# Settings

> Set your assistant's role, phone number, AI model, response temperature, who speaks first, and how easily callers can interrupt.

The **Settings** tab decides where your assistant is deployed and how it thinks.

![Settings tab](https://mintcdn.com/oratoinc/4kqJqYTkP_RSjHT3/images/app/assistant-settings.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=4kqJqYTkP_RSjHT3\&q=85\&s=f7e198e46163d14d68cf93ca9b3f0faa)

## Role

| Role | Description |
| - | - |
| **Outbound** (Call my leads) | Dials your contact list and qualifies leads |
| **Inbound** (Answer incoming calls) | Picks up calls from customers automatically |
| **Web Widget** (Embed on my website) | Visitors start a voice call or chat from your site. Currently in beta. |

The field below the role changes with your choice:

* **Outbound caller ID**: the number your outbound calls come from.
* **Inbound phone number**: the number this assistant answers.
* **Web Widget**: no number needed. A **Branding** tab appears instead. See [Branding](/assistants/branding).

> [!NOTE]
>
> A number is needed before you run campaigns or receive inbound calls. You can test in the browser without one. Buy numbers on the [Phone numbers](/phone-numbers) page.

## AI Brain

The language model that thinks and talks for your assistant.

| Provider | Models |
| - | - |
| **Anthropic** | Claude Haiku 4.5 (default), Claude Sonnet 4.6, Claude Opus 4.7 |
| **Groq** | GPT-OSS 120B |
| **OpenAI** | GPT-4o, GPT-4.1, GPT-4o Mini (marked Premium) |
| **Sarvam AI** | Sarvam 105B |
| **Google** | Gemini 2.5 Flash-Lite, Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 3.5 Flash-Lite, Gemini 3.5 Flash |

See [Providers](/providers) for guidance on choosing.

### Response temperature

A slider from **Focused** to **Creative**. The default is **0.7**.

* Lower values make answers more consistent and predictable. Good for scripted flows, compliance-heavy calls, and surveys.
* Higher values make answers more varied. Good for open, friendly sales conversations.

## How sessions start

### Who speaks first?

| Option | When to use |
| - | - |
| **Agent speaks first** | Outbound calls, where the assistant should open with the first message |
| **Agent waits for user** | Inbound calls and the website widget, so the agent doesn't talk over a visitor who greets at the same time |

### Interruption sensitivity

| Option | Behavior |
| - | - |
| **Sensitive** | Easiest to interrupt |
| **Default** | Ignores very short sounds |
| **Strict** | Only real words stop the agent. Use it for noisy environments. |
