When to Use Each Mode
Quick mode is your default for straightforward questions. Need to find a specific date, definition, or data point? Quick mode finds it in seconds at just 2 credits. It is fast enough for rapid-fire questions when you are scanning a document for specific information.
Balanced mode is what most people use most of the time. When you want a detailed explanation, a summary with context, or an answer that connects multiple sections of the document, Balanced delivers at 8 credits per question. It provides the depth of a thorough reading without the premium cost.
Thorough mode is for high-stakes analysis. Complex legal questions, multi-factor financial analysis, or academic research where you need the AI to reason carefully across many parts of the document. At 24 credits, it uses the most capable model to deliver comprehensive, nuanced answers. Available on Plus and Pro plans.
You can switch modes between questions in the same conversation. Start with Quick to get your bearings, then switch to Balanced or Thorough when you hit a complex topic. Each question is charged independently based on the mode used.
