The AI tutor & vibe coding¶
The Agent tab of the PhysiCar panel is an action-capable AI tutor: it reads your files, runs commands, drives the robot, and writes code with you. No sign-in is needed for the Tutorials and System tabs; the tutor itself uses your account.
First conversation¶
- Open the panel's Agent › Chat tab.
- Ask something concrete: "Drive forward for 2 seconds, then show me the camera."
- The tutor calls tools — you'll see each call and its result inline — and reports back. That is tool calling, the core of every AI agent.
Vibe coding¶
Describe what you want; the tutor writes and runs the code:
- "Make the robot honk when it sees a red light" — it writes the script, runs it, and tells you how to stop it.
- Paste screenshots (up to 4) straight into the input when something looks wrong.
- Stuck mid-course? Ask it to read the error — it sees your terminal output too.
The three badges (bottom of the panel)¶
- MODEL — pick the AI model; prices show as cost multipliers (x1, x2, ...).
- INSTRUCTIONS — your standing instructions (see Write instructions).
- TOOLS — enable/disable what the tutor can do; a disabled tool is invisible to it.
Realtime (the second sub-tab) is the same conversation by live voice — completed voice turns appear in the chat thread.
