# Think Hard mode **Metaforms comes with your very own AI deep-thinker.** **Think Hard Mode** – a toggle designed for those moments when your survey logic gets truly complex, and you need AI that doesn't just rush through but carefully plans its next move. ## What is Think Hard Mode? When enabled, **Think Hard Mode** lets Metaforms’ AI slow down and reason through the most challenging parts of survey programming — giving you more structured, reliable, and production-ready outputs. You'll find the toggle inside the **Generate / Edit with AI** panel in your XML editor. ## When to Enable Think Hard Mode: Use it when working with: * **Complex multi-question validations**\ e.g. multiple interdependent rows requiring unique logic * **Advanced styling/scripting tasks**\ e.g. inserting JS/CSS for layout refinements or conditional hiding * **Nested loops or hidden logic layers**\ e.g. MaxDiff, Conjoint, or any repeated structure with conditional display * Any other complex scenarios where you think there needs to be deeper thinking. ## Think Hard Mode in Action A Before/After example of using Think Hard Mode for a MaxDiff Question to help you understand it's power. **Without Think Hard Mode** The AI focuses on getting you a quick structure — but may miss advanced validation or styling nuances.

**With Think Hard Mode** Notice the difference — deeper validations, cell-level JS customizations, and structured loop logic ready for live deployment.
