## Configure an assistant [#configure-an-assistant]

1. **Name** — internal label, visible only to your team.
2. **Language** — primary response language; the AI still reads incoming messages in any language.
3. **Voice** — phone calls only. ElevenLabs voices need an [ElevenLabs integration](/docs/voice/providers#elevenlabs-premium-voices).
4. **LLM model** — OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini / Groq. Defaults to GPT-4o Mini; switch to GPT-4o or Claude Sonnet 4.5 for harder tasks.
5. **First message** + **Prompt** — the opening greeting, then system instructions for role, tone, and rules. Be specific, set boundaries, and tell it to hand off to humans via `turnOffAiMode` when needed.
