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, use a text annotation to explain key steps (Alt+I on Windows, Cmd+Shift+I on macOS) → 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, Agivar asks you questions first instead of inventing steps.
