Model Pilot

You write the request -- the pilot picks the best model. Code, image, research or fast answer: routed to fit.

How Model Pilot works

Five steps from prompt to answer -- with transparent routing rationale in the audit log.

  1. 1

    Just write the request -- no model picker

    Write as usual. Model Pilot is on by default and takes the call. Switching to manual selection is one click away.

  2. 2

    Pilot analyses the request in real time

    Based on key signals (attachments, code, keywords, desired tone) Pilot classifies the request into a category: code, vision, reasoning, research, fast answer.

  3. 3

    Routing to the optimal model

    Each category has its preferred model -- e.g. Claude Opus for reasoning, Gemini for vision, GPT with web search for research. The company admin can adjust per team.

  4. 4

    Answer with routing rationale

    The answer comes back and Pilot shows a short rationale: 'Reasoning detected -> Claude Opus'. The choice stays transparent and auditable.

  5. 5

    Audit entry with model rationale

    Every routing decision lands in the audit log: detected category, chosen model, alternative models, token usage.

Who benefits from Model Pilot?

Four roles for whom automatic model choice saves time and tokens.

Generalists & power users

Anyone juggling different tasks all day -- email, research, code, image analysis -- saves the per-task model decision.

IT & engineering

Pilot routes code requests to a coding model, architecture discussions to a reasoning model -- without each engineer needing to know the models.

Marketing & content

Tone tasks to creative models, fact-checks to research models, image descriptions to vision models.

Onboarding new staff

New colleagues do not need to learn 100+ models -- Pilot takes over while they focus on the task.

Why auto-routing?

Your requests do not train AI models -- contractually guaranteed
Best answer quality without model expertise
Saves tokens because routine requests use smaller models
Override anytime -- power users can pick manually
Audit trail logs every routing decision

Frequently asked questions on Model Pilot

Answers on routing logic, configuration, cost and override options.

How does Model Pilot pick the right model?+

Pilot analyses the request using key signals: language, attachments (image, code, PDF), task type (reasoning, creative, research, fast answer). From these signals a category is derived that selects the matching model.

Which categories does Pilot distinguish?+

Currently five: reasoning & analysis, vision & image, web research & live data, code & tech, fast answer & routine. Each category has a default model that is overridable per tenant.

Can I override the model choice anytime?+

Yes. The chat window has a 'Pilot' / 'Manual' toggle. Manual lets you pick from 100+ EU models directly. You can switch per request even within the same chat.

Does Pilot really save tokens and cost?+

Yes. Routine requests get routed to smaller, cheaper models (e.g. Claude Haiku instead of Opus, Mistral Small instead of Large). Savings average 30-60 percent versus 'always the largest model'.

Who decides which model is used per category?+

The company admin in the superadmin panel per tenant. Defaults are Claude Opus 4.7, Gemini 2.5 Pro, GPT-5.x, Mistral Large -- depending on plan configuration.

Does Pilot work with all data types?+

Yes -- text, image, PDF, Excel, CSV, code, voice input. If Pilot detects e.g. an image in the upload, it auto-routes to a vision model.

Can Pilot also poll multiple models for the same request?+

Currently one model is picked per request. For parallel answers from multiple models use Model Comparison -- a separate mode.

Is the routing decision documented?+

Yes -- every Pilot decision lands in the audit log with detected category, selected model and rationale. This helps with compliance audits and model optimisation.
