Chat Mode Deep Dive

Chat Mode provides an interactive experience with direct control over tools and agents

​
How Chat Mode Works

Interactive Dialogue

You communicate directly with Siya through natural conversation. Ask questions, give commands, or request assistance - just like chatting with a knowledgeable colleague.

Real-time Processing

Siya processes your request immediately, selecting the appropriate tools or agents needed. You see the thinking process and can guide decisions.

Dynamic Adaptation

Based on your feedback, Siya adjusts its approach. You can redirect, refine, or expand tasks as you learn more about the problem.

Continuous Learning

The conversation context builds over time, allowing Siya to understand your preferences and provide increasingly relevant assistance.

​
Task Mode Deep Dive

Task Mode enables autonomous execution through intelligent orchestration

​
How Task Mode Works

Task Definition

You provide a clear description of what needs to be accomplished. Siya analyzes the requirements and creates a comprehensive plan.

Autonomous Planning

The orchestrator breaks down the task into logical steps, identifies required capabilities, and determines the optimal execution sequence.

Module Orchestration

Specialized agent modules work in coordination. Each module handles its domain expertise while the orchestrator manages dependencies and flow.

Results Delivery

Upon completion, you receive comprehensive results, reports, and any generated artifacts - all without needing to guide the process.

Mode Selection Guide

Choosing the Right Mode

Select the mode that matches your task requirements and working style
  • Decision Matrix
  • Use Case Examples

​
Switching Between Modes

You can start in one mode and switch to another based on your needs. Siya preserves context when switching.
1

Starting in Chat Mode

Default mode when you begin a conversation. Simply type your request.
2

Switching to Task Mode

Use action-oriented language: “Create…”, “Build…”, “Implement…”, “Analyze…”
3

Returning to Chat Mode

Ask questions or request clarification to re-engage interactive mode.
4

Mode Indicators

Watch for visual cues in the interface showing current mode.

​
Advanced Mode Features

Combine modes for optimal results:
  1. Start in Chat Mode to explore and understand
  2. Switch to Task Mode for implementation
  3. Return to Chat Mode for review and refinement
This approach leverages the strengths of both modes for complex projects.
Chat Mode Optimizations:
  • Faster response times
  • Lower token usage
  • Interactive refinement
  • Context preservation
Task Mode Optimizations:
  • Parallel execution
  • Batch processing
  • Resource efficiency
  • Comprehensive logging
Configure mode behavior in settings:
{
  "modes": {
    "chat": {
      "memoryLimit": 50000,
      "responseStyle": "conversational",
      "toolTimeout": 30
    },
    "task": {
      "planningDepth": 3,
      "parallelism": 4,
      "autoReport": true
    }
  }
}
