Your agents need an AI to think. You connect it the first time you sign in (“Step 1 of 2 — Connect your AI”) and afterwards you manage it from Settings → Models. If you’re not sure which one to choose, see Your AI and the models.

Your agents will be able to think with it while your trial lasts.With minai’s AI there’s a usage cap per day and per trial, and you can’t move to a paid plan while it’s connected: first connect your subscription or your API and disconnect it. What you talk about with your agents goes through minai’s account at the AI provider.
Then: each agent chooses
With more than one AI connected, each agent chooses its own: when you create it, or later on its Model screen. See Change an agent.
Disconnecting
In Settings → Models, tap Disconnect on the one you want to remove.
The agents that think with that AI stop answering until you connect one again or choose another one for them. If you disconnect your own API, the stored key is deleted.
Your own API and minai’s AI can’t be connected at the same time. If you connect one while you have the other, minai asks whether you want to replace it, and the agents that used the old one start thinking with the new one.
