Logged In vs. Logged Out Mode Differences
Use 'Logged Out' mode if you are just trying it out and don't want to grant the AI full control. 'Logged In' mode is required if you want the AI to assist all the way through to the 'Checkout' and purchase stage.
Agent Mode Processing Speed
Searching with Agent mode typically takes longer than manual searches because the AI is 'thinking' and verifying live data. You can treat it as a background task while you work on other things.
Real-Time Data Accuracy
Unlike standard chat, Agent mode doesn't just 'hallucinate' or make up answers because it accesses live web data to provide the most current pricing and schedules.
