Step 3: Configure the Module

1. Go to Content > Site Modules and open the newly installed module.
2. Insert API Key:
   • Create an API key under platform.openai.com/api-keys (if not already done).
   • Copy the key and paste it into the module.
3. Set the Module Position:

Step 5: Text Options

• Set the initial message as well as messages to be shown before and after the last input. For example:
  • “If you have further questions, feel free to contact us via our contact form.”

Step 6: Personalization

1. OpenAI API Endpoint: No changes needed here.
2. Model Instructions:
   • In the Initial Model Instruction field, add instructions for how the assistant should respond. Example:
     • "You are a helpful assistant for an online educational platform. Assist users in course selection and provide study tips. Respond professionally, educationally, and supportively."
3. Additional Options:
   • Include Model in Request: Do you want your instructions to be considered in every request?
   • Chat Model: Choose the language model to be used. This affects both quality and price/token. See OpenAI API Pricing for more information.
   • Max Tokens: Limit the length of the responses (recommended: 100-300).
   • Temperature: Adjust creativity (0 for precise answers, 1 for more creative responses, with 0.1-step increments).
   • User/Assistant Response Format: Should a name be prefixed to the text (e.g., “ChatBot: %s”)?
   • Limit Reach Instruction: Add a closing message once the limit is reached.

Step 7: Test and Optimize

• Testing: Open the front-end and test the module.
  • Ask general and specific questions to ensure the answers meet your expectations.
  • Adjust the instructions in the backend as needed until the results are perfect.
