# Effort

Choose how much thinking Keli gives a request.

The effort selector sits beside the message field. Its labels are the same across the app:

- **Low**: quick rewrites, simple questions and short summaries.
- **High**: the everyday setting for work with several parts.
- **Max**: harder problems that benefit from more thinking; replies may take longer and use more credits.

## Try a smaller request first

“Fix the spelling in this paragraph” usually needs little thinking. “Compare these contracts and explain where their obligations differ” benefits from more. Raising effort gives Keli more room to reason; it does not guarantee a correct answer.

Effort changes the amount of work behind a reply, so it can change both waiting time and credit use. There is no fixed price multiplier per setting. Long chats, large attachments, and multi-step tasks matter too. See [How credits work](/credits).
