I've been messing around with Vapi sqauds recently, and I'm wondering what is the difference between configuring an assistant's prompt, first message, voice, etc. in the squads "model settings" and "voice settings" tab vs doing it in the original "assistants" sub section
And what are the pros and cons of each (if there are any)

@TommyChryst Great question! When you configure an assistant's prompt, first message, voice, and other settings in the "model settings" and "voice settings" tab within a squad, you are customizing how the assistant behaves specifically within the context of that squad. This means that any changes you make here will only apply when the assistant is operating as part of the squad. On the other hand, when you configure these settings in the original "assistants" subsection, you are setting the default behavior for the assistant across all squads and interactions. These are the general settings that the assistant will use unless overridden by squad-specific settings. In summary, squad-specific settings allow you to tailor the assistant's behavior for different use cases or scenarios, while the default settings in the "assistants" subsection provide a baseline for the assistant's behavior across the board.
You can continue this conversation by mentioning me in the message.

there is no difference it's just that they will act as assistant overrides.
