> I don't want "agentic" tools, I just want to back and forth with an LLM to get a better idea.
Ah! So you can get that experience with the agent panel (despite "agent" being in the name).
If you click the dropdown next to the model (it will say "Write" by default) and change it from "Write" to "Minimal" then it disables all the agentic tool use and becomes an ordinary back-and-forth chat with an LLM where you can add context manually if you like.
Also, you can press the three-dots menu in the upper-right and choose New Text Thread if you want something more customizable but still not agentic.
