# MyCatalyst: Settings

## The MyCatalyst Settings area allows administrators to manage the AI Chat tool settings.

Site Administrators can access the MyCatalyst settings area via the ‘**Site Administration'** side menu.

### General

See the settings available under the General tab below.

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-56-50-4428-AM.png?width=670&height=88&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-56-50-4428-AM.png)

### Open AI API Key

The OpenAI API Key section allows administrators to add the OpenAI API key required to use the chat service.

**🔔Note:** Once entered, the API is not retrievable.

To obtain your OpenAI key, you will need to follow the steps below:

1. Create an OpenAI account:

- Head to the OpenAI website found [here](https://openai.com/).
- Sign up for an account using an email.

1. Verify Email Address
2. Log in and Access the API Dashboard.
3. Create a New API Key

- Via the dashboard, click on “Personal” or the account username in the top right corner and select ‘API Keys’ from the dropdown menu.
- Click on ‘Create new secret key’ to generate a new API key.

### Language Model Configuration

The Temperature slider controls the creativity of the chat output. Either more precise or more creative.

A lower temperature setting would be used for tasks that require factual or highly reliable information, such as answering a technical question or generating formal text.

A higher temperature can be used when creative writing or brainstorming is acceptable when searching.

A higher temperature would be recommended if you want the AI to present more variety in the search output.

 

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-01-2024-02-52-24-2320-PM.png?width=670&height=119&name=image-png-Oct-01-2024-02-52-24-2320-PM.png)

### Language Model

OpenAI uses various language models, each with varying costs.

See the OpenAI language model pricing for details [here](https://openai.com/api/pricing/). 

Administrators can use the drop-down menu to change which model the MyCatalyst tool is using. Customers incur the costs.

 

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-01-2024-02-53-33-3037-PM.png?width=670&height=55&name=image-png-Oct-01-2024-02-53-33-3037-PM.png)

See a brief overview of each language model below:

**GPT-4o**: Strikes a balance between performance, cost, and usability, making it a versatile choice for businesses and developers looking to implement AI solutions.

**GPT-4o mini**: GPT-4o Mini combines efficiency, speed, and versatility, making it an excellent choice for lightweight applications requiring AI capabilities.

**GPT-4**: Multimodal (text + image) inputs, enhanced accuracy, better reasoning, and multilingual support.

**GPT-3.5**: GPT-3.5 Turbo balances speed, quality, and cost for various AI-driven tasks.

### Prompt Engineering

See the settings available under the prompt engineering tab below.

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-56-09-2063-AM.png?width=670&height=90&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-56-09-2063-AM.png)

### Extend & customise the default prompt

MyCatalyst handles default prompt engineering in the background.

However, you may wish to extend and customise the default prompt, for example, to return responses in a particular style.

"Use custom expressions to enhance the prompt, such as:

"Don't mention the name, title or source of the document in response to the user."

"Only use information contained in the following pieces of retrieved context to answer the question - do not use your knowledge or any other source such as the internet."

"If you need to refer to the retrieved context in your response, refer to it as "our research".

**🔔 Note:** A maximum of 2000 characters can be used for the default prompt field. 

### **Relevance**

This slider sets the relevance of the content used in the returned responses.

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-45-49-8308-AM.png?width=670&height=96&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-45-49-8308-AM.png)

 

### Rerank Algorithm

The rerank algorithm dropdown sets the age of content that should be used in the returned responses. See the dropdown options below.

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-59-02-9077-AM.png?width=670&height=137&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-59-02-9077-AM.png)

#### **None**

The most relevant content is used regardless of content age.

#### **Half-life**

More recent content is preferred. Only documents with a relevance score above min relevance are considered. The relevance score is then reduced over time, with the half-life being the number of days taken for the score to be reduced by half.

#### **Content Similarity** 

Older content that is superseded by more recent, relevant content is not used. Only documents with a relevance score above min relevance are considered. The older document is not used if the similarity between any two documents is greater than the maximum similarity.

### Disclaimer management 

See the settings available under the Disclaimer Management tab below.

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-57-37-4667-AM.png?width=670&height=90&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-10-57-37-4667-AM.png)

### Response Inline disclaimer 

Administrators can set a **required** inline disclaimer after each response is generated.

A small note that reminds users to verify the information can also be included here. 

When a user copies any part of the AI's response, the same disclaimer note will be automatically appended to the copied content. 

**🔔Note**: The inline disclaimer will not be displayed if this field is left empty. 

### Disclaimer reference link

Set an optional '**Full terms**' link that will be applied across multiple components, including inline disclaimers, initial disclaimer dialogs, reminder disclaimer alerts, and any AI response content copied to the clipboard. 

A link can also be set to the original reference page using the toggle below. 

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-18-16-6103-AM.png?width=670&height=113&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-18-16-6103-AM.png)

### Initial disclaimer dialog

Users can be prompted to accept the disclaimer when first using the tool if the initial disclaimer is set using the toggle below. 

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-20-01-6674-AM.png?width=670&height=88&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-20-01-6674-AM.png)

Once the 'Enable initial disclaimer' toggle is switched on, A Dialog modal title and Dialog modal content will be available. See below.

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-55-39-6752-AM.png?width=670&height=138&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-55-39-6752-AM.png)

Once the disclaimer settings have been set, the disclaimer will appear for users, as shown below. 

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Nov-01-2024-09-46-44-3856-AM.png?width=670&height=302&name=image-png-Nov-01-2024-09-46-44-3856-AM.png)

**🔔Note**: If the initial disclaimer is set, users who do not accept will be unable to use the chat tool.

#### **Re-Prompt Users**

Once the initial disclaimer content has been saved and changes have been made, a further **Re-Prompt Users** option will be available.

This allows administrators to Notify all users about changes to the Terms and & Conditions. The last prompted date will also be visible under this option.

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-12-05-17-5261-PM.png?width=670&height=129&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-12-05-17-5261-PM.png)

### Disclaimer acceptance logs

Administrators can export a CSV format list showing the users that have accepted the initial disclaimer and when. 

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-26-45-0753-AM.png?width=670&height=179&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-26-45-0753-AM.png)

#### Exported Data

The exported CSV displays the following data: 

**username: **The user's username.

**disclaimer: **The text of the disclaimer which has been accepted by the user. 

**URL: **The URL of the disclaimer reference page if this has been enabled. See the **Disclaimer Reference Link** above. 

**accepted: **The date that the user accepted this disclaimer text. 

See an example data export below

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-01-31-59-8144-PM.png?width=670&height=182&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-01-31-59-8144-PM.png)

**Note**: The Export download shows only the most recently accepted disclaimers. 

Remember to save any changes made in the settings via the ‘Save’ Icon at the top of the page.

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-29-26-0908-AM.png?width=670&height=92&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-29-26-0908-AM.png)

 

Administrators who switch to another settings tab will be prompted to Save or Leave & Discard the changes. 

![](https://guide.contentcatalyst.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-28-52-3329-AM.png?width=427&height=209&name=image-png-Oct-31-2024-11-28-52-3329-AM.png)
