Custom System Prompts

What are System Prompts?

System prompts set the behavior and context for AI models:

• Define the AI's role (e.g., "You are a helpful coding assistant")
• Set constraints (e.g., "Always provide code examples")
• Establish tone (e.g., "Be concise and professional")
• Add context (e.g., "We're working on a React project")

Creating Prompts

1. Find the System Prompt section
2. Write your system prompt
3. Scroll down and click Save
4. Now every AI in a new chat will use this prompt by default!

Using Prompts

• Per-chat - Select when starting a conversation
• Global default - Set for all new chats
• Quick select - Access from chat interface
• Prompt library - Browse saved prompts
