AI Configuration Settings for Chatbot
Customize how your chatbot behaves, responds, and understands customers
The AI Config section allows store owners to customize how the chatbot behaves, responds, and understands customer queries. This is a powerful tool to make your chatbot more accurate, helpful, and aligned with your brand's communication style.
This setting lets you choose the AI model that powers your chatbot's responses.
Example models available:
This setting controls how creative or strict the chatbot's responses are:
- Lower temperature (e.g., 0.1) - More focused and accurate answers.
- Higher temperature (e.g., 0.7) - More creative and varied responses.
Recommended setting: 0.7 for balanced and friendly replies.
You can decide how much past conversation the chatbot should remember while responding.
