This happened when I decided to create a Living UI from the flow of a normal chat conversation with the agent, not from the dedicated Living UI section.
During that flow, the setup questions appeared in a browser popup as expected.
However, after I closed the popup because I wanted to add more context first, the popup did not come back on its own and the project was not created. At that point, there was no obvious way in the UI to reopen the setup flow manually.
Another confusing part was that the agent did not seem to understand that the popup had already been closed. It kept telling me to answer the setup questions first, even though the popup was no longer visible on my side.
I then asked the agent to show the popup again, and it was able to reopen it successfully. So the underlying setup flow still existed, but from the user side it looked like it had disappeared permanently.
Expected behavior
If a Living UI setup popup is closed before completion, there should be a clear way to reopen it.
This should also work when the Living UI creation flow was started from a normal chat, not only from the Living UI section.
Ideally, the pending setup state should remain visible in the UI until the questions are completed or explicitly canceled.
The agent should be aware that the popup was dismissed or closed, and should respond accordingly instead of continuing to instruct the user to answer a popup that is no longer visible.
Actual behavior
The setup popup appeared during a normal chat-driven Living UI creation flow.
After closing it, the popup disappeared.
The project was not created.
There was no obvious manual recovery path in the UI.
The agent continued telling me to answer the setup questions, even though the popup had already been closed and was no longer visible.
The popup could only be reopened by asking the agent again.
Why this matters
When creating a Living UI from a chat conversation, it is natural to close the popup temporarily in order to add more context or refine the request. In the current behavior, closing the popup makes the flow feel lost, even though it can still be recovered internally.
It is also confusing when the agent appears unaware of the popup state and keeps asking the user to continue a flow that is no longer accessible from the UI.
Suggested improvement
Add a visible Resume setup or Reopen questions action for pending Living UI creations, especially for flows that were initiated from chat.
Also expose the popup state to the agent so it can recognize when the setup dialog has been closed or dismissed, and guide the user appropriately.
Steps to reproduce
- Start a normal chat with the agent.
- Ask the agent to create a new Living UI app from that chat flow.
- Wait for the setup questions popup to appear in the browser.
- Close the popup before answering the questions.
- Return to the chat and continue interacting with the agent.
- Observe that the popup does not automatically reappear and there is no obvious UI action to reopen it.
- Observe that the agent may still tell the user to answer the setup questions first, even though the popup is no longer visible.
