2. **Command Template**: this will be used as the prompt. You can use `{input}` placeholder for the highlighted text
3. **Behavior:** choose how BoltAI should proceed your request
   1. **Answer in a new window**: BoltAI start a new chat window with your prompt
   2. **Insert answer before selection:** BoltAI attempts to insert the answer before your highlighted tex
   3. **Insert answer after selection:** BoltAI attempts to insert the answer after your highlighted text. (Note: do not change your selection during AI is processing)

5. **Model:** which LLM model should be used
6. **Answer in language:** by default, BoltAI will answer in the same language as the input. However you can change this to your preferred language.
