# Choose the AI models Mida uses

> Let Mida pick the best model for each task, or choose the model it uses for text, images, audio, video and 3D.

Mida picks a suitable AI model for each request by default. If you prefer a particular model, for example a faster one for quick brainstorms or a more capable one for detailed plans, you can choose the model Mida uses for each type of content.

## Open Model Settings

![Model Settings with the local agent and the main model marked](https://assets.mockflow.com/docs/media/88f9fbc105464513a3cebe3783e14aae.webp)

Open Mida and click the gear icon (**Model Settings**) below the prompt field. Each row sets the model for one type of content:

- **Main Model** (2) for boards, diagrams, plans and answers
- **Image Model**, **Audio Model**, **Video Model** and **3D Model** for generated media

Every row starts on **Auto (Best for task)**, which lets Mida choose.

## Pick a model

Open a row and choose a model, such as Gemini, Claude or GPT models. The **$** signs show how many AI credits a model uses compared with the others: more signs mean more credits per request. Your choice applies to your requests while the board is open. When you open the board again, the models are back on **Auto (Best for task)**.

See [AI credits](/docs/ai-credits) for how credits work.

## Use your own AI agent instead

At the top of Model Settings, **Connect Local Agent** (1) lets your own AI agent, such as Claude Code, answer and draw on the board on your computer, using no MockFlow AI credits. See [What is Bring your own AI](/docs/what-is-bring-your-own-ai).

## What is not available on the Basic and Plus plans

Choosing models is part of the Max plan. On other plans, Mida uses **Auto (Best for task)**, and the higher-cost models are marked **PRO**. See [MockFlow pricing](https://mockflow.com/pricing/) for details.
