# Dapta Auto

Dapta Auto is the model Dapta chooses and keeps up to date for your Text Agent. New agents start on it, it reads images and voice notes, and it costs 40 credits per answer.

**Dapta Auto** is the AI model Dapta manages for you. You don't have to compare a list of models or check every few weeks whether a better one came out: choose Dapta Auto once, and Dapta picks the model behind it for fast, efficient answers and moves it to a better one after testing it. Your agent and its prompt stay as they are.

| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **New Text Agents**         | Start on Dapta Auto, whether you create them yourself or with Dapti. You don't have to pick a model.          |
| **Agents you already have** | Keep the model they use today. Nothing switches by itself: you move an agent when you decide to.              |
| **Duplicated agents**       | Keep the model of the agent you copied.                                                                       |
| **Price**                   | 40 credits per AI answer. See [How credits work](/my-account/how-credits-work-in-dapta.md).                   |
| **Images and voice notes**  | Dapta Auto reads the images your customers send and understands their voice notes. It always replies in text. |
| **Updates**                 | When Dapta moves Dapta Auto to a better model, every agent on it gets the change. You don't touch anything.   |

{% hint style="warning" %}
**GPT-4o retires on 9 November 2026.** If one of your agents uses it, follow the three steps below to move it to Dapta Auto before that date.

**📘 What you'll learn in this document:**

* **Step 1:** Find the **Model** setting of your agent.
* **Step 2:** Choose **Dapta Auto**.
* **Step 3:** Save, test and publish.

***

#### Step 1: Open the Model setting

1. Open your **Text Agent** and go to the **Settings** tab.
2. Find **Model**, below the company description and above **Temperature**.

***

#### Step 2: Choose Dapta Auto

Click the list. **Dapta Auto** is the first option, marked **Recommended**. Next to it you see its price per answer and the microphone and image icons, which mean it handles voice notes and images.

Once it's selected, the field reads *Managed by Dapta for fast, efficient responses. Updated automatically.*

***

#### Step 3: Save, test and publish

1. Click **Save Agent**.
2. Send a few real messages in the **Playground**, including the questions your customers ask most.
3. Click **Publish**. Your customers talk to the published agent, so the change is live from then on.

{% hint style="info" %}
The prompt still decides how your agent behaves. A new model can phrase things differently, so test the conversations that matter before you publish, and adjust the prompt if you need to.
{% endhint %}

## Which model is behind Dapta Auto?

Dapta doesn't show it, on purpose. It is the part Dapta takes care of, and it changes when Dapta finds a better option. What doesn't change is what you see: the name **Dapta Auto**, its price per answer, and that it reads images and voice notes.

If you need a specific model by name, for example because your company approves only certain AI providers, choose that model from the list instead.

## Troubleshooting

<details>

<summary>I don't see Dapta Auto in the Model list</summary>

Dapta Auto is a model of **Text Agents**. Agents built with [Text Agents Legacy](/product-guides/text-agents-legacy.md) don't have it. Create the agent again as a Text Agent to use it.

</details>

<details>

<summary>My agent answers differently after the switch</summary>

Test the conversations that changed in the **Playground** and adjust the prompt, or use **Improve with AI**. If you'd rather go back, choose the previous model in **Model**, save and publish: nothing else on the agent changed.

</details>

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.dapta.ai/ai-text-agents/setting-up-your-text-agent/dapta-auto.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
