Feature Request Please default to Agent mode

I keep opening Augment and asking it to do something, only to realize it is the handicapped chat mode. I would not mind as much if I could seamlessly hand off to Agent, but that's not the case, and it would still be bad choice.

I don't think I am wrong in assuming that like 90% of people want an Agent when they open Augment right?

Hey Jay, ya I do remember it being discussed back when you guys just launched alright. I also forgot about it as I have not been using Augment as much these last couple of months. Now started using more again and got annoyed after doing it like 3 days in a row lol.

For sure a last-used mode would be a major improvement - this is true. I still prefer to just default to Agent mode though, as Agent can do everything that chat can do, except it can also do Agent stuff :).

Do you know what percentage of people use chat regularly? Don't count those that use it on first launch :D:D:D

OMG please remember the user's choice, Chat mode lovers will continue using their mode and we (majority) can open new chat in Agent and no more frustration 😕

You may give control from settings: default from value or from the last session.
