# Overview

Models that support tool calls can extend their capabilities beyond just chatting. Tools will appear as separate messages in the chat window, displaying a preloader while the tool is being executed and an orange checkmark when the execution is complete.

## Using the Tools

There is no need to explicitly specify which tool the model should use. The model will attempt to infer the appropriate tool based on the context of the conversation and the content of your prompt.
