Agent Mode

Agent mode in Syncfusion code studio is an AI coding assistant that works independently to explore your code, plan updates, and complete complex tasks. It’s designed to save you time by reading files, editing code, running commands, and using available tools — all with minimal input from you.

You can switch to Agent mode in the mode selector below the chat input box.
