What shipped? Agent Runners on Netlify now pause to ask clarifying questions before they start building.
What changed? Instead of guessing when a prompt is vague, the agent surfaces targeted questions — "What should this dashboard track? Should entries be editable?" — and waits for answers. Questions are optional: you can answer a few, all, or none and let the agent decide. Answers feed directly into the first build pass, and the run continues normally with code, platform features, and a Deploy Preview. Works with every agent and model available in Agent Runners.
Why does a builder care? The single biggest failure mode for coding agents is that they hallucinate intent from underspecified prompts. This turns a one-shot guess into a short conversation — which means fewer course corrections, less credit burn, and a first build that's actually closer to what you wanted. In Netlify's testing, "even a few quick answers make the first build noticeably sharper."
