### 3.1 Code Mode

By default, papertlab operates in "Code" mode, where it can suggest and make changes to your code.

### 3.2 Ask Mode

To switch to "Ask" mode:

1. Click the dropdown next to the input field.
2. Select "Ask".

In this mode, papertlab will answer questions about your code without making changes.

### 3.3 Autopilot Mode (Beta)

For autonomous code changes:

1. Select "Autopilot" from the mode dropdown.

Autopilot will attempt to make multiple changes to achieve the desired result.
