Agent mode — builds with you

Agent mode gives the assistant hands. Ask for a circuit and it will add the components, wire them up, write the code, compile and run — right on your canvas, while you watch:

Try prompts like:

• “Build a traffic light with 3 LEDs.”
• “Add an OLED display to this board and show a counter on it.”
• “My button reads are bouncing — fix the sketch.”
• “Convert this project to MicroPython.”

You stay in control

Every action lands in your normal project: parts appear on the canvas, edits show in the code editor, and the undo history is yours. Inspect what it did, tweak it, or ask for the next step. If a run fails, the agent reads the compiler output and the serial monitor the same way you would, and iterates.

Working well with the agent

• Small steps beat essays — “add a DHT22 and print the temperature” gets better results than a paragraph of requirements.
• Let it finish — an agent turn can be several actions (place, wire, code, compile, run); the panel narrates as it goes.
• Attach an image of a circuit you want reproduced — it can work from a photo or schematic.

Agent turns cost more cycles than chat replies; the quota counter at the bottom of the panel tracks what’s left today. See plans.
