Your app's AI features can now show the model's thinking above the answer as it works, so people see progress instead of waiting at a blank screen. Ask Lovable to show the model's thinking and it sets that up on the model your app already uses. What appears is a summary of how the model worked through the problem, not its raw internal steps, and it only appears when your app asks for it. Thinking counts toward the answer's output, so showing it costs more than the same answer without it.
