How to Switch AI Models Mid-Conversation

Ever wished you could get a second opinion from a different AI without starting your conversation over? With Go Ask Chat, you can switch between AI models mid-conversation and keep your entire chat history intact.

Ask GPT to write some code, then switch to Claude for a code review. Get a creative idea from Grok, then have Gemini expand on it. The conversation flows naturally across models.

Why Would You Switch Models?

Different AI models have different strengths:

• GPT-5 — Excellent at following complex instructions, coding, and general tasks
• Claude Opus — Superior at nuanced writing, analysis, and thoughtful responses
• Gemini Pro — Great with multimodal tasks and Google ecosystem integration
• Grok — Has access to real-time X/Twitter data and current events
• DeepSeek — Particularly strong at coding and technical tasks

Rather than guessing which model is best for your question, you can try multiple and compare their answers.

How Model Switching Works

Step 1: Start a Conversation

Begin chatting with any model. Ask your question, get a response.

Step 2: Switch Models

Click the model selector at the top of the chat. Choose a different model from the list.

Step 3: Continue the Conversation

The new model sees your entire conversation history. Ask a follow-up question or request a different perspective on the same topic.

Real-World Examples

Code Review Workflow

1. GPT: "Write a Python function to parse JSON from an API response"
2. GPT writes the code
3. Switch to Claude
4. Claude: "Review this code for potential issues"
5. Claude identifies edge cases GPT missed
6. Switch to DeepSeek
7. DeepSeek: "Optimize this for performance"

Writing Workflow

1. Grok: "What are the latest trends in sustainable fashion?"
2. Grok provides current information from X
3. Switch to Claude
4. Claude: "Write a blog post outline based on these trends"
5. Claude creates a structured outline
6. Switch to GPT
7. GPT: "Write the introduction paragraph"

Research Workflow

1. Gemini: "Explain quantum computing basics"
2. Gemini provides explanation
3. Switch to Claude
4. Claude: "What did the previous explanation get wrong or oversimplify?"
5. Claude provides critical analysis

Tips for Effective Model Switching

Use Models for Their Strengths

Don't switch randomly. Switch strategically:

• Need creativity? Try Grok or Claude
• Need precision? Try GPT or DeepSeek
• Need analysis? Claude excels here
• Need current info? Grok has real-time data

Ask for Critiques

One powerful pattern: ask Model B to critique Model A's response. You'll often get insights neither would provide alone.

Compare Approaches

Ask the same coding question to GPT and DeepSeek. Compare their solutions. Often one will have a more elegant approach.

Models Available in Go Ask Chat

You can switch between any of these models:

Flagship Models:

• GPT-5.2 (OpenAI's latest)
• Claude Opus 4.5 (Anthropic's flagship)
• Gemini 3 Pro (Google's multimodal model)
• Grok-4.1 (xAI's real-time model)

Fast Models:

• GPT-5 Mini
• GPT-5 Nano
• Claude Haiku
• Gemini Flash

Specialized Models:

• DeepSeek (coding)
• And many more...

No Extra Cost

Switching models doesn't cost extra. Your Pro subscription ($8/month) covers all models. Use GPT for one message, Claude for the next — it all comes from your 3,000 monthly messages.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the new model see the old model's responses?

Yes. When you switch models, the new model receives the complete conversation history, including all previous responses from other models.

Can I switch back to a previous model?

Absolutely. Switch as many times as you want within a single conversation.

Do different models cost different amounts?

No. All models are included in your subscription. One message is one message, regardless of which model you use.
