# General settings

> Manage the assistant's general settings — name, activation status, default language, and security.

The general settings cover your assistant's core identity and the options that don't have a dedicated page. Go to **Assistants** in the [homie platform](https://app.yourhomie.ai), select your assistant, and open **Settings → General**.

## Name

Give the assistant a clear internal name so you can recognize it across the platform.

## Activation

Switch the assistant **Active** to serve it on your store, or **Inactive** to take it offline without deleting it.

## Default language

Pick the language the assistant uses when it cannot detect the visitor's language. This also seeds your translatable interface strings.

## Product link parameters

Under **Product link parameters**, the **Query parameters** field holds a query string the assistant appends to every product link — both on the product cards and on product links inside the answer text. Use it to recognise in your analytics tool which store visits come from the assistant.

Enter the parameters without a leading question mark, for example:

```
utm_source=chatbot&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=advice
```

<Note>
  The `variant` parameter is reserved because the assistant uses it to link the selected product variant. Names must also not contain a dot or start with `$`. In the Playground and in previews the parameters are not appended, so you always see clean links there.
</Note>

## Security

Under **Security**, choose whether to keep the assistant **private** (available only in the Playground) or **protect it with a login** so only signed-in users can access it.

## Options

The **Options** card holds additional toggles, such as showing the feedback feature, enabling voice input, enabling streaming mode, hiding price display, generating reply suggestions, and disabling branding.

<Info>
  Reply suggestions are the clickable follow-up questions the assistant offers after its responses. Turn off **Generate reply suggestions** if you'd rather shoppers type their own questions.

<Note>
  Conversion tracking is also configured here for non-Shopify stores. See [Conversion tracking](/en/user-guide/assistants/conversion-tracking) for the full setup.
