Start with Fast
Fast is the default. It answers locally when it can and automatically checks the web for information that may be current.
Tutorial 01
Chat faster and choose the right mode
Use Fast for everyday work, Hybrid for double-checking, Web for live facts, and Local for private offline answers.
Use Hybrid deliberately
Hybrid always runs local AI and web research together, then reconciles the result. It is stronger for important factual work but takes longer.
Give the outcome first
Say what you need, who it is for, and the format. For example: “Explain photosynthesis to a 12-year-old in five bullets.”
Attach useful context
Use the paperclip for an image or document. Kairo can inspect it without making the file public.
