Choose Quick, Balanced, or Deep

Pick the right AI tier for the job, or let Auto choose for each message.

AvailableLast reviewed 2026-10-05

Match the amount of AI effort to the task by choosing a tier, or leave it on Auto.

What you need

  • An open chat. The tier picker is next to the send button. On narrow phone screens it is hidden.

Steps

  1. Open the picker. In the message area, choose the button that shows the current tier (it reads Auto by default). The list is titled Select AI Tier.

    The tier picker open above the message box, listing Auto, Quick, Balanced and Deep with the active tier marked

  2. Choose a tier. The tiers and the descriptions shown are:

    • Auto: picks the right one for each message.
    • Quick: fast answers, simple questions.
    • Balanced: everyday chat and writing.
    • Deep: complex problems, careful analysis.
  3. Send your message. The chosen tier is marked Active in the list.

Expected result

Your messages use the tier you picked. With Auto, the assistant decides per message.

Tips

  • Use Auto unless you have a reason not to.
  • Use Quick for lookups and rewrites, Balanced for drafting, and Deep for plans, analysis, and research.
  • The picker shows tiers, not individual model names. Which model sits behind a tier can change over time.
  • When you run an AI Skill, the panel has its own Model choice with the same four tiers.

Troubleshooting

  • The picker says "No models configured". The list could not be loaded. Refresh the page; if it persists, contact support.
  • You cannot find the picker on your phone. It is hidden on narrow screens; use a wider window or rotate the device.
