Chat Mode
Chat mode is the quickest path into GPT AI Flow. Open and start talking. No extra tools in the way.
It splits into two behaviors. The only difference: whether the AI remembers what you just said.
History Chat
The default. Every turn carries forward the full conversation. The AI knows what came before.
Use for: deep discussions, multi-step reasoning, writing tasks that need continuity.
Single Chat
Every message starts fresh. The AI has no memory of the previous exchange.
Use for: one-off queries, quick experiments, when you do not want context mixing into your prompt.
Default Tools
Chat mode ships with no extra tools enabled. It runs the lightest agents-team (planner + implementer + reviewer) with basic file ops and search only.
Need the AI to read PDFs, OCR images, or search the web? Turn those on in settings.
