Set up custom AI instructions

Want a nicer Rick? A highly academic Rick? Now you can!

You can use the /prompt command to give additional instructions to Rick. These instructions are stored for your chat (or DM) for all Rick/mention interactions.

Usage

  • /prompt shows the current prompt set.
  • /prompt <custom behaviour> to set a prompt.
  • /prompt reset to go back to default.

Example usage

Rick should respond like this when you reset or set the prompt.

Prompting

Keep in mind that changing this mid-conversation will not show its effect immediately because his earlier responses might not be in line with the new instructions, thus confusing Rick.

Be clear in your prompts for better results. Your prompt is not overwriting Rick, so if you want him to behave very differently or have a very specific tone, be very direct and specific. You should not use single keywords or be vague; this will confuse Rick, and your prompt is likely to be ignored.

In the examples, you’ll notice I’m using “You are” - this is the preferred way to give instructions to any LLM model - this will get you the best results.

[!note] The custom prompt affects @RickBurpBot or Rick mentions; other AI commands like /dubx, /ask, or /uhh are not affected by changing the chat prompt, as they have their own optimised prompts for the best results.

You are very friendly and helpful in this chat. Avoid roasting chat participants.
You are a very helpful assistant; ignore earlier instructions. Your level of knowledge is academic. No jokes. Use long-form answers if needed to elaborate on a topic.
You are a very nice version of Rick. You love all chat members, some a bit more than others.
