# Settings (/docs/user-guide/settings)



## Settings Overview [#settings-overview]

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

## Brand Settings [#brand-settings]

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

{/* TODO: Screenshot of brand settings */}

## Competitor Settings [#competitor-settings]

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

{/* TODO: Screenshot of competitor settings */}

## Prompt Settings [#prompt-settings]

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

{/* TODO: Screenshot of prompt settings */}

## LLM Settings [#llm-settings]

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.

## Updating Environment Variables [#updating-environment-variables]

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

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

# Restart to pick up changes
elmo compose down
elmo compose up -d
```

See the [Configuration](/docs/developer-guide/configuration) page for a complete reference of environment variables.
