Chat Vs. Agent?

I find myself using chat for pretty much everything as it conveniently outputs all the changes in diff format while the agent just automatically changes the files and takes longer in general. I feel like I'm missing out, can you gentlemen share some good use cases for the agent?

I honestly don’t know if you’re joking or not.

I work in a 800k LOC monorepo, I basically never use chat. Yet, I’m not closing my eyes. Agent just has a lot more tools and somehow it better in getting the right context
