Agent Settings

The Settings tab lets you fine-tune how your chatbot behaves, what language it uses, and how creative its responses are.

AI Model

Chatref uses frontier AI models to power your chatbot’s responses. These are among the most advanced AI models available, designed to understand natural language and provide helpful, accurate answers based on your training data. You can select which model your agent uses from the Model dropdown in Settings. Different models may vary in speed and response quality.
You don’t need to understand how AI models work to use Chatref. The default model works great for most use cases.

Temperature

The Temperature setting controls how creative or focused your chatbot’s responses are. It’s a slider from 0 to 1.
SettingValueBest For
Low (0 - 0.3)More focused and consistentFactual answers, technical support, precise information
Medium (0.4 - 0.7)BalancedGeneral customer support, product questions
High (0.8 - 1.0)More creative and variedCreative writing, brainstorming, casual conversation
The default value is 0.7, which works well for most chatbots. If your chatbot needs to give very precise, consistent answers (like pricing or technical specs), try lowering the temperature.
Use the Playground to test different temperature values and see how they affect your chatbot’s responses before going live.

Response Length

The Max Tokens setting controls how long your chatbot’s responses can be. A higher value allows longer, more detailed answers. The default is 2000, which allows for comprehensive responses while keeping them readable.
  • Lower the value if you want shorter, more concise answers
  • Raise it if your chatbot needs to provide detailed explanations

Language

Chatref supports 11 languages for the chat widget interface. When you select a language, the widget’s built-in text (buttons, placeholders, etc.) appears in that language. Supported languages:

The language setting affects the widget interface text. Your chatbot’s AI responses will naturally adapt to the language your visitors use in their messages.

Agent Description

Add a description to help you remember what each agent is for. This is only visible to you in the dashboard — visitors won’t see it.

Avatar

Upload a custom avatar image for your agent. This appears in the chat widget next to your chatbot’s messages, giving it a more personal feel.
