Market / Region#

Optimizes AI responses, intent detection, and templates:

  • Philippines (Filipino/Taglish)
  • US (English)
  • Global (Multilingual)

Timezone#

Used for scheduling, calendar bookings, and time displays. Defaults to Asia/Manila.

Currency#

Database-driven currency selection (PHP, USD, etc.) used for pricing displays, analytics, and CRM reporting.

Temperature (Response Creativity)#

Controls creativity vs consistency:

  • Automatic Optimization (default): Creativity auto-adjusted by conversation type
  • Custom: Manual slider from 0.0 to 0.7
    • 0.0-0.3: Consistent, factual
    • 0.4-0.6: Balanced
    • 0.7: Maximum creativity (capped)

Lower is better for customer support. Intent-based adjustments still apply even with custom settings.

Communication Style#

  • Conversation Style: Tone, formality, personalization
  • Language Style: Preset patterns, adaptation level
  • Both can be detected automatically from training data

Customer Image Analysis#

Toggle to analyze customer-uploaded images (+1 credit per upload analyzed).
