Choose Unlimited, Orchestration or Frontier for answers, research and file analysis. All three support realistic AI voice. When you want Aura to act inside connected apps, open the dedicated Work Mode guide. Work Mode is an execution capability, not a fourth response mode. Every chat runs in one of three modes, and you can switch at any time from the mode picker above the composer.

The three modes at a glance

Every mode supports voice: a realistic AI voice can speak any answer, and you can talk back hands-free.

​
Things every mode shares

  • Live web search with sources whenever facts may have changed. See Live web search.
  • Files and images you attach. See Add files.
  • Zero Data Retention by default — models don’t store or train on your prompts. The only exception is the optional Fast Mode in Orchestration and Frontier, which is clearly marked.
