## Tips

- **Just talk normally** — you don't need commands for most things. Just ask questions or give instructions in plain English.
- **The agent has tools** — it can browse the web, run code, manage files, send emails, and more. Just ask it to do things.
- **If something goes wrong** — type `/new` to start fresh, or `/model` to switch to a different AI model.
- **Your conversations are saved** — the agent learns from your interactions over time. Use `/new` to start a topic change.
