Response effort controls how deeply the agentic AI searches and reasons before generating an answer. Higher effort produces more thorough answers but uses more usage.

Effort Levels

• Low — Quick lookups and simple questions. The AI does a fast search and returns a concise answer. Best for FAQs and straightforward queries. Lightest on your usage.
• Medium — Balanced depth for most questions. The default setting. Provides detailed answers with relevant context from your documents.
• High — Thorough analysis for complex questions. The AI performs multi-step reasoning, cross-references multiple documents, and produces comprehensive answers. Uses more of your usage.

When to Use Each Level

Changing Effort Level

You can change the effort level in two ways:

• Default setting — Set a default effort level for each chatbot in its settings.
• Per message — Users can change the effort level for individual messages in the chat interface using the effort selector.
