Mode Overview

Mode	Context	Purpose	Tools Available
Chat	Workspace	Quick Q&A and search	Search, basic queries
Explore	Workspace	Deep analysis	Code execution, API calls, artifacts
Guide	Workflow	Learning assistance	Read-only workflow analysis
Studio	Workflow	Building workflows	Full editing capabilities
Agent	Deployed	Customer-facing	Configured per deployment

Mode Switching

Automatic Mode Selection

The copilot automatically selects the appropriate mode based on:

Current context: Workspace vs. workflow editor
User intent: Questions vs. building requests

Manual Mode Override

Users can explicitly request a mode change:

"Switch to explore mode"
"I want to build - use studio mode"
"Just help me understand this - guide mode"
