[Bug]: Direct agent chat takes 8+ minutes to answer simple creative prompts

What happened?

Direct chat with a Multica agent is taking 8+ minutes to respond to basic prompts.

Example prompt:
“Give me ten ideas for an image for our social media initiative."

This seems much slower than expected for a normal text-only creative response. The task may eventually complete, but the user experience feels stuck or unresponsive.

I am on the lowest ChatGPT tier plan, so I’m not sure whether that affects Multica agent runtime/model speed, but it would be helpful to clarify whether plan tier impacts response latency.

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a Multica workspace.

2. Start a direct chat with an agent.

3. Send a simple text-only creative prompt, such as:
   “Give me ten ideas for an image for social media.”

4. Wait for the response.

5. Observe that the agent may take 8+ minutes to produce a basic response.

I just tested the same prompt with Claude & the response took 17 seconds.
