Teach Mode overview

Teach Mode isn't about getting the AI to do work — it's about you being the teacher: handing it the operating workflow of some app/website, your business rules, terminology, or personal preferences. It acts like a careful student — understands, asks clarifying questions, organizes — and finally writes what's worth keeping into the memory base. Later, when Task Mode runs related tasks, that know-how is reused automatically.

Why Teach Mode

A general AI doesn't know:

  • when that "submission note" on step 3 of your company's expense system may be left blank;
  • where in a second-level menu the "list product" button is hidden in some internal back office;
  • that you like it to merge multiple tool calls into one actions array;
  • what a piece of industry jargon actually means.

These are things that stick after one telling, and pay off again and again — which is exactly the point of Teach Mode. The core problem it solves: turning operating knowledge that "only you know" into an unambiguous workflow a GUI agent can just follow.

Three ways to "teach"

WayBest forHow
Explain / chatrules, preferences, terminology, concepts, workflow outlinesjust type it → Teach by chat
Correct / supplementfixing something wrong or incomplete in an existing memorypoint it out in a Teach-mode conversation; it updates that entry
Screen-record a demomulti-step GUI workflowsrecord a screen demo, press Alt+I to explain key steps → Teach by recording

You can mix them: record a screen demo, then add a few notes in text — that works best.

Where what it learns goes

Into the memory base, filed as platform/topic, for example:

  • bilibili/coins — an operating workflow
  • general/expense-rules — a business rule
  • general/tool-call-preference — a personal preference

Cross-platform know-how with no clear owner goes under general. See The memory base.

How it responds to you

After you've taught it, it usually tells you briefly what it learned and whether it filed it:

I learned:

  1. When an expense invoice is no more than ¥500, the "submission note" may be left blank.
  2. … Saved to memory base general/expense-rules.

If what you said feels more like a one-off instruction with no reuse value, it'll say so plainly — "I won't write this to the memory base for now." That's by design; the memory base keeps only what's worth keeping long-term.

When information is incomplete or ambiguous, it asks you first — it won't make up steps.

How to enter Teach Mode

Start a new conversation, and in the menu next to the + in the input bar, toggle Teach (or click the Teach chip that appears). Note: once a conversation has any messages, the mode is locked — to switch, start a new conversation.
