reasoning.

Zookeeper includes Auto, Standard, and Thoughtful modes. Available modes depend on your plan, and
unavailable modes appear in the selector with upgrade messaging.
## Modes

[Modes](/docs/zoo-design-studio/features/ml-ai/modes) covers Auto, Standard, and Thoughtful modes,
including how each mode balances reasoning depth and speed, and how plan availability affects the
selector.

title: Modes
excerpt: Choose between Auto, Standard, and Thoughtful modes in Zookeeper.
sidebarPosition: 0

Zookeeper has three modes: Auto, Standard, and Thoughtful. Modes change how much reasoning
Zookeeper applies before it responds. Use Auto when you want Zookeeper to choose for you, Standard
for quick work, and Thoughtful for complex CAD tasks that benefit from deeper reasoning.

## Auto

Auto chooses the model and reasoning effort for the task. Start here when you want Zookeeper to
balance speed, cost, and capability automatically.

## Thoughtful

Thoughtful takes more time, but gives Zookeeper more reasoning depth. Use it for complex CAD
modeling, multi-step edits, and workflows where quality matters more than response speed.

## Standard

Standard prioritizes faster responses with less reasoning depth. Use it for simple geometry
changes, quick iterations, web search, documentation lookup, or general questions about a design.

## Availability

Your plan determines which modes you can select. Modes that are not included in your plan still
appear in the selector with upgrade messaging, so you can see what is available on paid plans.

Free users can select Auto only. Paid plans include all three modes: Auto, Standard, and Thoughtful.

### Free plan

On the Free plan, Auto is selectable. Standard and Thoughtful stay visible but disabled until your
plan includes them.

### Paid plans

On paid plans, Auto, Standard, and Thoughtful are all selectable. Use Auto for automatic selection,
Standard for speed, or Thoughtful for deeper CAD reasoning.
