 ## Modes
 
-Monadic Chat has two modes. The `normal` mode utilizes OpenAI's chat API to achieve ChatGPT-like functionality. It is suitable for using a large language model as a competent companion for various pragmatic purposes. On the other hand, the `research` mode utilizes OpenAI's text-completion API. This mode allows for acquiring metadata in the background while receiving the primary response at each conversation turn. It may be especially useful for researchers exploring the possibilities of large-scale language models and their applications.
