Chat Modes

Qodo Gen Chat offers two chat modes to fit your workflow: Standard Mode and Agentic Mode.

What is Standard Mode?

Standard Mode provides a direct, manual experience where you control the AI’s focus and context.

It executes commands exactly as given, offering predictable and precise responses without automatic tool use. This mode is ideal when you want full control over what Qodo Gen accesses or prefer simple command-response interactions.

What is Agentic Mode?

Agentic Mode enables the usage of intelligent, autonomous AI agents that plan, decide, and use powerful tools (MCPs) to complete complex coding tasks on your behalf.

Agents can write tests, refactor code, fix bugs, and execute multi-step workflows, adapting dynamically to your project context.

How to Switch Modes

Switch modes using the agent dropdown menu in the bottom-left corner of Qodo Gen.

Choose the mode that best fits your task, whether it’s precise manual commands or smart autonomous assistance.
