Full Release Notes

## Major Features


### Automatic Mode for native tool calling

For [Select providers](https://docs.anythingllm.com/features/chat-modes#available-chat-modes) that support native tool calling, you no longer need to use `@agent` to use tools. You can now just use the tools without asking.

If your prompt input does not have the "@" symbol, your chats will automatically use tools as needed.

## Intelligent Tool Selection

We have added a new feature called [Intelligent Tool Selection](https://docs.anythingllm.com/agent/intelligent-tool-selection). This feature allows you to load **unlimited** tools for your agent to use into context with better performance and save up to 80% on token usage every single chat.

## Filesystem Agent

We have added a new feature called [Filesystem Agent](https://docs.anythingllm.com/agent/usage#file-system-agent). This feature allows you to use the filesystem of your host machine to search for files and directories.

## Document Generation Agent

We have added a new built-in agent for [Document Generation](https://docs.anythingllm.com/agent/usage#document-generation-agent). With document generation, you can generate text files, PDFs, Excel files, Docx, and even entire PowerPoint presentations.
