 - **botPrivacy**: Put the link to your bot privacy policy.
 - **maxRetries**: Maximum number of retries for a failing command on Kowalski. Default is 5. If the limit is hit, the bot will crash past this number.
 - **botToken**: Put your bot token that you created at [@BotFather](https://t.me/botfather).
+- **ollamaEnabled** (optional): Enables/disables AI features
 - **ollamaApi** (optional): Ollama API endpoint for various AI features, will be disabled if not set
+- **handlerTimeout** (default: `600_000`): How long handlers will wait before timing out. Set this high if using large AI models.
 - **botAdmins**: Put the ID of the people responsible for managing the bot. They can use some administrative + exclusive commands on any group.
 - **lastKey**: Last.fm API key, for use on `lastfm.js` functions, like see who is listening to what song and etc.
 - **weatherKey**: Weather.com API key, used for the `/weather` command.
