Create custom instructions
The first step in creating custom instructions is Define a clear persona for your AIThis persona will guide your AI's responses and behavior to match your specific goal – for example, if you want an AI that traces the origins of words, you could create an Etymologist persona focused on providing accurate, detailed word histories.
You then configure the output format and special formatting instructions to ensure that the AI results follow your exact specifications, including specifying the desired length of the response, incorporating specific data points or sources, or using specific templates and styles.
- Define clear personas to guide AI behavior
- Set the output format and formatting instructions
- Specifies the desired response length and data to include

Refine your instructions through testing and iteration
To ensure your custom instructions are as effective as possible, it's important to test and refine them thoroughly. Run multiple tests with different inputs to evaluate how your AI reacts in different scenarios. For example, if you created an etymologist persona, test it with a range of words to evaluate the accuracy and depth of the etymologies it provides.
We use the results of these tests to identify areas for improvement and iteratively refine our instructions. This process of continuous testing and refinement allows us to narrow down the set of instructions that is best suited for your particular use case.
Incorporating advanced technology Custom instructions can be even more precise: Integrating project-specific knowledge can provide valuable context to the AI, making the output more relevant and accurate. Additionally, content files and prompt guides can be leveraged to fine-tune the AI's responses to more closely align with the desired outcome.
- Conduct thorough testing with a variety of inputs
- Identify areas for improvement and iteratively improve
- Incorporate project-specific knowledge for greater accuracy
- Use content files and prompt guides to fine-tune your output
