Some questions need a fast answer. Others deserve deeper thinking. Boldstream lets you choose — so you're never waiting longer than you need to, or rushing something complex. Here's how to control the speed and depth of the assistant's replies.

Above: open the model picker in the message box, choose a level — Max, Medium or Lite — then type your question.

Every chat starts on Max — the most capable setting, and the right call for most work. When you want a faster reply, step down a level or simply ask for one.

In the message box you'll see a model picker with three levels — Max, Medium and Lite. Think of it as a dial for thinking power:

To speed things up, just step down from Max to Medium or Lite.

You can steer the depth with plain language, too. Add a line like "keep it brief — quick answer" and the assistant spends less time thinking. Ask it to "think this through carefully" and it'll go deeper. No settings to change.

When you're running an agent or a multi-step workflow, you'll see a Stream button (the lightning bolt) in the toolbar. It isn't about speed — it lets the assistant work through several steps in a row without stopping to check in after each one, which is handy for bigger pieces of work.

💡 Tip: Leave it on Max day-to-day. Step down to Lite — or just say "quick answer" — when you want a faster reply.

Found your rhythm? Next time a brief is complex, keep it on Max and let the assistant take its time — that's where the depth pays off.
