# Discuss Mode

> A dedicated toggle for conversational interactions with your codebase

## Overview

Discuss Mode is a chat mode that guarantees no changes to your files while interacting with Mocha.

You can freely ask questions, brainstorm ideas, and get help without worrying about unintended modifications to your codebase.

Use it as an AI-powered development partner that offers insights, debugging help, and guidance within Mocha.

Discuss Mode transforms Mocha from a code generator into an interactive assistant that helps you plan effectively, debug intelligently, and ship confidently.

Discuss Mode now runs on the same model as code mode, giving it full access to your conversation history and the ability to investigate issues in real-time by taking screenshots and reading logs. It can also take multiple turns on its own to dig deeper into problems before reporting back.
