By Steven Van · 2026-10-23

Ask Mode in Netlify Agent Runners lets you troubleshoot errors and ask questions about your project without making a code change or triggering a build.

Netlify highlighted Ask Mode in Netlify Agent Runners on October 23.

Official Netlify Ask Mode announcement demo.

Ask Mode is for when you need an answer before another code change. You can troubleshoot errors and ask questions about your project, and the agent replies without editing code or triggering a build.

Netlify pitches it as a way to stay inside the platform instead of copying context into a separate AI tool.
