Simple vs Advanced

The Forgent builder has two modes. Simple mode guides you through conversation and keeps the right-hand panel read-only — it fits 80% of use cases. Advanced mode unlocks direct editing and 5 additional tools so you can iterate faster.

What each mode contains

Simple mode (default)

• Guided conversation on the left with the Builder
• Read-only right-hand panel, fed by the conversation
• Empty state with an illustration and a welcome message
• On /deploy/[id]: a friendly activity timeline

Advanced mode

• Direct editing of every blueprint field (name, description, model, tone, system prompt)
• Variables {{name}} in the system prompt, substituted at deployment
• Dry-run to test your prompt without deploying
• A/B testing of two variants side by side
• Detailed logs of the raw events during execution
• Webhooks to trigger the agent from a cron job / an external API

When to use which

Stay in Simple if…

• You're just discovering Forgent (onboarding is built for this mode)
• You want a quick, working agent without fine-grained tuning
• You'd rather talk to an assistant than fill out a form

Switch to Advanced if…

• You want to edit a specific field without going back through the conversation
• Your agent needs to be configurable at runtime (variables {{client}}, {{date}}, etc.)
• You want to test / compare several prompts quickly
• You want to integrate it with a script or an external cron job
• You're chaining several agents into a workflow

Pro / paywall (coming soon)

Today both modes are free. When Stripe arrives, access to Advanced mode will likely be reserved for a Pro tier — users already in Simple won't see any change.
