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.
ModeBest forSpeed vs. depth
QuickFast lookups and simple tasksFastest, lightest
Standard (default)Most create, improve, and analyze tasksBalanced — recommended
Deep researchBig analyses and multi-step planning across many campaignsMost thorough
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

Agent messages use AI credits based on the work done, so you only pay for messages that put the Agent to work:
  • Simple replies are free — quick follow-ups, clarifying answers, and short questions don’t use any credits.
  • Heavier requests use more credits — pulling performance data, running analysis, or planning across campaigns costs more than a quick lookup.
Each mode has a maximum cost per message, so you always know the ceiling:
ModeCredits per message
QuickFree – 2
StandardFree – 8
Deep researchFree – 20
The exact credit cost is shown on each reply, so there are never surprises.
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.
