Genie Code Chat/Agent mode selector removed

UpdateJun 29, 2026VerifiedAdded Sep 22, 2026

The Chat/Agent mode selector has been removed from the Genie Code pane. Genie Code now runs exclusively in Agent mode. If you prefer a conversational response without autonomous task execution (what was previously called Chat mode), include that instruction in your prompt. For example: "Just explain this to me, don't run any code." See Agent mode .
