Key Insights

Benefits of Kimi K2's 'Thinking Mode'

When 'thinking mode' is active, you can observe the AI's thought process as it breaks down complex problems. It displays steps such as identifying core components, drafting the layout, and planning interaction logic. This provides insight into the 'reasoning' behind the generated code and shows how the model produces code directly without wasting tokens on unnecessary conversational filler.

Capabilities & Limitations of Generated Code

The application generated from this single prompt supports drag-and-drop functionality, snap-to-align guides, direct text editing, and HTML exporting. However, more granular features—such as color pickers, specific element resizing, or complex button logic—may not be included and might require further prompting or manual code adjustments.

Prompt for Building a Drag-and-Drop UI Editor

Target: Kimi K2
Develop a web-based, drag-and-drop UI builder similar to Wix. The builder should be a single-page application. It must include a sidebar with draggable components: Panel, Button, Form Container, and Text Area. The main area should be a canvas where users can drop and reposition these components. Implement snap-to-align guides for easy positioning. Users should be able to edit text content within components directly (e.g., button labels, panel titles). Include a 'Delete Element' button, a 'Toggle Grid' button, and a 'Preview Mode' button. Finally, add an 'Export to HTML' function that downloads the final layout as a self-contained HTML file.
