Custom instructions allow you to share anything you'd like for the AI to consider in its response and will give you more control over how the AI responds.

Custom instructions work the same as Project knowledge but are applied only for chats that are not a part of any Project.

Set your preferences, and the AI will keep them in mind for the duration of the conversation - this could be anything from the tone you prefer to specific knowledge you want the AI to use.

Custom instructions are sent to the AI with each new message, ensuring they're always considered throughout the conversation. Unlike prompts, which can be lost in context, instructions serve as a persistent framework for your chat. In the Custom Instructions library, you can save and reuse these instructions across your workspace or use different ones for each chat.
