# Bot settings

## Bot details

In **Bot betails** you see:

* The **Name** of your of bot.
* The **Primary** and **Extra languages**. 
* The **Bot access** configuration, where you can change the number of people who have access to your bot. 

{% hint style="success" %}
Explore the offered possibilities for [role-based access control and identity management](/support/access-control.md) in our platform.
{% endhint %}

## Generative AI

Under Generative AI, you can turn on the generative AI features for your bot by using the toggle.&#x20;

These features are:

* [Expression generation](/navigation/natural-language-processing-nlp/expressions.md#generate-expressions) for your NLP.
* [Knowledge base AI](/navigation/knowledge-base-ai.md).
* [AI intent booster](/nlp/natural-language-processing-nlp/ai-intent-booster.md) for small bots with a limited number of intents.

## Bot status

Click the status slider to temporarily disable the bot. The message configured under the **Bot disabled** block will be shown.&#x20;

## Maximum message length

To avoid that messages that are too long are not understood, an authorized **Maximum message length** send by customers can be configured.&#x20;

To set up a Maximum message length:

1. Toggle on the feature toggle.
2. Define a maximum number of characters.
3. Define a block where the bot will **Go to** when a user sends a message above that number of characters.
4. Click **Save** at the top right corner of the screen.

{% hint style="info" %}
A nice fallback message in this case could be text like: *I am sorry, I work best with shorter messages. Could you please rephrase that?*&#x20;
{% endhint %}

## Bot behaviour

The typing speed, or typing duration, is how fast the bot answers to the user. The higher the typing speed, the longer the user will see that the bot is typing before they receive an answer. The right typing speed can create a positive, more humanlike experience for the user.&#x20;

The default typing speed is 1500ms, but try out different speeds to see what is best for your bot.

## Language detection

You can use **Language detection** option to check if the user's language is supported by your bot.&#x20;

* If the user's language is supported, the user will be routed to the **Introduction** block.
* If the language is not supported by the bot, the user will be routed to a block of your choosing.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Language detection will only appear in your Settings if your bot is [multilingual](/nlp/languages/multilanguage-bots.md).
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Whenever the user types an expression in a language other than the [`preferredLanguage`](/nlp/languages/change-language-within-the-conversation.md) activated, the bot will not automatically switch to that language. If the expression is in a language that the bot knows, the expression will be processed and the bot will answer in the original `preferredLanguage`.
{% endhint %}

## Danger zone (delete your bot)

This is where you can delete your bot.
