What is a “model”?

A model is the “brain” the AI uses to answer you. AI Suite offers several models, and you can switch between them. Here’s the easy way to think about it:
Choosing a model is like choosing a worker for a task. Some workers are super fast and great for everyday jobs. Others are slower but think more carefully — perfect for hard problems. You pick the right one for what you need.
You don’t need to understand the technology. You just need to know: fast models for quick, simple things; smart models for hard, important things.

The simple rule

Pick a FAST model when...

You want quick answers, simple writing, short summaries, or casual brainstorming. Great for everyday use.

Pick a SMART model when...

The task is tricky, detailed, or important — deep analysis, careful reasoning, or long, high-quality writing.
Smart models can take a little longer and may use more of your credits. That’s normal — they’re doing more thinking. See Team & billing to understand credits.

How to switch the model

1

Find the model picker

In Chat (and in apps and agents), there’s a small dropdown showing the current model’s name, usually near the message box or at the top of the conversation.

The model picker. Click it to see the list of available AIs.

2

Open the list

Click it. You’ll see the models you can choose from, each with a short label.
3

Pick one

Click the model you want. Your next message will use it. You can change it again any time — even mid-conversation.

Which one should I start with?

If you’re not sure, use the default model. It’s chosen to work well for most everyday tasks. Only switch to a smarter model if an answer feels too shallow, or to a faster one if you just want quick replies.

A quick way to compare

Not sure if a smarter model is worth it? Ask the same question with two different models and compare the answers. You’ll quickly get a feel for which one suits your work.

The way you ask matters even more than the model. Here’s how to ask well.
