Chat

Settings, Chat holds four settings that shape how the assistant answers you.

Answer language

The language DeutschlandGPT prefers to answer in, regardless of the language you write in. This one belongs to your account, so it also applies in the browser and on your other devices.

It is a preference, not a hard rule: if you explicitly ask for an answer in another language, you get that language.

Voice input

The language used for transcribing speech, both for the microphone button in the composer and for Dictation. Automatic lets the transcriber detect the language, which is the right choice when you switch languages during the day.

Set it explicitly when you always speak the same language. Automatic detection occasionally guesses wrong on a short recording of a single word, and a fixed language cannot.

This setting also belongs to your account.

Answer depth

How thoroughly reasoning-capable models think before they answer: low, medium or high.

Level	When it fits
Low	Short questions, reformulations, lookups. Fastest, cheapest
Medium	The default for everyday work
High	Analysis, tricky bugs, decisions with several trade-offs. Noticeably slower

The setting is the default for new conversations. In an individual conversation you can change it in the header, and in Code and Cowork with the /effort command. Models without a reasoning mode ignore it.

Show task list

Shows the assistant's list of work steps as a pinned bar above the composer in Code and Cowork, with one entry per step and its state: open, in progress, done or skipped.

Switched off, the assistant does not get the tool at all for this app, so it has no way to produce a list. It is also told not to write a stand-in checklist into the conversation instead, which is what made the earlier version of this switch feel like it did nothing.
