Agent Conversations
Agent Mode organizes your AI interactions into conversations tied to terminal panes, allowing you to attach context blocks, follow up on previous queries, or start fresh threads for distinct tasks.
Conversations with Agent Mode
Conceptually, a conversation refers to a sequence of AI queries and blocks. Conversations are tied to panes and you can have multiple Agent Mode conversations running at the same time in different panes.
You will get more accurate results from AI queries if the conversation is relevant to the query you ask. When you start an AI query unrelated to the previous conversation, start a new conversation. When you start an AI query related to the previous conversation, ask a follow-up and stay in the same conversation.
How to ask a follow-up to stay in a conversation
By default, if you ask an AI query right after any interaction in Agent Mode, your query will be sent as a follow-up. The follow-up ↳ icon is a bent arrow, to indicate your query is continuing the conversation.
To enter follow-up mode manually, press CMD-Y
.

How to start a new conversation
If there is no follow-up ↳ icon next to your input, this indicates a new conversation. If you ask an AI query after running a shell command you will be placed in a new conversation. Agent Mode will also kick you out to a new conversation after 3 hours.
To start a new conversation manually, use CMD-Y
or BACKSPACE
.
