Custom Instructions

Default: Not set · Type: Text

Free-form instructions (up to 1,000 characters) appended to every request, letting you steer the assistant globally. Examples: "Always explain assumptions", "Prefer simple queries", "Include validation checks".

Custom instructions are injected after the shared, cached prompt, so they personalise responses without affecting other users.

What changes

A custom instruction can reshape the output however you like. Here every column heading is prefixed with Cheese 🧀 (look at the aliases). The rest of the query is identical.

With instruction

Custom instruction: "Start every column heading with the word ‘Cheese’ 🧀 so I can always spot my reports."
