Custom AI Prompt

Set a custom prompt to personalize how Slate’s AI works for you. Your instructions apply to every AI conversation and generation, shaping tone, language, terminology, and content focus. Standard

  1. Open Settings from the user menu
  2. Select the AI section
  3. Enter your instructions in the text field (up to 500 characters)
  4. Click Save

Your prompt takes effect immediately on all new AI conversations and generations.

Your custom prompt influences:

  • AI course generation - the conversation and the generated course content
  • AI lesson generation - the conversation and the generated lesson content

The AI treats your prompt as known context about you and your preferences. If you specify a location, the AI will use it automatically instead of asking. If you specify a tone, it becomes the default.

Here are some examples of effective custom prompts:

  • “Always use British English spelling. Focus on healthcare industry examples.”
  • “Our company is based in Canada. Use a direct, concise tone. We work in financial services.”
  • “Write for a technical audience familiar with software development. Keep explanations brief.”
  • “Use Australian English. Include examples relevant to the mining and resources industry.”

The custom AI prompt feature is available on Standard and Pro plans. Free plan users see an upgrade prompt in the AI settings section. Team workspace members have access regardless of their personal plan tier.

To remove your custom prompt, click Clear in Settings > AI. AI conversations will return to Slate’s default behavior.
