+ menu
Click + in the input box to choose the materials and tools for this question. The items shown depend on your platform and organization settings.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Add files | Attaches files from this computer or phone. |
| Photos · Camera | On a narrow screen such as a phone, choose or take a photo and attach it. |
| Drive | Choose files or folders from Drive. |
| Prompt | Loads a saved prompt or skill. |
| Web Search | Includes web search results for this question. |
| File search | Switches to a mode that finds files in your documents and Drive. Same as /find. |
| Deep Research | Researches multiple sources over a longer period and organizes the results into a report. |
| Plugins | Chooses the plugins to use in this conversation. |
| Add folder | Connects a folder on this computer in Cowork and code mode in the desktop app. |
Files can also be attached by dragging them into the input box or pasting them from the clipboard. On keural.ai, attach up to 10 MB per file and up to 10 files at a time, and enter up to 100,000 characters. The desktop app does not upload files over 10 MB, and reads them directly from this computer's path.
Levels and models
Keural server models are chosen by level, not by model name. The level determines the model that answers and how long it thinks.
| Level | Use |
|---|---|
| Fast | Fastest replies |
| Light | Quick, lightweight tasks |
| Standard | Balanced default for most work |
| High | Complex analysis and reasoning |
| Ultra | Top performance for the hardest work |
Levels above your plan's limit and levels with no model available cannot be selected. The model that answers is shown in the level menu.
In the desktop app, switch between Cloud and Local with the switch at the top right of the level menu. In Local, select a model name to choose a model on this device or a remote machine (local models, Spark). The five levels only change how long that model thinks. Models from gateways you connect directly are also chosen from the same menu.
Code mode chooses the model by level, and sets Thinking (Fast, Medium, High, Extra, Max) separately.
