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.| Mode | Best for | Speed vs. depth |
|---|---|---|
| Quick | Fast lookups and simple tasks | Fastest, lightest |
| Standard (default) | Most create, improve, and analyze tasks | Balanced — recommended |
| Deep research | Big analyses and multi-step planning across many campaigns | Most thorough |
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.
| Mode | Credits per message |
|---|---|
| Quick | Free – 2 |
| Standard | Free – 8 |
| Deep research | Free – 20 |
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.
