Add custom instructions
Give Eden standing rules for every chat, like tone, length, format, and things to avoid.
Go to Settings → Personalization and write your rules in How should Eden respond? Click away to save. They apply to every chat, in every workspace you're in.
Add your instructions
- 01
Open Personalization
Open Settings → Personalization. It's under AI in the settings menu.
- 02
Write your rules
Under Custom instructions, fill in How should Eden respond? You have up to 3,000 characters.
- 03
Click away
It saves on its own. A small Saved label confirms it.
To change or remove them, edit or clear the box and click away. Your next message uses the new version.
A starting template
Paste this in and make it yours:
Keep replies concise and use plain language. Lead with the answer. When I ask for ideas, give me three options and recommend one. Use short paragraphs and bullets. No hashtags, emojis, or filler. If a request is unclear, state the assumption you're making.
Rules Eden can see work best. "Give me three options and recommend one" beats "be helpful." "Keep sentences under 20 words" beats "make it punchy."
What goes where
| Field | Put here |
|---|---|
| What should Eden call you? | Your name or nickname. |
| About you and your work | What you do, who you help, and your goals. |
| How should Eden respond? | Tone, length, format, and things to always or never do. |
| Your writing voice | A Custom AI whose style Eden writes in. See writing voice. |
Keep one-off details out. Put a client brief or campaign goal in that chat, its sidebar, or a Custom AI.
When instructions don't win
- A specific request in the chat beats your standing rules.
- A Custom AI's own instructions win for its persona.
- An active skill adds its method for that task.
