# Settings
## Bot Details
In Bot Details you'll be able to see the name of your of bot as well as the primary and secondary languages you've added. Through Bot Details you can also change the amount of people who have access to the configuration of you bot through 'Bot Access'. To learn more about Bot Access click [here](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/organization-management/access-control).
## Bot Status
Click the status slider to temporarily disable the bot. The message configured under the `bot disabled` bot dialog will be shown. Read more about the `bot disabled` bot dialog [here](https://docs.chatlayer.ai/bot-answers/dialog-state#bot-disabled).
## Maximum message length
Chatbots work best with short and concise messages. To avoid that messages that are too long are not understood, a maximum message length can be configured. Whenever a message is > the characters stated in these settings, the bot will automatically go to a bot dialog of your choice. A bot message with text like: 'I am sorry, I work best with shorter messages. Could you please rephrase that?' is recommended for a good user experience.
## 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. The default typing speed is 1500ms, but try out different speeds to see what is best for your bot.
## Language detection
This setting allows you to enable the language detection flow when a user's locale isn't automatically detected or supported. Read more about this feature [here](/~/changes/zWOY8fNiBBrqneKkuGvA/understanding-users/multilanguage-bots.md#language-detection-flow).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://docs.chatlayer.ai/~/changes/zWOY8fNiBBrqneKkuGvA/bot-answers/settings.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
