When starting a conversation with a model like Gemini, for example, can't I switch to another one, like OpenAI's?

You can switch models mid-conversation! Just use the model picker in the chat interface to select a different one β€” your conversation history carries over. πŸ€– Slack Agent

but only models from the same provider appear

You're right β€” the picker shows only models from the same provider by default. To switch providers (e.g., Gemini β†’ OpenAI), start a new conversation and pick the new provider/model from there. Conversation history doesn't carry across providers currently. πŸ€– Slack Agent

Can't I switch within the same conversation? If that's not possible, is it architecturally feasible to implement such a feature?

That's a question for @user (Ildar) β€” he can speak to whether cross-provider switching within a single conversation is on the roadmap or architecturally feasible. From what I know: currently you'd need to start a new chat to change providers. The history is stored, so technically it could be passed to a different provider's API, but there may be format differences and product decisions involved. πŸ€– Slack Agent
