AI Teams: Choosing Your Model Lineup

Quick Answer: AI Teams groups your AI models into specialist teams - the A-team, Operators, and Daily Drivers - and lets you choose which model from each provider fills each team’s slot. Leave it on Auto and the Smart Selector routes each message to the best-fit team, or pick a team yourself for a single turn.
Note: This page previously described the retired “Full Power / Balanced” AI Power selector. That control was replaced by AI Teams - everything below reflects the current system.

What It Does

Each AI provider (Claude, GPT, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity) offers multiple model tiers - from fast and efficient to powerful and thorough. AI Teams organizes those tiers into named teams, and you choose which model from each provider fills each team’s slot - all-premium, all-fast, or any mix that fits how you work.

The A-team

Deep deliberation for strategic decisions, novel problems, and high-stakes calls. Uses the most capable version of each AI.
  • Produces more thorough, nuanced responses
  • Handles complex reasoning better
  • Uses more of your monthly usage per message
Best for: Complex analysis, high-stakes decisions, detailed research, important documents.

Operators

The workhorse team - real tasks that don’t need maximum brainpower at maximum cost.
  • Handles day-to-day professional work well
  • Balances depth and usage per message
Best for: Planning, drafting, and everyday questions that still deserve a capable model.

Daily Drivers

Speed and large context for parsing, structured extraction, and data work.
  • Responds quicker
  • Uses the least of your monthly usage per message
  • Handles everyday questions well
Best for: Quick questions, brainstorming, everyday tasks, casual exploration. This is the default team for new conversations.

Auto and the Smart Selector

Leave your team on Auto and the Smart Selector routes each message to the best-fit team automatically. You can also pick a team manually for a single turn - it applies to that message, then hands control back to Auto.

Where to Find It

Go to Settings, Usage Control tab. Your AI Teams lineup is there. You can also pick a team per turn from the chat’s settings panel.

Availability

AI Teams model selection is available on every plan. Spark includes two teams - Operators and Daily Drivers (no A-team) - and you switch between them per turn. The automatic Smart Selector (Auto) and the third team, the A-team, are available on Pro, Frontier, Power, and Enterprise. Frontier, Power, and Enterprise can additionally select the most capable premium models into any team slot.

Tips

  • Leave it on Auto for most conversations (Pro and above) - the Smart Selector routes each message to the best-fit team, so you rarely need to think about it.
  • Switch to the A-team manually when a question deserves the extra depth. Most everyday questions don’t need the most powerful models.
  • Daily Drivers uses the least of your monthly usage per message. If you’re hitting your usage limits, lean on Daily Drivers for routine tasks and save the A-team for important conversations.
  • The difference is most noticeable on complex, multi-layered questions. For simple factual queries, the teams produce similar results.
  • Your AI Teams setting applies to all modes - Sequential, Super Mind, Debate, and others.
