## Compare the modes

| **Mode** | **Use it when**                                                    | **Makes changes?**  |
| -------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ | ------------------- |
| **Ask**  | You want an explanation, review, comparison, or recommendation.    | No                  |
| **Auto** | The request is clear and you want AI FDE to start immediately.     | Yes                 |
| **Plan** | The work is important or complex and you want to approve it first. | Only after approval |

## Ask mode

Use **Ask** when you want a read-only review.

**Examples:**

```text theme={null}
Explain how this agent handles objections.
```

```text theme={null}
Compare version v2 with v3 and summarize the important differences.
```

```text theme={null}
Why did this call fail to connect?
```

<Info>
  Ask mode can inspect and explain information, but it does not update an agent or create a version.
</Info>

## Auto mode

Use **Auto** when the result is clear and you do not need to approve a plan.

**Example:**

```text theme={null}
Create a new version of the English support agent.
Change the opening to a shorter greeting and keep everything else the same.
```

AI FDE starts the work directly and saves a new version when the build succeeds.

<Warning>
  Auto mode does not show a final confirmation before normal agent changes. Use Plan mode when you want to review the proposed work first.
</Warning>

## Plan mode

**Plan** is the default mode when you open AI FDE from the dashboard.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Send the request">
    Explain what you want to create or change.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Answer questions">
    If **A few questions** appears, select the required answers and choose **Send answers**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the plan">
    AI FDE shows a **Proposed plan** describing the work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve or revise">
    Select **Approve & build** to continue, or **Suggest changes** to request a different plan.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for the result">
    AI FDE builds the changes and saves a new version after successful completion.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Custom answers

If the available answers do not match your requirement, select **Tell AI-FDE what to do differently** and enter your own response.

### Suggest changes to a plan

Select **Suggest changes**, describe what should be different, and select **Send changes**.

**Example:**

```text theme={null}
Keep the current call flow. Only change the opening message and objection handling.
```

<Tip>
  Use Plan mode for new agents, pathway changes, functions, translations, or anything that may affect live calls.
