OpenAI Integration in Detail (Key, Model, System Prompt, Temperature)

1. OpenAI Integration Tab #

Located at:

• Davix AI Engine → Chatbot → OpenAI Integration

This tab handles:

• openai_api_key
• openai_model
• system_prompt
• temperature
• Site search toggles (covered in next article).

2. OpenAI API Key #

Option: openai_api_key

• Used by:
  • Chatbot.
  • Potentially other AI features (or they use dedicated keys or fallback to this one, as described in Forms/Auto-Reply sections).

Step-by-step:

1. Obtain an API key from OpenAI (not described further in docs; only that you must provide one).
2. Paste it into the OpenAI API Key field.
3. Save changes.
4. Use the chatbot to confirm you receive responses (otherwise check logs).

3. Model Selection #

Option: openai_model

• Free:
  • Fixed to gpt-4o-mini.
• Pro:
  • UI lets you select other chat-capable models.

Step-by-step:

1. In Free:
   • Verify gpt-4o-mini is shown (non-editable or fixed).
2. In Pro:
   • Use the dropdown to choose the desired model.
3. Save.
4. Chat again to confirm responses come from the selected model.

4. System Prompt #

Option: system_prompt

• Serves as the base instruction for the AI in chatbot interactions.
• It is referenced in the docs as part of OpenAI configuration; the exact content is user-defined.

Step-by-step:

1. Enter a clear system prompt that describes:
   • The role of the assistant.
   • Its behavior and tone on your site.
2. Save.
3. Chat with the bot and verify its behavior matches the instructions.

5. Temperature #

Option: temperature

• Controls randomness/creativity of the AI.
• The docs mention temperature usage in multiple modules (e.g. forms default 0.6, comment/review default 0.5 for their own settings).

Step-by-step:

1. In OpenAI Integration, set a temperature value.
2. Lower values (e.g., ~0.2–0.5) will be more focused and deterministic.
3. Higher values (e.g., ~0.7–1.0) will be more varied.
4. Save and adjust if you find answers too repetitive or too random.

6. Relationship to Other Modules #

Your documentation indicates other modules have their own OpenAI settings:

• Forms module:
  • forms_openai_api_key, forms_openai_model, forms_temperature, forms_max_tokens, forms_system_prompt.
• Auto-Reply:
  • comment_autoreply_model, comment_autoreply_temperature, etc.
• AI Writer:
  • davix_aiwriter_settings for model, temperature, tokens.

Those modules are described in their categories, but they follow the same principle: OpenAI key + model + system prompt + temperature.
