# Chat Settings

**Chat settings** You can choose between 3 modes on how Humata would respond to your questions.

**Grounded** - Humata strictly cites your documentation for precise answers. The AI will respond "I can not provide an answer based on the provided documents" if the information you seek cannot be found in your uploaded file.

**Balanced** - Humata will use your document first as a reference and to find information, but Humata may add extra insights and information not found in your uploaded document to complete an answer.

**Creative** - Humata expressively answers your questions loosely leveraging your document data. We recommend this setting if your question is out of topic or irrelevant to the document uploaded.

You can play around with the chat setting to find what response setting would best suit your needs.

```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
