The guided interview, explained

The interview runs in up to 3 rounds total, and each round is its own short batch of multiple-choice questions with a visible progress bar and text reading "Round X of 3 — Question Y of Z," so you always know where you are and roughly how much is left in the current round.

Crucially, each round after the first is generated based on what you actually answered in the round before it — not a fixed script. If your answers reveal something worth digging into, the next round's questions reflect that. While aiKit is preparing the next round, a status line reads "Reading your answers so far and finding the next real questions…"

• Each question comes with a set of pill-button multiple-choice options you can tap directly.
• If none of the offered choices fit, there's always a "✏️ Something else" pill that opens a free-text field (placeholder "Type your own answer," with the same voice-dictation button available everywhere else in the intake, and a "Use this →" button to submit it — Enter works too).
• You can stop the interview at any point — even mid-round — with the "I'm done — build it now →" button, which builds your draft immediately from everything answered so far across every completed round, never leaving you stuck or erroring out.

It's marked "Recommended" for a reason: because later rounds are grounded in your actual answers rather than being generic, the guided interview tends to produce a noticeably more specific and complete first draft than skipping straight to build. That said, it's genuinely optional — if you already know exactly what you want and would rather see a draft immediately, the direct path is always available too.
