General Concepts
General Concepts
Core AI and platform concepts that form the foundation of how Imagine.bo works.
- AIArtificial Intelligence
- The simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems.
- Prompt
- A natural language instruction given to an AI model to generate code, text, or other outputs.
Imagine.bo-Specific Terms
Imagine.bo-Specific Terms
Platform-specific features and capabilities unique to Imagine.bo.
- Describe-to-BuildNatural Language Prompting
- Imagine.bo's core feature allowing users to build applications by describing them in plain English.
- AI-Generated Blueprint
- The initial structural plan and architecture generated by Imagine.bo based on user prompts.
- Visual Customization
- The ability to modify the look and feel of the generated application through intuitive controls or follow-up prompts.
- Assign to DeveloperHire a Human
- A feature that allows users to seamlessly hand off complex tasks or custom integrations to expert human engineers.
- Sparks
- Imagine.bo's outcome-based unit. Every Spark you spend delivers a real result — a page built, a feature shipped, or a workflow deployed. Unlike credit-based systems, you are never charged for failed builds or AI attempts that do not produce what you asked for.
- Spark Rollover
- A feature on Lite and Pro plans where unused Sparks carry forward to the next billing cycle automatically. Sparks do not expire as long as your subscription remains active.
- Top Up Sparks
- A one-time purchase of additional Sparks directly from your workspace dashboard. Allows you to expand your build beyond your current plan's monthly allowance without upgrading your subscription tier. Top-up Sparks do not expire while your subscription is active.
- Build Guarantee
- Imagine.bo's core delivery promise. If a build fails or the result is not right and you request a fix, you keep your Spark. The cost of the AI tokens and engineering hours behind the fix sit on Imagine.bo's side by design — not as a promotion.
- SDE SupportSoftware Development Engineer
- Access to professional software engineers for technical assistance and complex feature development.
