AI instructions

AI instructions tell every AI feature in the app — task summaries, content drafts, financial report explanations, chat personas, agent email copy, time estimates — how to sound. Set them once per company; some types accept per-project overrides.

Without AI instructions, the model uses generic defaults. With them, output matches your brand voice and house style. Some instruction types are required — the feature won't generate until they're set.

Step-by-step

  1. 1
    Open the unified AI instructions view

    Settings → AI instructions, or visit `/app/settings/ai-instructions` directly. The page lists every AI feature in the app with its current instruction status.

  2. 2
    Pick a feature to configure

    Click any feature row — Task, Content plan, Financial report, Time estimation, Agent, etc. — to open the editor. Some features are company-scope only; some can have per-project overrides.

  3. 3
    Write the instruction

    Write 1-3 paragraphs describing the desired tone, length, vocabulary to avoid, and required structure. Treat it like onboarding a new junior teammate.

  4. 4
    Add a named instruction (multi-type features)

    Some types (e.g., Task) support multiple named instructions — give each a sub-name so UIs that use them can pick the right variant from a dropdown.

  5. 5
    Override per project

    On the per-project view, write an override that replaces the company-wide instruction for that project only — useful when a client wants a specific voice or when time estimation accuracy varies by project type.

Tips

  • Required instruction types (such as Time estimation) refuse to generate until set — you'll see a toast with a 'Set instructions' link pointing directly to the missing type.
  • The Time estimation instruction is project-scoped and required — set it on each project where you use the Estimate with AI button in tasks.
  • AI Agent blueprint agents (Payment Reminder, Daily Briefing, etc.) use the Agent instruction type when generating email copy or digest summaries — set this to match the tone you want for automated outreach.
  • Test changes by triggering the AI feature right after editing — output reflects the new instruction immediately.

Admin configuration

  • AI instructions require an AI key (OpenAI or Gemini) configured in Settings → Integrations → AI keys.
  • Only admins can edit company-wide instructions; project-scope overrides also require project edit access.
