Custom Instructions

What it is

Custom instructions are persistent preferences you set that apply to all your conversations with an AI assistant. These might include your profession, preferred response style, things to always do or avoid, and how you want code formatted. They save you from repeating the same context.

Why it matters

Custom instructions personalise your AI experience. Instead of explaining your preferences every conversation, set them once. This is especially useful for recurring needs like "always use British English" or "I'm not a developer, explain technically but accessibly."
