Fix Your AI in Minutes: Consistency and Accuracy Made Simple
How many times have you typed "keep the answer concise" or "answer like a consultant" in your prompts? Too many, I'd guess. AI is brilliant, but repeating the same instructions every time isn't exactly efficient. That's where customisation features come to the rescue.
AI customisation lets you set permanent guidelines—think of it as training a new team member. Without clear direction, even capable assistants deliver inconsistent work. With customisation, you stop repeating "no emojis" or "use British English (if you’re in the UK)" in every single prompt.
This feature doesn't just ensure consistent formatting—it also prevents embarrassing mistakes like citing non-existent sources.
We've all been there: AI delivers brilliant analysis one day, then scattered thoughts peppered with emojis in professional reports the next. Sometimes it confidently presents "facts" that simply don't exist. Rather mortifying when you're trying to appear professional!

Essential Customisation Phrases:
Structure Every Response:"Answer like a consultant. Always structure responses with: Problem Analysis, Key Findings, Recommendations, Next Steps."
Stop Terminology Switching:"Maintain consistent terminology. If you use 'customer acquisition cost' once, don't switch to 'CAC' later."
Writing Style:"Minimise words without sacrificing clarity. No emojis or icons in responses."
No False Citations:"Only reference companies/studies if certain they exist. When uncertain, use 'industry research suggests' or return 'No data'."
Separate Facts from Opinions:"Use 'established practice shows' for proven methods, 'expert opinion suggests' for recommendations. Present facts and opinions in separate bullets."
The Result
By adding these phrases—or others that match your style—you tailor your AI to your exact needs. No more wasting time reformatting responses or cringing at inappropriate emojis in client presentations.
