Exposing the massive power of DAG pipelines immediately degrades trust.

The Brainstorm Reactor encompasses 315+ unique strategic methods and combinatorial orchestration paths. Thrusting a new operator directly into the full multi-agent Recipe Builder triggers acute paralysis. Onboarding is structured via three core interaction modes.

The Lean 2-Step Setup Modal

When entering the Brainstorm Reactor for the first time, operators encounter a lightweight 2-step configuration modal designed to establish default performance parameters without cognitive fatigue:

1. Step 1: Cognitive Depth & Latency (ModellRouter I):

   • Cost Display Toggle: Switch transparently between single-step inference (Direct) and multi-step execution (Workflows (Ø)).
   • Speed (1 Credit direct / ~4 Credits workflow): Minimal latency and unthrottled streaming flow for note-taking and rapid ideation (powered by Gemini Flash Lite).
   • Balanced (2 Credits direct / ~8 Credits workflow · Recommended): The sweet spot for general conceptual work and research (powered by Gemini 3.8 Flash and GPT Luna).
   • Deep (25 Credits direct / ~35 Credits workflow): Maximum analytical penetration for business plans, contradiction analysis, and complex strategy (powered by GPT Sol and Terra). Features Smart Modell-Mix in workflows: intermediate exploration runs on streamlined engines, reserving the flagship engine strictly for final synthesis, saving up to 70% in compute credits.

2. Step 2: Workspace Layout:

   • Focus (Zen Mode): Minimalist single-window interface without sidebars for distraction-free drafting.
   • Studio (Workflows & Recipes · Recommended): Full utility suite featuring method palettes, multi-slot orchestrators, and synthesis workspaces.

Operators can toggle between Zen Mode and Studio Mode with a single click in the header at any time, or re-open the 2-step onboarding sequence directly from the Settings sheet.
