Custom Instructions tell Azura how you want it to behave — your tone, format preferences, expertise level, or anything else. They are added on top of the default instructions and apply to all new messages.

​
Set custom instructions

  1. Click the Settings gear in the header (tooltip “Settings”), or use the /settings slash command.
  2. Open the “Instructions” tab.
  3. Type your instructions in the text area. A live character counter shows how much room you have left.
  4. Click “Save”. The button flips to “Saved”.
When instructions are active, a note confirms: “Custom instructions are active and will apply to all new messages.”

​
Example instructions

The placeholder suggests examples like:
  • “Always respond in a concise, bullet-point style.”
  • “You are an expert software engineer. Prefer TypeScript and functional patterns.”
  • “Never add disclaimers or caveats unless I ask.”
  • “Respond in British English.”

​
Good to know

  • Custom instructions are stored in your browser only, not on the server. They will not follow you to another device or browser.
  • There are no theme or model settings here. Theme uses the sun/moon toggle in the header; models use the in-chat selector above the Omnibox.
