# AI models

> Configure which AI models Finseo uses for prompt tracking.

# AI models

AI model settings control where Finseo runs your tracking prompts. More models give broader coverage, but they also increase the number of AI answers generated per prompt.

## Available models

Finseo supports the following model channels in the dashboard:

| Model ID         | Description                                           |
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- |
| `chatgpt`        | ChatGPT GUI/UI-style tracking.                        |
| `chatgpt_gui`    | ChatGPT API-style tracking.                           |
| `perplexity`     | Perplexity answers and source citations.              |
| `ai_overview`    | Google AI Overview-style result tracking.             |
| `google_ai_mode` | Google AI Mode-style result tracking where available. |
| `claude`         | Claude answers.                                       |
| `grok`           | Grok answers.                                         |
| `mistral`        | Mistral answers.                                      |
| `deepseek`       | DeepSeek answers.                                     |
| `gemini`         | Gemini answers.                                       |

## Default model selection

New accounts start with these defaults:

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "chatgpt": true,
  "perplexity": true,
  "ai_overview": true,
  "chatgpt_gui": false,
  "google_ai_mode": false,
  "claude": false,
  "grok": false,
  "mistral": false,
  "deepseek": false,
  "gemini": false
}
```

This gives you coverage across ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google-style AI search without running every possible model.

## Account defaults vs project settings

Finseo supports two levels of model settings:

* **Account defaults** apply when a project has no custom model settings.
* **Project-specific settings** override the account defaults for one project.

Use project-specific settings when different brands, markets, or clients need different model coverage.

## Change enabled models

1. Open **Models**.
2. Select the project if you want project-specific settings.
3. Toggle the models you want to track.
4. Save the settings.

When you save project-specific settings, Finseo syncs existing tracking prompts in that project to the enabled model set. New prompts use the same enabled models by default.

## Model limits

Most plans can enable up to `3` models per prompt. Agency plans and custom enterprise quotes can allow more models.

If you hit the model limit, disable one model before enabling another. The limit is enforced when saving model preferences and when adding new prompts.

<Note>
  For agency accounts, model count affects projected monthly AI answers. Adding prompts across many models increases usage because each prompt is run once per enabled model.
</Note>

## How model count affects results

The number of generated answers is roughly:

```text theme={"system"}
tracked prompts × enabled models × scheduled runs
```

Example:

```text theme={"system"}
100 prompts × 3 models = 300 AI answers per run
100 prompts × 6 models = 600 AI answers per run
```

Use more models when you need broad market coverage. Use fewer models when you want focused tracking, faster analysis, or lower usage.

## Choosing a model mix

Start with:

* `chatgpt` for broad assistant visibility.
* `perplexity` for citation-heavy AI search behavior.
* `ai_overview` for Google AI result visibility.

Then add more models when they matter to your audience:

* Add `claude` for B2B, enterprise, technical, or research-heavy markets.
* Add `gemini` or `google_ai_mode` when Google AI surfaces are strategically important.
* Add `grok`, `mistral`, or `deepseek` when your audience uses those platforms.

## API behavior

When you create prompts through the API, you can pass an explicit `models` array.

```json theme={"system"}
{
  "prompt": "Best AI visibility tracking tools for agencies",
  "models": ["chatgpt", "perplexity", "ai_overview"],
  "language": "us",
  "tags": ["agency", "comparison"]
}
```

If you omit `models`, Finseo uses the enabled project settings. If no project settings exist, it uses the account defaults.
