# Use generation settings

> Choose how Mint's AI agent uses generation presets, Custom settings, and billing or quota messages in Chat.

**Access:** Signed in and Optional/Beta

Generation settings control how Mint creates Previews and final assets from Chat.
Most users should start with the default preset and change settings only when
they have a specific reason.

## Open settings

**Access:** Signed in

In Chat, use either:

* The preset selector near the composer.
* The settings button beside the composer.

The settings dialog shows the current preset and the model choices behind it.
Use the labels shown in Mint as the source of truth.

## Choose a preset

**Access:** Signed in

Mint can show these presets:

* **Fast**: Use this for quick drafts and early idea exploration.
* **Standard**: Use this for most creation work.
* **Production**: Use this when you want to spend more time and Credits on a stronger result.
* **Custom**: Use this only when you want to choose specific generation models.

If you are unsure, keep the default preset.

## Use Custom carefully

**Access:** Optional/Beta

**Custom** exposes more model choices, including assistant, Preview, World, and
3D Model settings.

The visible labels can include assistant choices and generation choices for
Preview creation, Preview editing, World generation, and 3D Model generation.
Do not change them unless you know why you need a different label.

Use **Custom** when:

* You are comparing generation behavior.
* A teammate or Mint support asked you to try a specific option.
* You know which model label you want to use.

Switch back to **Fast**, **Standard**, or **Production** if Custom choices make
results harder to compare.

## Multi-image mode

**Access:** Signed in

When you add multiple images for a World, Mint can use them together to
understand and guide the space.

If Mint shows a multi-image mode, use the default when the images all describe
the same place. Choose a more specific mode only when the UI label matches your
intent, such as using images as layout direction or stronger visual control.

Use multiple images when:

* Each image shows a different useful angle.
* The images share a consistent style or lighting.
* You want Mint to understand a room, exterior, or object relationship.

Avoid mixing unrelated images in one request. If the images describe different
ideas, create separate chats.

## Billing and quota messages

**Access:** Signed in and Optional/Beta

If Mint cannot start a Preview or final generation, Chat can show a message above
the composer.

Common reasons include:

* You need more Credits.
* You need an active plan.
* Your included monthly Credits are used up.
* A subscription payment needs attention.
* Too many generations are already running.

Click the action in the message if you want to open **Account** or billing. The
checkout or generation screen is the source of truth before you spend Credits or
start a plan.

## Change settings during a chat

**Access:** Signed in

Settings apply to the next creation or edit you submit. Existing assets in the
thread do not change until you ask Mint to create or revise something.

A good workflow:

1. Start with **Standard**.
2. Generate a Preview.
3. Edit the Preview until the idea is clear.
4. Switch presets only if you need a different quality target.
5. Start final generation when the Preview looks right.
