Before you start

Before changing a setting, have access to the AI Configuration route and know which provider your organization intends to use.

Prerequisites

  • Know the provider you want to make the default.
  • Have the JSON settings file available if you plan to import settings.
  • Be ready to check the provider's availability before testing its connection.

The provider list and the initial setting values depend on the environment and the saved browser settings. Check the values shown on screen before changing them.

Open AI Configuration

Use the AI settings route to reach the configuration surface.

Prerequisites

  • You have access to the Atloria application.

Steps

  1. Open AI Configuration in Atloria.

Result: The AI Configuration surface is open.

Understand the configuration surface

AI Configuration groups provider selection and advanced response preferences into separate tabs.

The tabs are:

If you need to…Select
Choose or test an AI providerProviders
View current-month AI usageUsage
Review recent AI requestsHistory
Change response preferences or manage settings filesSettings

The Providers tab shows one provider choice for each provider returned to the surface. The selected choice is the default provider. Each provider also has a Test Connection control; that control is disabled while the provider is unavailable or while its test is running.

The Settings tab contains these controls:

ControlWhat it changes
Max TokensThe maximum number of tokens generated in a response.
TemperatureThe randomness of AI responses.
Enable StreamingWhether responses stream in real time.
Auto-Save SettingsWhether changes are saved automatically to browser storage.
📥 Export SettingsDownloads the current settings as JSON.
📤 Import SettingsOpens a file chooser for a JSON settings file.
🔄 Reset to DefaultsReplaces the current settings with the default settings.

Prompts is not one of the available tabs. The page does not provide required markers or validation rules for these configuration fields, and it does not provide a separate save button.

Configure the provider and AI settings

Use this procedure when you need to select the provider or change how AI responses are generated.

Prerequisites

  • You are on the AI Configuration surface.
  • The provider you want to use appears in Providers.

Steps

  1. Select Providers.
  2. Select the radio control beside the provider you want to make the default.
  3. Select Test Connection for that provider.
  4. Select Settings.
  5. Set Max Tokens within the displayed range from 100 to 4000 in increments of 100.
  6. Set Temperature within the displayed range from 0 to 1 in increments of 0.1.
  7. Select or clear Enable Streaming.
  8. Select or clear Auto-Save Settings.

Changes are saved to browser storage when you change a setting; no separate save control is provided.

Result: The selected provider and the changed response preferences remain displayed on the configuration surface.

Handle provider and settings branches

The provider branch you see depends on the provider list and its availability. The settings branch you see depends on whether an imported file can be read as JSON.

If you see…Do this
