Auto Mode Only Is Disrupting Professional System Design

Hello Base44 Team,

I would like to express a serious concern regarding a recent change on the platform that has directly impacted the way we work.

The ability to manually select the AI model was not a minor feature; it was a fundamental part of how our systems were designed. Each model behaves differently and excels at different tasks. Choosing the appropriate model was essential to maintaining stable, coherent workflows.

By removing this option and enforcing auto mode only, user control has been reduced and inconsistent behavior has been introduced into systems that were already defined and operating. This affects reliability and breaks architectures that depended on intentional design decisions rather than automatic selection.

Automation can be useful, but it cannot be the only path. In complex systems, the builder’s logic and intent cannot be replaced by an automated decision made by the platform.

This change represents a step backward for those of us using Base44 to build serious, structured solutions. We want to continue working on the platform, but we need tools that respect user control and system stability.

We respectfully ask the team to reconsider this decision and restore the ability to manually select models, keeping auto mode as an option rather than a requirement.

Thank you for listening.
