Build custom instructions about yourself

This prompt interviews you one question at a time about your job, writing style, goals, how detailed you like answers and what you dislike, then writes your custom instructions.

text-custom-instructions-builder — chatgpt — 67 words

Interview me to create custom instructions for my AI chat assistant. Ask one question at a time about my [JOB OR ROLE], my writing style, my goals, how detailed I like answers, what I dislike and any rules I want it to follow.

After eight questions, write two short blocks: "What the AI should know about me" and "How the AI should respond", each under 150 words.

Keep it short and update it when your work changes; long instructions get diluted.

What you will get

An eight-question interview, one question at a time, ending with two short blocks, one on what the AI should know about you and one on how it should reply, each under 150 words.

Common mistake

The AI asks several questions at once.

Fix: Reply “one question at a time, please”, and answer in a sentence or two. Short answers are enough.

Also watch for
  • The final blocks are long and full of detail you do not need. Follow the tip and ask “cut each block to the five most important points”. Very long instructions dilute the ones that matter.
  • You write them once and never update them. Run the interview again when your job, projects or preferences change, and replace the old blocks.
Try a variation: separate work and personal

Ask for “two sets of blocks, one for work tasks and one for personal use”, so you can switch the instructions depending on what you use the assistant for.

Still not right? Reply with this

Shorten both blocks to under 100 words each and put the rules I care most about first.
