Systems and automatic mode
What is automatic mode?
When enabled, the theory selector shows Auto, and the Agent recommends a path such as BaZi or tarot based on the kind of question, so you do not switch by hand every time.
Manual or automatic?
| Situation | Suggestion |
|---|---|
| You know the system well | Pin it manually; the system in use is explicit |
| You are unsure which to use | Automatic |
| Short-term divination (one matter per reading) | Tarot, six lines |
| Natal fortune cycles, annual pillars | BaZi, Zi Wei, astrology (profile card required) |
Can I ask several systems at once?
A conversation usually advances along one workflow. To change systems, start a new conversation and select another theory, or tell the Agent explicitly to switch to a different system.
Does automatic mode switch models?
No. Auto only affects the metaphysics charting path; the model is still configured under Settings → Models.

Can automatic mode fill in unknown records?
It cannot turn an unknown birth hour into a known fact. State the missing records honestly and, where useful, compare candidate conditions. Selecting a path automatically also does not mean the corresponding prediction has been validated; see Chart confirmation and inquiries.
How to compare results after switching systems
Keep the person, the inputs, and the time range clear, and check each tool's output separately instead of comparing which conclusion you like better. Similar wording from different systems is not independent proof of accuracy.
