Agent Mode
Agent Mode streamlines tedious work by automating multi-step workflows, allowing time-consuming tasks to be handed off so employees can stay focused on what matters. Copilot Mode is not enabled automatically, and Agent Mode must be set up separately by turning it on and defining a list of approved sites where it can operate. It is limited to these sites, provides clear visual cues when active, and allows users to interrupt the process at any time, with a recommendation to start with a short list of approved sites.
