# Temperature

**Temperature** defines the Agent’s level of creativity and variability.\
It influences how deterministic or imaginative the responses will be.

| Range     | Behavior                        | Recommended Use                   |
| --------- | ------------------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| 0.0 – 0.3 | Consistent, factual, analytical | Customer support, data analysis   |
| 0.4 – 0.7 | Balanced, adaptive              | General-purpose assistants        |
| 0.8 – 1.0 | Creative, expressive            | Marketing, storytelling, ideation |

Higher temperatures make the Agent explore alternative reasoning paths, while lower ones make it precise and predictable.
