## Agent

### Work in Free Mode

Use Free Mode to chat, explore ideas, create, and build without using Power Mode or Max Mode credits. Free Mode uses Auto to select a model, and its limits depend on your plan. Check **Settings** > **Usage** to see your remaining allowance and reset timing.

<Frame caption="Choose Free from the Agent modes panel.">

</Frame>

Learn how to [get the most out of Free Mode](/chat/free-mode).

### Start with Conversations

Start with a private Conversation to ask questions, explore information, attach context, run a Routine, or describe an outcome. When the work becomes substantial, ask Replit to turn the Conversation into a Project. Your context and files carry forward.

<Frame caption="Start a Conversation from your Workspace home.">

</Frame>

### Automate recurring work with Routines

Schedule Replit to repeat work inside a Conversation. Each result returns to the same Conversation, where you can review it and continue working. Routines run in Power Mode or Max Mode and require a budget for each run.

<Frame caption="Review active Routines, schedules, and run history in one place.">

</Frame>

### Steer Agent while working

Send a follow-up while Agent works to add new context to the active turn. Steer is the default in Conversations and Projects, and you can change either preference to Queue in **Settings** > **Personalization**. Press `Cmd+Enter` on Mac or `Ctrl+Enter` on Windows and Linux to use the opposite behavior for one message.

<Frame caption="Choose Steer or Queue separately for Conversations and Projects.">

### Import Skills from GitHub

Import Skills from a public GitHub repository, folder, or file URL, then preview the Skill files before you add them. Saved Project Skills also support member access levels of **Required**, **Available**, or **No access**.

<Frame caption="Open Workspace Skills to find and use shared or imported Skills.">

## Teams and Enterprise

### Control Agent models across Workspaces

Enterprise account admins can set an account policy for each model provider, then choose which models are available in individual Workspaces. Use **Enable all**, **Enable selected**, or **Disabled** to match your organization's policy.

<Frame caption="Set provider policies and manage model access from Advanced settings.">

## Platform

### Run black-box pen tests

Run a Level 3 security scan to combine three checks. It runs free dependency and package checks, Agent static analysis of your source code, and an external black-box test of the live Preview. Replit runs the source-code review and the outside test in parallel.

<Frame caption="Level 3 adds Agent static analysis and an external live Preview test to dependency and package checks.">
