@Nanobot: Agent mode

To eliminate the need to navigate the dozens of commands available in @NanoBot, it now features agent mode: you can now give the bot a task in plain text, and it will attempt to complete it.

In your private conversation with the bot, this works with any messages that don't contain a command: say, you write,

What's the weather like in San Francisco today?

— the bot will search the internet for information and respond.

In group chats, you can make a similar request by starting the message with a mention of the bot:

@Nanobot, draw a card with today's weather forecast for Tokyo.

And thanks to guest mode, you can do this even in chats where NanoBot isn't added.

What exactly can the bot do in agent mode?

Currently, the bot can do the following:

• search for information on the internet
• generate images using GPT Image 2 or NanoBanana
• execute arbitrary code in a sandbox
• view chat history (if you previously allowed the bot to save history)
• set reminders, deferred, and recurring tasks

This list will likely be expanded in the future. The easiest way to find out the current list of features is to ask the bot itself :)

Free Tier

Like the direct access to neural networks, agent mode uses third-party paid services—so I would be grateful if you subscribed to offset my costs.

If you don't have a subscription, you can still use agent mode, but with significant limitations:

• You must not exceed a certain token quota. This quota is based on requests from the last six hours—if you've used up your quota, wait a bit, and it will reset. You can check the status with the !usage command. There's a general daily limit (for all free users) on free agent mode. This means that if other users are too active, free access will be suspended for everyone.
• The free mode uses the Claude Haiku model for query processing (or Sonnet if you have a subscription). It's fast, but may produce slightly slower responses.
• Only the GPT Image 2 model is available for image generation at low quality (if you have a subscription, medium quality is used).
• In free mode, the bot can't set reminders, postponed and recurring tasks.

Despite these limitations, the free tier should be sufficient for relatively simple use cases. However, if you've tried the bot and encountered any of these limitations, I recommend considering a paid subscription.
