Custom Profiles
🎛️ Build your own reasoning presets
Custom profiles let you create specialized tool combinations for your specific use cases.

Best Practices
-
Start with a built-in profile — Modify balanced or deep rather than starting from scratch
-
Match tools to use case — Don’t include tools you don’t need
-
Test your profile — Run it on sample questions before relying on it
-
Document your profiles — Add comments explaining when to use each
-
Share within teams — Custom profiles ensure consistent analysis
