Auto Mode in Action

1. Quick Information Retrieval

Use Case: Fast answers to straightforward questions

Example: "What's the status of the PROJ-123 ticket?" → Auto Mode quickly pulls the current status from Jira

2. Smart Research

Use Case: Complex questions that require analysis across multiple sources

Format: Questions that need synthesis or comprehensive understanding

Example: "How is our Q4 product launch progressing?" → Auto Mode automatically gathers data from meetings, Slack, Jira, and documents to provide a complete picture

3. Adaptive Detail

Use Case: Getting the right level of detail for your context

Format: Questions where the complexity of the answer should match the complexity of the question

Format: Questions that benefit from organizational and personal context

Example: "What should I focus on today?" → Auto Mode considers your role, recent activities, and current priorities to provide relevant suggestions

5. Follow-up Intelligence

Use Case: Building on previous conversations and context

Format: Follow-up questions or requests for more detail

Example: After receiving a summary, asking "Can you dive deeper into the engineering blockers?" → Auto Mode automatically escalates to more detailed research
