AI editor UX: chat vs properties

Chat feels magical early, but property panels keep teams precise once complexity grows.

Observation

Chat is excellent for exploration and intent discovery.

Property panels are better for repeatable control, auditability, and handoff.

Practical Direction

Use chat for generation, and structured properties for refinement and final decisions.

Product Implication

The strongest AI editors blend both: conversational entry point plus deterministic controls.
