Switching Between Models
One of the key benefits of PolyLogue is the ability to switch models during a conversation:
1. Start with one model (e.g., GPT-4 for initial brainstorming)
2. Switch to another model for different perspectives (e.g., Claude for more detailed analysis)
3. Your conversation context is preserved when switching
This allows you to leverage the strengths of different models for different stages of your work.
