# Settings

Configure how your Genie behaves, what it connects to, and how it looks.

***

## Accessing settings

Click **Settings** in the sidebar of your Genie dashboard.

***

## What you can configure

### Channels

Connect and manage your messaging channels — Telegram, Discord, and web chat. See [Channels Overview](https://docs.deva.me/deva-ai-creator-docs/channels/overview) for details.

### Secrets

Store API keys, tokens, and other sensitive values that your Genie can use. Secrets are encrypted and only accessible to your Genie.

Use secrets to connect Genie to third-party services without exposing credentials in plain text.

### AI Model

Your Genie uses a default AI model, but you can adjust model preferences depending on your needs — faster responses vs. deeper reasoning.

### Personality

Customize how your Genie communicates. Set its tone, give it context about who you are and what you work on, and define how it should respond.
