Not every job needs the same amount of thinking. Watching a feed for a keyword and writing a considered market analysis are different problems, and until now they ran the same way.

Every assistant now has a power level, and you set it per assistant or per run.

  • Normal — the default, and right for nearly everything. Monitors, trackers, digests, feed pollers.
  • High — a stronger model when the work needs more care: summarising, classifying, routine analysis.
  • Max — the most capable model, for research synthesis and multi-step judgment.

The stronger levels draw more from the daily budget your assistants already share, so turning one assistant up means fewer runs elsewhere that day. That’s the whole trade: breadth or depth, on your terms.

Nothing changes silently. An assistant stays at the level you set until you move it, and changing it affects future runs only — never work already done.
