Standard Mode

Standard Mode is the manual flow of Qodo Gen Chat, allowing you to set certain behaviors and preferences yourself and call Commands.

Qodo Gen supports two modes: Standard mode and Agentic mode.

Standard mode offers a manual Qodo Gen experience, letting you choose exactly what the AI models focus on and what context they have.

Agentic Mode enables Qodo Gen to have context on your entire project and to use services and Agentic Tools behind the scenes. This enables Qodo Gen to understand your code better and help you perform various actions.

What is Standard Mode?

Standard Mode follows a traditional command-response structure, where Qodo Gen executes user instructions exactly as given.

This mode offers a more predictable and controlled experience, making it ideal for users who prefer direct command execution without additional processing or tool integration, or for users who want to manually control what Qodo Gen uses as Context.

While it does not dynamically select tools like Agentic Mode, it still provides accurate and efficient responses based on the given input.

Standard Mode Usage

1. On the bottom right of Qodo Gen, find the buttons that say Standard and Agent.

2. Choose Standard. The look of Qodo Gen will change to indicate you're now using Qodo Gen in Standard Mode.
