Assistant Advanced Settings

The Advanced section lets you choose the AI Model the Assistant uses to generate responses. Pick from the models your administrator configures in Settings → Models; if you leave it unset, the Assistant uses the default for its tier.

Different models trade off speed, cost, and capability. The Models page groups them into tiers (Everyday, Advanced, Strategic), so you can pick a model that matches how much reasoning the Assistant needs.

Changed in 2026.1

Before 2026.1, the Advanced section offered several more fields, because AI ran on a single OpenAI account rather than Informer's model catalog:

  • OpenAI Token: a custom OpenAI key for this Assistant, usually for usage tracking.
  • GPT Model: a choice between specific OpenAI models (for example gpt-4-turbo-preview, gpt-4o, gpt-3.5-turbo).
  • Temperature: the randomness of the output, from 0 (deterministic) to 2 (more creative).
  • Seed: a number that fixes the starting point so the same input produces the same response.
  • Response Format: text or JSON output.

In 2026.1, model selection moved to the unified Settings → Models catalog, and these per-Assistant fields were replaced by the single AI Model chooser above.

Also available through the REST API
Everything on this page is built on Informer's public REST API, the same one the product uses, so your scripts and integrations can do it too. Developer reference: Assistant API.
