# Reasoning capacities

Adding Reasoning to Your Agent

To enhance your agent with advanced reasoning capabilities for complex tasks, you can enable the Reasoning feature during the agent creation process or when editing an existing agent.

**During agent creation:**

* In the Tools section (located in the Knowledge & Tools page), you'll find the Reasoning option with a brain icon.
* Check the "Reasoning" checkbox to give your agents the ability to have a higher reasoning model for complex tasks.
* This feature automatically switches your agent's model to o4 Mini with high reasoning capabilities.

**When editing an existing agent:**

* Click the three dots on your agent's card and select "Edit Agent"
* Navigate to the Tools section
* Toggle the Reasoning option on or off as needed

**Important Note:** When Reasoning is enabled, you'll see a notification that the model has been switched to o4 Mini with high reasoning. Keep in mind that answers might take longer to generate due to the enhanced reasoning process, but you'll get more thoughtful and comprehensive responses for complex problem-solving tasks.
