## Basic Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
| - | - |
| Model | The LLM model used to complete the AI task. |
| System Instructions | Define guidelines for system behavior, user interactions, and constraints. You can include sections such as: \* `Role` \* `Instructions` \* `Rules` \* `Examples` For example: <pre>`You are an AI assistant designed to help users by providing accurate, relevant, and helpful responses. Maintain a neutral and professional tone, be concise yet informative, and always strive to be clear and understandable.`</pre> |
| User Prompt | The message containing your prompt request, which the LLM model will interpret to generate a response. |

## Advanced Parameters

| Parameter | Description |
| - | - |
| Files | A comma-separated list of files that were uploaded to Gemini to include in the prompt. Can be obtained using the `List Files` action. **Note:** Use the `name` attribute of the file. For example: `files/579br3yo5xga, files/579br3yo5xge` |
| Maximum Tokens | The maximum number of tokens needed to generate a response.  Set the token limit based on your needs: 1. **Short & Concise Answers (256–1,000 tokens)** - Ideal for brief responses, summaries, or direct answers. 2. **Detailed & Elaborate Responses (1,000–8,000 tokens)** - Best for in-depth explanations, multi-step reasoning, or complex insights. 3. **Data Processing & Transformations (2,000–10,000+ tokens)** - Use higher limits for handling structured data (e.g., JSON, CSV) or processing large text inputs. **Note**: For optimal performance, start with a lower limit and increase as needed. If not provided, the selected model default value is used. |
| Temperature | The randomness of the output. Lower values produce more focused and deterministic outputs, while higher values increase creativity and variation. Valid values range between `0.0` and `2.0`. **Note**: If not provided, the selected model default value is used. |
