Craft Instructions That Get Results

Tell AI Who You Are

More context = better responses:

💡 Example That Works:

"I'm a software developer with 5 years of experience working primarily with React and Node.js. I'm currently learning machine learning and prefer practical examples over theoretical explanations."

Result: Every AI response now includes code samples in your stack, skips basics you already know, and connects ML concepts to your web dev experience.

Define Your Perfect Response Style

Match your communication preferences:

🎯 Example for Clear Communication:

"Be concise and action-oriented. Start with the key insight, then provide supporting details. Use examples from real-world business scenarios. Format lists for easy scanning."

Result: No more walls of text. Get crisp, business-ready responses that respect your time.
