Design Settings give you control over how thoroughly Kombai explores and refines designs during generation.

​
Variants

Variants determine how many independent design options Kombai generates in a single prompt. Instead of producing one result, Kombai creates multiple versions. Each version takes a different visual direction, so you can compare and pick the one that fits best. You can set the number of Variants to 1, 2, or 3.

​
Passes

Passes determine how many times Kombai iterates on and refines each generated design. On each Pass, Kombai reviews and improves the previous result — tightening spacing, improving visual hierarchy, and making the design more polished. You can set Passes to Auto, 1, 2, or 3. When multiple Passes are selected, only the final result is shown. Auto lets the model dynamically determine the optimal number of passes. If a model only supports Auto, the dropdown defaults to Auto and stays disabled to prevent manual overrides.

Configure Design Settings

Both settings are accessible from the chat box.
  1. In the chat box, click the button to open the Design Settings popover.
  2. Open the Variations dropdown and select 1, 2, or 3.
  3. Open the Passes dropdown and select Auto, 1, 2, or 3.
Some models only generate one variation at a time. For these, the Variations dropdown is set to 1 and disabled. To request multiple variations, ask for them directly in your prompt(for example, “Provide 3 design variations”).
