Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/4509

What would you like to see?

Currently, users must manually prepend @agent to every message in order to enable Agent Mode (which allows tool calling).

Proposal:
Introduce a toggle switch in the chat interface (e.g., near the input bar) that, when enabled, automatically prepends @agent to the prompt before the message is sent.

Expected Behavior:
• When the toggle is on, messages are automatically sent in Agent Mode (equivalent to manually typing @agent...).
• When the toggle is off, messages are sent as normal.
• The toggle’s state could persist across sessions or reset per chat, depending on UX preferences.

Example:

Instead of:

@agent summarize this document

The user could simply type:

summarize this document

—with Agent Mode toggle turned on.

What about adding a shortcut to allow enable agent mode at thread level ?
So the workspace could be chat mode except for one thread
