## AI Models

Crew uses different AI models depending on the complexity of your request. Models are automatically selected — you don't need to choose.

### Flash (Fast & Efficient)

For simple tasks — quick greetings, short questions, basic translations.

### Core (Smart & Reliable)

For everyday tasks — email summaries, calendar management, general questions. The default for most conversations.

### Insight (Deep & Analytical)

For complex work — detailed analysis, coding, long document processing, creative writing. Automatically activated when your request requires deeper thinking.

### Prime (Maximum Power)

The most capable model available, for the most demanding tasks. Free and Basic include a limited number of Prime uses per month; Plus consistently answers with Insight; on **Pro**, Prime is enabled automatically for complex tasks (and can be selected manually when you need maximum intelligence).

### How Auto-Routing Works

You don't need to choose a model — Crew analyzes your message and picks the right one:

* **Simple messages** (short greetings, basic questions) → Flash
* **Normal messages** (most everyday requests) → Core
* **Complex messages** (analysis keywords, code blocks, document creation) → Insight
* **Pro plan**: Prime is available for the most demanding tasks

### When You Reach Your Daily Limit

Each plan includes a set number of conversations per day, which resets at **00:00 UTC**. When you reach the limit, chat pauses until the next reset — there's no separate degraded mode, and full quality resumes automatically. Upgrade for a higher daily limit.

## Choosing the Right Plan

### Free — Try It Out

Perfect for exploring Crew's capabilities. You get 15 conversations per day, 1 messenger connection, and access to all built-in tools.

180 conversations a day, up to 5 messengers, and access to **Missions** — AI that works autonomously across days. Always answers with Insight for the highest quality responses.

**Best for**: Power users, small teams, people who use Crew throughout the day

### Pro ($99/month) — The Ultimate AI Assistant

500 conversations a day, unlimited channels/tools/documents, **Prime** model access, and unlimited Missions. The most powerful Crew experience.

**Best for**: Heavy daily users, developers, agencies, professionals who need the absolute best AI
