Who's in control
Kiki's agent is always running, but you decide how much it's allowed to do on its own. One control — the HUD, reachable by a keyboard shortcut, a button, or your voice — switches between four modes at any moment.
The four modes
| Mode | What it means |
|---|---|
| You | You drive. Kiki watches but doesn't touch anything. |
| Assisted | Kiki acts, but asks before anything that changes your stuff. A good place to start. |
| Agent | Kiki drives; you watch it work in real time. Where a device starts by default. |
| Hands-off | Full autonomy — no confirmations. Opt-in, and everything is logged. |
Pick what fits the moment
- New to Kiki, or doing something sensitive? Switch to Assisted — you'll approve each change before it happens.
- Watching a routine task you trust? Use Agent and let it run while you keep an eye on it.
- Need to do something by hand? Switch to You, do it, and hand control back.
- Running an unattended automation? Hands-off — turned on deliberately, with a full audit log.
About Hands-off mode
Hands-off removes the "are you sure?" prompts entirely — Kiki can change files, send messages, and adjust settings without asking. Because of that:
- You can't end up in it by accident — it takes a deliberate, one-time confirmation to turn on.
- The control to switch back out is always available.
- Everything it does is written to an audit log, and Kiki automatically saves a restore point before anything destructive, so you can roll back.
Voice counts too
In Agent mode you can just say "let me drive" or "take over" to change modes — no keyboard needed. See Talking to Kiki.
