# Chat Defaults & Favorites

Canonical page: `https://nanthai.tech/features/chat-defaults`

Tier: Free

Set your ideal starting point for every new conversation.

Choose your default model, temperature, and token limits. Pin favourite model combos and personas to a quick-launch strip at the top of your chat list.

## How it works

1. **Set your defaults** — Open Settings and choose the model, temperature, and max token limit that every new conversation starts with. No more re-configuring each time.
2. **Pin your favourites** — Save model combos, personas, or multi-model configurations to the favourites strip. They appear as circular avatars at the top of your chat list for instant access.
3. **Launch with one tap** — Tap any favourite to start a new conversation pre-configured with that model, persona, or multi-model setup. Skip the setup entirely.

## What you can do

- **Default model selection** — Choose which AI model new conversations use by default from any of the 150+ available models. Pick once, and every new chat starts ready.
- **Temperature control** — Set your preferred creativity level. Lower for precise, factual answers; higher for creative, exploratory responses.
- **Token limits** — Control maximum response length. Set it once and forget it — every conversation respects your preference.
- **Favourites strip** — A scrollable row of your go-to configurations. Single models show their provider logo; multi-model combos show overlapping avatars.
- **Multi-model favourites** — Save your favourite 2- or 3-model combinations. One tap starts a multi-model chat with exactly the models you want.
- **Persona favourites** — Pin personas alongside models. Start a conversation that's already configured with the right AI personality and settings.
- **Override per conversation** — Defaults are starting points, not limits. Change the model or settings for any individual conversation at any time.

## Perfect for

- Coding sessions — setting a low-temperature default so every new chat is optimised for precise, deterministic code generation.
- Creative writing — saving a high-temperature favourite for when you want exploratory, imaginative responses.
- Quick comparisons — pinning a 3-model combo so you can instantly launch a multi-model chat without picking models each time.
- Research workflows — starting every new conversation with your preferred research persona, search enabled, ready to go.
