AI Model tab

The AI Model tab controls which model powers the agent and how it generates responses. Start with a preset, then use advanced configuration only when the agent needs a specific model or parameter behavior.

What you can do here

  • Choose a model preset by use case.
  • See approximate average cost per preset.
  • Open advanced configuration.
  • Select a specific model.
  • Tune vocabulary range, repetition, topic diversity, creativity, and response length.

Presets

PresetBest forDefault behavior
SpeedFAQs, customer support, quick lookups.Faster, lower-cost responses.
BalancedGeneral assistants, email drafting, summaries.General-purpose default.
QualityCode review, research, detailed reports.Higher-quality model and longer output budget.
CreativeContent writing, brainstorming, marketing copy.Higher creativity and varied wording.
ReasoningData analysis, strategic planning, complex decisions.Stronger reasoning model and large output budget.
Cost-effectiveHigh-volume tasks, notifications, simple routing.Lower-cost model for simple work.

Use advanced configuration

  1. Open AI Model.
  2. Click Advanced Configuration.
  3. Choose a specific Model when a preset is not enough.
  4. Adjust only the parameters you understand.
  5. Save and test the agent.

Advanced parameters

ParameterWhat it controlsPractical guidance
ModelThe exact model used by the agent.Pick based on task difficulty, speed, cost, and provider availability.
Vocabulary RangeHow many word choices the model considers.Keep near default for most agents. Lower is more predictable; higher is more varied.
Reduce RepetitionWhether repeated words and phrases are discouraged.Increase for long-form writing that sounds repetitive.
Topic DiversityWhether the model explores related ideas.Keep low for support and lookup agents; increase for brainstorming.
CreativityRandomness or temperature.Low for factual work, higher for creative writing.
Response LengthMaximum tokens in a response.Increase for reports, code, and long analysis; lower for concise support replies.
