# AI Modes FAQs

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What are AI Modes?">
    AI Modes let you choose which AI powers your builds. Each mode optimizes for different things — speed, design quality, reasoning depth, or cost.

    See [AI Modes](/features/ai-modes) for the full comparison.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which mode should I use?">
    **Enhanced** is the default and recommended for most projects. It produces the best visual designs and UI quality at low cost.

    * **Quick** — When you want fast iterations and lowest cost
    * **Enhanced** — For most projects (default)
    * **Max** — For complex logic, deep debugging, or architectural decisions
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Can I change modes mid-project?">
    Yes. Click the AI mode selector in the chat input area to switch anytime. Your next message will use the new mode. Previous messages are unaffected.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does the mode affect bit cost?">
    Yes. Max mode uses more bits per request than Quick or Enhanced. However, Enhanced often costs the same or less than Quick for the same task — it makes fewer mistakes, so you need fewer iterations.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why is Enhanced the default?">
    Enhanced produces the best UI designs, makes fewer mistakes, and costs roughly the same as Quick mode for most tasks. It's the best all-around option for the vast majority of projects.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="When should I use Max mode?">
    Use Max when you need:

    * Complex business logic or algorithms
    * Deep debugging of stubborn issues
    * Architectural decisions for large apps
    * Intricate data relationships

    Max has the strongest reasoning but costs more per request.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Do all plans have access to all modes?">
    * **Coffee & Builder** — Quick and Enhanced
    * **Pro & Scale** — Quick, Enhanced, and Max
  </Accordion>
