**Managing Expert Groups**

Expert Groups are also visible and manageable from the **Admin > Agents** panel, alongside the platform's other Agents.

### Group configuration

The creation page is divided into 3 main sections: General, AI, and Appearance. Let's go through each one.

### General

Here you'll configure the core settings for your group, such as name, description, visibility, language, voice, categories, and NSFW (if the Group contains Agents with this option enabled).

Just like when creating an Agent, you can choose to customize responses based on location, date, time, or make the group accessible to authenticated users only.

### Appearance

Here you can give your Expert Group a visual identity:

* **Cover image**: upload an image that represents your group;
* **Avatar image**: choose a distinctive icon for your group.

### AI settings

In your Expert Group's settings, you can customize the [AI model](/en/generative-ai/providers.md) used.

**Accessing AI settings**

To configure the AI for your Expert Group:

1. Go to the management page for the desired group;
2. In the sidebar, select **Settings**;
3. Click on the **AI** section.

**Choose the model**\
Select the language model the Expert Group will use to analyze user requests and pick the most suitable expert.

The choice of model directly affects the group's ability to understand user questions and select the most appropriate expert for each situation.
