Text & chat prompt
Build custom instructions about yourself
Build custom instructions about yourself: a free, copy-paste prompt for ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude. Paste the prompt and replace each [BRACKETED] field with your own details.
The prompt
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.
Pro tip: Keep it short and update it when your work changes; long instructions get diluted.
