# Set the default agent and landing suggestions

Set the default agent and landing suggestions [#set-the-default-agent-and-landing-suggestions]

The **Chat** page sets which agent a new chat starts with and which suggestions the workspace's home page offers.

You need a role with **Manage Workspace Settings**, such as **Admin**. Open **Settings** > **Chat** under **Workspace · "*name*"**.

Choose the default agent [#choose-the-default-agent]

Under **Default agent**, pick an agent. It is preselected whenever someone starts a new chat without choosing an agent.

* The list holds &#x2A;*Alo (default)**, the workspace's own agents and the agents installed in it. Agents are installed on the **Agents** page; see [Agents](/docs/platform/agents).
* The list also shows agents that were never published. Until the chosen agent is published, new chats start with **Alo** instead. See [Test and publish an agent](/docs/platform/agents/test-and-publish).
* While an agent is the default, it cannot be removed from the workspace.

Add a landing suggestion [#add-a-landing-suggestion]

A workspace starts with the deployment's suggestions, marked **Using platform defaults**. Your first suggestion replaces them for this workspace.

1. Select **Add suggestion**, or **Create workspace suggestions** while the workspace uses the platform defaults.

2. Fill in **Basics**.

3. Optionally, open **Gallery** to add example cards.

4. Select **Save**.

| Field      | What to enter                                        |
| ---------- | ---------------------------------------------------- |
| **Label**  | The text on the suggestion, up to three words.       |
| **Agent**  | The agent that runs it.                              |
| **Prompt** | The message it puts in the message box.              |
| **Model**  | **Agent default**, or one model for this suggestion. |
| **Icon**   | One of the built-in icons.                           |

Without a gallery, selecting the suggestion fills the message box with its prompt. With one, it opens a gallery of example cards to pick from.

| Gallery item              | Limit                                                                  |
| ------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Categories per suggestion | 8                                                                      |
| Examples per category     | 12                                                                     |
| Example title             | 80 characters, shown under the card                                    |
| Example image             | PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 10 MB, as a **Portrait** or **Landscape** card |

Each example has its own prompt, and can use another agent or model than the suggestion.

* A workspace shows at most nine suggestions.
* Delete every suggestion to go back to the platform defaults.
* An agent used by an active suggestion cannot be removed from the workspace.
* A suggestion whose agent was never published does not show on the home page until the agent is published.
* If a suggestion's model is no longer available in the workspace, it runs on the agent's default model.

To set the default agent and suggestions with an API key, see [Manage workspaces](/docs/api/workspaces/manage-workspaces) in the API documentation.
