Targeted Mode: You’re the Conductor

Quick Answer: Instead of a preset mode, you decide exactly which AIs respond and what each one does. Use @mentions to orchestrate the conversation your way.

​
What You’ll Learn

  • What Targeted mode means
  • How it differs from other modes
  • Common targeting patterns
  • When to use manual orchestration

​
What Is Targeted Mode?

In Sequential, Super Mind, Debate, Red Team, and First Principles modes, the system decides how the AIs collaborate. In Targeted mode, you decide. You’re the conductor of the orchestra. You choose:
  • Which AIs play
  • What each one does
  • In what order things happen
  • When to bring in new voices
The instrument: @mentions.

​
How It Works

There’s no special “Targeted mode” button. You simply use @mentions in your messages:
  • One AI: @Claude, analyze this
  • Two AIs: @Perplexity @Claude - research and analyze
  • Task assignment: @Grok - find trends, @Claude - interpret them
  • No @mention: All 5 respond (effectively Sequential mode)
You can mix these approaches within the same conversation. Start with all 5, then narrow to specific AIs for follow-ups.

​
Common Patterns

​
The Funnel

  1. Round 1: All 5 respond (broad exploration)
  2. Round 2: @mention the 2-3 most relevant AIs (narrowing)
  3. Round 3: @mention one AI for the final deep dive

​
The Specialist

You know exactly what you need. Skip straight to the right AI:

The Tag Team

Two AIs with complementary strengths:

The Panel

Assign a specific role to each:

​
The Advisor

Use one AI as your ongoing advisor for a topic:
Then keep @mentioning Claude throughout the conversation.

When to Use Targeted Mode

​
Targeted vs. Other Modes

Targeted mode gives you the most control. The trade-off: you need to know what you want.

​
Tips

  • Start broad, go narrow. Don’t jump to Targeted on a new topic unless you’re sure which AI you need.
  • Mix modes within a conversation. Start with Sequential (Round 1), then switch to Targeted (Round 2+).
  • You can always go back to all 5. Send a message without @mentions and the full team responds.
  • Learn AI strengths over time. The more you use Targeted, the better you’ll know which AI to call on. See Which AI for Which Task.
  • Targeted + Task Assignment is the power move. Assign specific tasks to specific AIs in one message for maximum efficiency.
