Should AI builders ask questions before they start building?

Something I’ve been thinking about while working around AI app builders:

Maybe the best response to

“Build me a booking app”

isn’t immediately generating a booking app.

Maybe it should first ask:

Who is booking?
Who accepts the booking?
Do they pay?
Is there one staff member or ten?
What actually needs to exist in v1?

Those answers can completely change the product.

I’m involved with built.new, so this is obviously something I’m close to, but I think there’s a bigger question here for AI tools in general.

Should an AI builder simply follow instructions as fast as possible?

Or should it occasionally push back and help reduce the scope first?

Personally, I’d rather answer one annoying question upfront than end up with five screens I never needed.
