Profile and Instructions
Set your display name and add global AI instructions that apply to every conversation.
The Profile & Instructions card in Settings -> Account lets you personalize how AgentOne addresses you and how the AI responds across all your chats.
Your Name
The Your Name field sets the name AgentOne uses when it refers to you in conversation. This is the same name you set during onboarding and can be updated here at any time.
The name is stored locally and, if sync is enabled, synchronized across your signed-in devices.
AI Instructions
The AI Instructions field lets you add a persistent system-level instruction that AgentOne prepends to every conversation. Think of it as a standing note to the AI about how you want it to behave.
Useful things to put here:
- Tone preferences: "Respond concisely. Avoid unnecessary preamble."
- Language preferences: "Use British English spelling."
- Formatting preferences: "Always use fenced code blocks for code. Never use inline code for multi-line snippets."
- Domain context: "I am a backend developer working primarily in Go and PostgreSQL."
- Response style: "When I ask for an explanation, assume I have intermediate knowledge - no need to explain basic concepts."
These instructions apply globally to every new chat. For one-off instructions that only apply to a specific conversation, put them in the message or the chat itself rather than here.
Character Limit
The instructions field has a character limit. A live character count is shown below the field so you can see how much space you have used. Keep instructions focused - longer is not always better, since overly long system prompts can sometimes reduce model effectiveness.
Memory
The Memory section lets you store persistent facts about yourself that the AI remembers across every conversation. Unlike AI Instructions, which are fixed, memories can be added, removed, or updated by the AI automatically during chats.
Each memory entry is a short text string (up to 500 characters), and you can have up to 100 entries total. Memories sync across your devices when settings sync is enabled.
See Memory for full details.
