Add assistant Instructions
In this tutorial, you will learn how to add instructions to your assistant during the configuration process. Ejento AI allows you to provide two types of instructions: Detailed Instructions and Custom Instructions. Each type plays a crucial role in defining your assistant's behavior and ensuring it performs tasks accurately.
1. Detailed Instructions
Detailed instructions give a comprehensive overview of the assistant's job and its responsibilities. These instructions help the assistant understand the scope of its tasks and the specifics of what it needs to accomplish. When writing detailed instructions, consider the following:
- Clarity: Be clear and concise about what the assistant needs to do.
- Specificity: Include specific tasks and examples to guide the assistant.
- Context: Provide context so the assistant understands the environment it operates in.
