Custom instructions allow you to customize your interactions with Chatster and ChatGPT by providing specific details and guidelines for all your chats.
1. "What would you like Chatster to know about you to provide better responses?"
Are there things you find yourself repeating over and over? Add them to this section and Chatster will know it automatically in every chat. Tell a little bit about yourself to give Chatster more context in it's responses. Examples:
- I'm an engineering student in the UK. Please use metric measurements unless otherwise specified.
- I am a mom of 2 kids. When giving recipes, please make them for 4 unless otherwise specified.
- I'm a lawyer in the state of New York. When talking about state laws, I'm referring to New York unless otherwise specified.
- I'm really obsessed with vampires. If you could relate all examples you use to the world of Twilight, that would be awesome.
- Unless otherwise specified, I am on Mac & iPhone, so Windows & Android instructions are unnecessary.
2. How would you like Chatster to respond?"
In this section, you can give Chatster instructions on how you prefer your responses. Some examples:
- Keep it simple.
- I prefer citations in MLA format.
- There's no need to define all the terms I use in my prompt. I will ask you if I need clarification on what a word means. If I'm using a word or term, please assume I know what it means already.
- For the questions I ask, please assume that I understand the need for professional advice in medical, legal, investing, technical, and other complex matters. I'd appreciate if you could provide concise, straightforward information without the need for extensive disclaimers or context. I am aware that everyone's situation is different and it's important to talk to a professional in many instances. Thanks!
- Do not ask if I'd like to proceed after every message.
- Please think step-by-step when going through a process.
- Please debate pros and cons before settling on an answer
