Name your assistant, write its instructions, and pick how it answers — a walkthrough of every setting on the create form.
Name your assistant and give it instructions on how to behave (this is called the system prompt). Here is a walkthrough of every setting. This is quick — you can always change everything later. From your dashboard, click New chatbot and fill out the form.
The instructions field is the most important setting. It tells the assistant how to behave — its tone, what it should focus on, and any rules you want it to follow. Write it in plain English, as if you were briefing a teaching assistant on their first day.
