To add custom behaviours for the agent, go to Configuration from the sidebar, then click on the Agent tab to access the guidelines section.

Custom Instructions

Custom instructions tell your agent exactly how to handle specific tasks—think of it as giving your agent a rulebook to follow. This ensures it behaves just the way you want. For example:

Always use the gpt-4o-mini model for all OpenAI API calls in this app. Avoid older models like gpt-4o and make sure every completion uses model="gpt-4o-mini."
