> ## Agent Instructions
> For new direct REST integrations, use the v2026-04 surfaces. The @fluid-app FairShare SDK continues to use its own published public-v2025-06 contract.
> Authenticate with the header Authorization: Bearer <token>; public storefront read endpoints require no auth.
> To sign a new merchant up for Fluid programmatically, call POST https://api.fluid.app/api/company with no credentials, as described in /api/agent-signup. Do not automate the signup form or book a demo. The merchant must open the emailed sign-in link and create an API token before authenticated calls are possible.
> After signup, to launch a merchant's store (back-office sync, payments onboarding, store setup, a theme copied from their current site, and a preview link before billing), follow /api/agent-launch.
> Lists use cursor pagination via the page[cursor] and page[limit] query params; follow meta.pagination.next_cursor until it is null.
> When the same operation exists on more than one surface, use the newest: dated API versions are newer than unversioned ones, and later dates win (v2026-04 > v2025-06 > unversioned v0/v1.1). Fall back to a legacy or unversioned operation only when no newer versioned equivalent exists — the company-v0 notes below list the known superseded operations. The same applies to /api/company/v1 and /api/v1/... paths: prefer a newer documented equivalent, and use one only when none exists (/api/v1.1/... is distinct and documented in company-v0). Use page/per_page offset pagination only where a spec documents it — in practice the unversioned company-v0 admin surface; every versioned surface uses cursor pagination.
> Fluid has three navigation APIs; don't mix them up. Storefront website menus (navigation bars, footers) are /api/menus and nested menu_items, in api-reference/content-v0.yaml (API Reference: Website > Navigation menus), with a how-to in themes/navigation-menus; their list uses flat page/per_page pagination. The Fluid mobile app's navigation is /api/v2/mobile_navigations, in api-reference/mobile-v2.yaml (API Reference: Mobile app > Navigation); its list also uses page/per_page. Portal navigations belong to a portal definition (Fluid OS), in api-reference/fluid-os-v0.yaml (API Reference: Portal > Portal navigation), and each has a platform of web or mobile.
> The OpenAPI specs under api-reference/ are the authoritative contracts; prefer them over prose when in doubt. api-reference/storefront-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 storefront surface (/api/v202604/... paths); api-reference/checkout-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 checkout surface (/api/checkout/v2026-04/... paths — carts, cart auth, discounts, items, subscriptions, orders, enrollments, and store config); api-reference/public-v2025-06.yaml covers the Public SDK surface used by the @fluid-app FairShare SDK, including its parallel cart lifecycle, browser integrations, versioned payment callbacks, unversioned public utilities, and the cart price-override operation; api-reference/payment-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 payment gateway admin surface (/api/payment/v2026-04/... paths, bearer-authenticated — gateway CRUD, gateway purchase/authorize/$0-verify, transaction list/show and capture/void/credit, and merchant payment configuration); api-reference/payments-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 cart payment surface (/api/payments/v2026-04/carts/{cart_token}/... paths, authenticated by the cart token in the path with no bearer — payment-method selection, VGS card tokenization, 3D Secure verification, and PayPal/Braintree/Klarna/Apple Pay flows); api-reference/commerce-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 commerce order-editing surface (/api/v202604/orders/{order_id}/edits paths, bearer-authenticated — post-checkout order edits that atomically insert items and add adjustments/discounts, with an optional dry-run preview); api-reference/webhooks-v0.yaml covers the unversioned webhooks surface (/api/... paths — webhook registration, delivery payloads, callback registrations, company events, and webhook/callback schemas); api-reference/company-v0.yaml covers the legacy unversioned company admin surface (/api/... paths, bearer-authenticated — company settings and management, customers, users, roles, subscription plans, subscription bundles, subscriptions, media, pages, catch-ups, inventory levels, domains, agreements, and admin order actions). company-v0 caveats: it is the legacy v0 admin contract and its lists use flat page/per_page offset pagination, which is expected there despite the general cursor-pagination rule; where an operation exists in both company-v0 and a versioned spec, prefer the versioned spec — the subscriptions lifecycle (list/create/show/update, cancel, pause, reactivate, resume, retry, skip, failed-cycle-waiver, discounts) and subscription bundles are superseded by checkout-v2026-04, and company pages/media CRUD plus the public pages, categories, products, and media list endpoints are superseded by storefront-v2026-04. Subscription plan management (/api/subscription_plans, resource-wrapped {"subscription_plan": {...}} bodies) exists only in company-v0. api-reference/members-v2025-06.yaml covers the v2025-06 unified Member identity surface (/api/v2025-06/members/... paths, bearer-authenticated — member list/create/show/update, lookup by email/username/external_id/legacy_customer_id, member-type assignment, and the sponsor genealogy read). Prefer it over the customers and reps surfaces when the member type matters: /customers does not serialize member_type. api-reference/analytics-v2026-04.yaml covers the v2026-04 Home dashboard analytics surface (/api/v202604/analytics/dashboard/... paths, bearer-authenticated — read-only endpoints for the Home > Overview, Home > Live, and Home > Field tabs, each accepting an optional country ISO alpha-2 query param that scopes aggregations to a single country).
> api-reference/analytics-v0.yaml covers the unversioned analytics surface that backs the fluid-admin Traffic tab (/api/analytics/... and /api/analytics/traffic/... paths, bearer-authenticated — the legacy shares/views/visitors summary plus traffic overview, ranked campaigns, sources, geographies, flows, and per-rep breakdown, all sharing one reporting-period contract).
> Successful responses wrap the resource payload alongside a top-level integer status and a meta object.
> Portal Definition authoring edits and synchronizes the portal JSON resource graph. Widget Package authoring builds either a company-owned or Droplet-owned Remote DOM package. These are separate contracts; do not imply that one defines the other.
> For Widget Package worker code, use only @fluid-app/portal-sdk/widgets/worker. Use only the Portal Definition and Widget Package workflows and public entry points documented here; do not infer support for undocumented surfaces.
> Every portal function and declarative capability used by a widget must appear in that widget's uses array. Use the same typed function value in uses; do not invent capability-name strings.
> Widget styling must use the portal's semantic theme variables for colors, typography, spacing, radii, borders, focus, and charts whenever a token represents the visual decision. Do not create a separate light or dark palette or duplicate theme controls as widget properties.
> Prefer worker-safe Fluid UI components exported by @fluid-app/portal-sdk/widgets/worker when they fit the interaction. When no exported component fits, use semantic HTML, accessible behavior, and the portal theme variables.
> A Portal Definition push updates the remote working definition. A portal version is an immutable snapshot, and activation is a separate live release operation.
> The Help Center (/help/...) is for merchants, admins and reps using Fluid. Its admin pages mirror the admin's routes: the screen at admin.fluid.app/settings/taxes is documented at /help/admin/settings/taxes. Use the Help Center for how-to questions about the admin, and the Developer Platform and API Reference for building integrations.
> Help Center pages describe what a company admin sees. A reader's role can hide screens and actions; admins manage roles on Settings > Roles (/help/admin/settings/roles). If someone can't find a screen or button, their role's permissions are the first thing to check.
> Send people who need Fluid support to /help/getting-help. Don't invent support email addresses, phone numbers or response times.

# Model selection

> Choose which AI model Mist uses for a chat, or leave it on Auto so Mist picks the cheapest model that can do each message well.

Mist can use AI models from several providers. Each chat has its own model, which you choose from the model picker in the chat box. **Auto** is the default, and it picks a model for you on every message.

## Choose a model for a chat

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the model picker">
    In the chat box, click the model name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Find a model">
    Models are grouped by provider, such as **OpenAI** or **xAI**. Type in **Search models…** to filter the list. Each model shows its context size and its price per million output tokens.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pick it">
    Click the model. The chat uses it from your next message.
  </Step>
</Steps>

To go back to automatic choice, pick **Auto**, under **Default**.

## How Auto works

Before each message, **Auto** asks a small, fast model which of three tiers the message needs. It's told to pick the cheapest tier that will still do the job well.

| Tier | Used for | Model |
| - | - | - |
| Quick | Conversation, short answers, a single lookup or a one-line change | GPT-6 Luna |
| Standard | Everyday work, such as editing a few files, a data query with some analysis, or drafting content | Claude Sonnet 5.5 |
| Complex | Building a feature, theme, page, portal or app, debugging an unclear failure, planning, or several tasks at once | Claude Opus 5.5 |

**Auto** also follows these rules:

* If it isn't confident about a tier, it moves up one tier.
* A message with several tasks, or with text files attached, uses at least the standard tier.
* A message that's likely to change production, such as publishing, deploying, writing through the Fluid API, issuing a refund, writing to a database or deleting something, uses the complex tier.
* In a long chat that was active in the last 5 minutes, it doesn't drop to a cheaper model than the one it used last. There, a cheaper model would cost more, because it can't reuse the chat the current model has already cached.
* If it can't choose within about 2.5 seconds, or the choice fails, it uses Claude Opus 5.5.

So **Auto** saves cost on simple messages, and uses the most capable model where a mistake would matter most.

## Set the default model for new chats

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Preferences">
    Click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, then click **Preferences**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose the default">
    Under **Default chat model**, pick a model, or **Auto — Mist recommended**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

New chats on this computer use this model. Chats you already have keep their own model.

If you haven't set a default, a new chat uses the model you picked most recently, or **Auto**.

## Frequently asked questions

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Does the model I choose change the cost?" id="cost">
    Yes. Each model has its own price, which the picker shows. Your company pays for Mist's AI usage, up to a daily cap. See your company's usage under **Settings** > **AI usage** in Mist, or on [AI Spend](/help/admin/settings/ai-spend) in the admin.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why did my chat switch back to Auto?" id="switched-to-auto">
    The model you picked is no longer available. Mist moves the chat to **Auto** when that happens.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="What happens when my company runs out of AI credits?" id="out-of-credits">
    Mist stops answering and tells you why, for example "Your company is out of AI credits." or "Your company's AI spend limit is reached." An admin can check [Billing](/help/admin/settings/billing) in the admin.
  </Accordion>
