# AI User Copilot

> Overview of AI User Copilot in CometChat.

## AI-Enabled Messaging Experience

Picture a chat that effortlessly starts and flows, like catching up with your best buddy over a cup of coffee. With CometChat AI, we're making that a reality! Introducing **Conversation Starter** and **Smart Replies** that ignite natural and organic conversations. Say goodbye to awkward silences and hello to chat-filled adventures!

For those who require a concise overview of their discussions, the **Conversation Summary** feature is available to provide a succinct recap.

These features are powered by OpenAI. You configure your OpenAI model and API key once in the CometChat dashboard (below), enable each feature, and then either let the [UI Kits](/ui-kit/react/ai-features) render them automatically or fetch them yourself through the SDK.

### Set the GPT Model

Enter the name of the OpenAI model that you intend to use.

<Note>
  Enter the exact OpenAI model name as it appears in OpenAI's documentation (for example, the value you would pass as the `model` parameter to the OpenAI API). For the current list of supported model names, refer to [OpenAI's models documentation](https://platform.openai.com/docs/models). If a model name is not accepted, confirm it is available on your OpenAI account.
</Note>

### Save the OpenAI Key

You can get the OpenAI Key from your [OpenAI account](https://platform.openai.com/account/api-keys). This will be used by CometChat to interact with the OpenAI APIs.

### Set a Custom Instruction

Custom Instruction is an information which gets added in each and every ChatGPT prompt made by the CometChat AI. Custom Instruction is app-level information you can add to describe your use-case & inform what kind of responses you need from the CometChat AI.

### Set the Temperature

The API is non-deterministic by default. This means that you might get a slightly different completion every time you call it, even if your prompt stays the same. Setting temperature to 0 will make the outputs mostly deterministic, but a small amount of variability will remain.

Lower values for temperature result in more consistent outputs, while higher values generate more diverse and creative results. Select a temperature value based on the desired trade-off between coherence and creativity for your specific application.

### Enable AI

Toggle on AI.

## Rendering AI features in your app

After the settings above are saved and AI is enabled, turn on the individual features you want (**Conversation Starter**, **Smart Replies**, **Conversation Summary**) and surface them in your app in one of two ways:

* **UI Kits (no extra code):** Enable each feature from the dashboard and the UI Kit renders it automatically — Conversation Starter appears in the message list, while Smart Replies and Conversation Summary appear in the composer's action sheet. See [Smart Chat Features in the React UI Kit](/ui-kit/react/ai-features) for exactly which component shows each feature.
* **SDK methods (full control):** Fetch suggestions yourself and render your own UI. Each feature page documents its SDK method and configuration — see [Conversation Starter](/fundamentals/ai-user-copilot/conversation-starter), [Smart Replies](/fundamentals/ai-user-copilot/smart-replies), and [Conversation Summary](/fundamentals/ai-user-copilot/conversation-summary). For the JavaScript SDK reference, see the [AI User Copilot SDK overview](/sdk/javascript/ai-user-copilot-overview).
