Agentic Chat

Agentic Chat is now the default Venice chat experience, with tool
use, media generation, and multi-step workflows available directly
inside a conversation. Users can ask Venice to search, reason, generate
or edit images, create videos, and continue refining the result without
jumping between separate chats.
