The Agent can run at different depths depending on the job. You control this with modes, and you only pay for the work the Agent actually does.

​
Modes

Every message runs in one of three modes. Faster modes answer quickly; deeper modes do more thinking and use more tools for tougher problems. You pick the mode from the selector in the message box. Standard is the default and the right choice for most requests. Reach for Deep research when you’re asking the Agent to review everything — for example, auditing all your campaigns and creatives at once, or planning a launch end to end. Use Quick for simple lookups like “what products do I have?”

​
Switching modes

Change the mode anytime in the composer before you send a message. If you start a request in Quick mode that clearly needs more depth, the Agent gives you a quick first take and offers a one-click card to re-run it in a deeper mode. It never switches modes silently, because the mode affects the per-message credit cap.

​
How credits work

The Agent is a working media buyer, not a basic chatbot — so Agent messages are metered in credits, priced by how much work each turn does:
  • Glue turns are free — tapping a suggested chip, confirming a detail, and short clarifying replies that don’t trigger any analysis or tools don’t use any credits.
  • Working turns use credits — when the Agent pulls performance data, runs analysis, researches, or plans across campaigns, that message is charged (more work = more credits). Most real requests fall here.
Each mode has a maximum cost per message, so you always know the ceiling: Any paid action is confirmed before it runs, so there are never silent charges or surprises. Credits are priced to be plentiful — a typical message is a small fraction of your monthly balance, and your balance lives on the Billing & Subscription page.
Images, videos, and campaign launches the Agent creates for you are charged at the same rates as everywhere else in AdStellar — not out of the per-message chat cap. You’ll always see the cost and confirm before anything is generated or launched. See How Credits Work for those rates.

​
Running low on credits

If your balance is low, the Agent automatically keeps you in the most capable mode you can fully afford. If you run out, you’ll be prompted to upgrade or add credits before running a paid message — but you can still get help and quick answers. To top up or change your plan, see Plans & Credits and Manage Subscription.
