Why use Auto-run?

With Auto-run enabled, MATE acts like your personal assistant that gets things done for you. It responds to your requests with a script and immediately executes it. After that, you can give your next prompt, and MATE will again generate and run the appropriate script. This flow makes MATE feel like an intern who actually carries out your tasks. You can turn Auto-run on or off at any time.

Control Auto-run in a chat

By default Auto-run is on.
You control it in a chat with this toggle at the bottom.
You can turn it off (and on) anytime.

Configure the default state for new chats

In Settings > Chats you can set if Auto-run is on or off for new chats.
This will be the default when you start a new chat.
