# AI Instructions: what they are and how to edit them

Instructions are essential for defining your Agent's behavior and capabilities in AIsuru. You can use them to set:

* Your Agent's **role and expertise**;
* **Response style**;
* **Behavioral limits and guidelines**.

{% hint style="danger" %}
Never include confidential information in your Agent's instructions. **Anything you put in the instructions could be revealed to the user**!
{% endhint %}

### Accessing and editing instructions

To edit your Agent's instructions, follow these steps:

1. Open the management panel for the Agent you want to configure;
2. Select  **Settings** in the sidebar;
3. Inside the page, open the  **AI** section;
4. Find the "Instructions" field, make your changes, and click "Save changes".

*Note: The "Instructions" field can be expanded by clicking "Expand" to open an advanced system prompt editor.*

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.aisuru.com/en/generative-ai/ai-instructions/ai-instructions-what-they-are-and-how-to-edit.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
