Agent BuilderWhat is System Prompts?
With System Prompts you set the core instructions of your agent: who the agent is, what the fixed rules are and where the boundaries lie. This way your agent always behaves consistently, regardless of what a customer asks.
How does it work?
- Open the system prompt of your agent.
- Describe the role, the fixed rules and the boundaries.
- Determine what the agent must never deviate from.
- Save; this basis applies to every conversation.

Frequently asked questions
What's the difference from a regular prompt?
The system prompt contains the fixed basic rules that always apply. Regular prompts control individual tasks or situations within those boundaries.
Can a customer bypass the system prompt?
The system prompt is designed to firmly establish the behaviour. You set clear boundaries so that the agent stays within your rules.
