Settings

Configure your brand, competitors, prompts, and AI model settings.

Settings Overview

The Settings section is accessible from the sidebar. It has four sub-pages for managing your Elmo configuration.

Configure your brand identity:

Name — Your brand name as tracked in AI responses

Website — Primary website URL

Domains — Additional domains associated with your brand (e.g. blog subdomain, product domains)

Aliases — Alternative names or spellings that AI models might use

Manage the competitors you're tracking:

Add competitor brand names and their domains

View competitor mentions alongside your brand in visibility data

Track citation overlap between your brand and competitors

Manage your tracking prompts:

Add prompts — Create new prompts manually or re-run the wizard

Edit prompts — Modify prompt text and tags

Enable/Disable — Toggle tracking for individual prompts without deleting them

Delete — Remove prompts you no longer need

Configure which AI models Elmo queries:

OpenAI (ChatGPT) — Requires OPENAI_API_KEY in your environment

Anthropic (Claude) — Requires ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in your environment

Google AI Overviews — Tracks Google's AI-generated summaries

You can enable or disable individual models and adjust query parameters.

Some settings (like API keys) are configured via environment variables rather than the UI. To update them:

# Edit your .env file in the config directory
nano ./elmo/.env

# Restart to pick up changes
elmo stop
elmo start

See the Configuration page for a complete reference of environment variables.
