Shape how your AI communicates — set the tone, customize the system prompt, and add specific instructions.

Writing effective system prompts

The system prompt is the most powerful personality lever. It tells the AI who it is, how it should behave, and what rules to follow. A few tips:

  • Be specific — "Be concise and use bullet points" is better than "Be helpful"
  • Set boundaries — "If you don't know the answer, say so" prevents hallucination
  • Define the role — "You are a technical support specialist for a SaaS platform" gives the AI a clear identity

Changes to personality settings apply to your personal assistant. To configure personality for specific agents, use each agent's individual settings.
