Chat Temperature

Summary

• Purpose: Set the temperature to influence determinism vs. creativity
• Audience: Integrators
• Prereqs: Configuration Scripts

Note: This script is optional and typically for advanced use. Many teams can leave the default value.

Steps

1. Open the FileMaker Script Workspace.
2. In ProofChat Integration → Configuration → Optional, edit the script named Configure Chat Temperature.
3. Set the $temperature variable to the value you want (e.g., 0.2 for deterministic, 1.0 for balanced, >1 for more variety).
4. Exit the script by returning $temperature. ProofChat reads this value when starting a chat.

What this looks like

Guidance

• Lower values produce more predictable, repeatable answers; higher values can be more diverse and creative.
• Make changes gradually and validate with representative prompts from your users.
• If you also use model‑specific overrides in Chat Parameters, let this temperature serve as the general default.

How to test it

1. Start a new chat and ask a question twice, looking for variation (e.g., "draft three subject lines").
2. Lower temperature, start a new chat, and ask again; results should be more similar each run.
3. Increase temperature, start a new chat, and ask again; outputs should vary more.
