Overview

AI instructions are directives that shape how AI assistants behave. They can be scoped globally (affecting all assistants) or targeted to specific assistants or clients. Instructions are applied in order, allowing layered control over AI behavior. Navigate to Admin > Settings > AI Instructions.

Viewing Instructions

The instructions page lists all configured instructions with:
  • Instruction text preview (first 50 characters)
  • Scope (System, Global, Client, Assistant)
  • Client ID (if client-scoped)
  • Active status
  • Display order
  • Created and modified dates

Instruction Scopes

Instructions are applied in scope order: System > Global > Client > Assistant. Within each scope, they are applied in their configured display order.

Creating Instructions

Use instructions to enforce organizational policies, guide response tone, restrict topics, or provide domain-specific context that all assistants should follow.
