# General settings

> Configure your agent's name, type, model, and display settings.

The **General** tab is where you set the basic identity and visibility of your agent. You'll find it as the first tab when you open any agent's settings.

## Agent details

| Field                 | Description                                                                                                                                                           |
| --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Name**              | The display name shown in the agent list and at the top of the chat. Make it descriptive — e.g. *"Paid Search Analyst"* or *"Weekly Budget Report"*.                  |
| **Slug**              | A URL-friendly identifier used in the agent's web address. Lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens only. Set once and avoid changing it, as it forms part of the URL. |
| **Short description** | A one-line summary shown below the agent name in the agent list. It's also passed to the orchestrator to help it understand the agent's purpose.                      |
| **Active**            | When unchecked, the agent is hidden from all users and cannot be accessed via chat or jobs. Use this to take an agent offline without deleting it.                    |

## Agent type

Interact supports two agent architectures. Choose the one that fits your use case when creating the agent.

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Data Analysis Agent" icon="chart-line">
    The recommended type for most users. The orchestrator handles the full workflow — querying data, analysing results, generating charts and reports — with a single, streamlined setup.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Multi-Agent Swarm" icon="users">
    A more flexible architecture where the orchestrator delegates to separate, independently configured subagents. More powerful for complex setups, but requires more configuration.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  The agent type affects which subagents and tools are available in the **Agent Builder** tab. It cannot be changed after the agent has been used in production without reconfiguring the subagents.
</Note>

## Model

The **Model** dropdown sets the default AI model used across your agent. All agents in your organisation that don't have a model override will use this setting — or fall back to the organisation-level default if left blank.

You can also override the model per-agent-component (orchestrator, subagents) in the **Agent Builder** tab. This lets you use a fast, cost-effective model for SQL generation and a more capable model for analysis and report writing.

See [Agent Builder → Model overrides](/agents/settings/agent-builder#model-overrides) for details.

## Display settings

These settings control how the agent appears in the navigation menu.

| Field                       | Description                                                                                                                                                     |
| --------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Show in navigation menu** | When checked, the agent appears as a shortcut in the left sidebar. Useful for frequently used agents.                                                           |
| **Menu order**              | A number that controls the agent's position in the sidebar menu. Lower numbers appear first. Use `0`, `10`, `20` etc. to leave room for inserting agents later. |
