can't do. You can pick a suggested answer or write your own, edit any feature or user story directly, and upload images to show the look you want. The plan updates with each answer, so what gets built matches what you had in mind.

Bubble's values are central to our mission, and we created the Bubble Values Award to recognize and celebrate Bubble employees who bring one (or more!) of our values to life: User-centricity, Fire, Empowerment, Genuineness, or Kindness. In August, we celebrated Khemet Robinson for Empowerment 💪 Khemet didn't just level himself up, he brought the whole team with him! By leading the effort to get the Success team working directly in the codebase, he's fundamentally changed how the team operates. He has been testing things himself for months: flagging possible regressions, locating bugs, and helping triage tickets get answered faster than ever before. Khemet also systematically documented all of his work so everyone else could easily replicate his results. By sharing his expertise, he has enabled the entire Success team to be more capable and confident with technical concepts. That's Empowerment in action. Congratulations, Khemet! 🚀

Our users build with AI every day, so we hold ourselves to working the same way. Across the team, AI shapes how we scope projects, review our own thinking, and move from idea to shipped — which means faster cycles and higher standards in the product you build on. Here are five habits from inside Bubble worth borrowing.

The winners of the Bubble Free-For-All Challenge will be announced LIVE at Bubble's Demo Day + AMA session tomorrow at 1PM ET 🏆 Tune in to see who will take home the $10K prize pool.

Before any of us wrote a line of code or shipped a feature, we were kids at a kitchen table turning colorful dough into whatever our imaginations asked for. That same pull toward creating is why Bubble exists, and why people keep choosing to shape things themselves when so much can now be generated for them. An evening of making ephemeral things with our hands confirmed the magic in making never really left, no matter how digital our tools have become.

The AI Agent now uses Auto approval by default, so it only stops when it needs your input. Change your approval settings if you'd like more speed or more control: Use Always ask to review each step, Always approve for fewer interruptions, or Auto to balance both.

Plenty of AI tools build fast. The difference is what you're left holding when something needs to change. Swipe to see how the Bubble AI Agent assembles your native mobile app piece by visible piece, hooking up outside services and clearing flagged issues, all in an editor where you can follow along and take over at will. The blog in the comments covers the rest.
