## Agent types

We've split Carat's AI agent into three specialized versions.

| **Carat 1.0**      | Context understanding and smart judgment | Tasks requiring context awareness, requests needing appropriate judgment |
| **Carat 1.0 Soul** | Top performance                          | Complex and in-depth requests, tasks requiring high-quality results      |
