[Solved] Smart Rule Chat Queries - Set model per rule

Hi,

I am experimenting with smart rules that process documents via chat queries. This is yet another feature with tremendous potential.

Request: Please enable setting the model for these queries per smart rule (i.e. not using the default model).

The reasoning here is that different models have different capabilities (and pricing), so depending on the use case the best models will likely differ.

If I just want a short document to be checked for spelling errors, then the model should be a different one than if I want a long text to be summarized containing all the key arguments.

Thanks for considering.

Actually, this feature exists. Maybe the UI could be modified slightly to make this more apparent.

The arrow-up / arrow-down icon that needs to be selected to open the model selector is a bit counterintuitive in my opinion.

Glad model selection is available though!

It’s basically like in the chat assistant.

True.

Good UI is quite subjective of course. Here I think a preview of the model provider icon would look better and make the selector more intuitive.
