System Prompt Architecture
The settings configured on the profile page function as 'System Prompts.' These are high-level directives that override standard AI behavior, ensuring the model maintains a consistent character (Identity) and formatting approach (Work Style) throughout a conversation.
Iterative Customization
Agent instructions are not permanent. You can return to the personalization page at any time to refine the instructions based on the agent's performance, effectively 'teaching' it to adapt to your specific workflow over time.

- Navigate to the instructions or memory setup section to access the profile configuration.
- Browse the available template options provided by Notion.
- Select the 'Educational' template to load specific behavioral instructions.
- Review the populated page, which defines the 'Instruction', 'Work Style', and 'Identity' sections.
- Click directly into the text fields to manually edit the system prompts (e.g., modifying the agent's tone or specific rules).
- Save or apply the changes to finalize the agent's new behavioral guidelines.
