This guide provides a step-by-step walkthrough for creating and customizing prompts in the AI documentation copilot, enabling you to tailor documentation to your specific needs. Base prompts are foundational instructions that define the style and tone the AI documentation copilot will use throughout your documentation.

​
Getting Started

Follow these steps to create and customize prompts:
1

Begin by clicking Change. A popup will appear, allowing you to switch between prompts and designate one as the default.
2

In this section, you can select, modify, or replace prompts. Pre-created prompts are available to address most common use cases. For new documentation, you can choose to uncheck the default option or mark a different prompt as the default. To edit a prompt, hover over it and click the pen icon. This will display the title and the prompt content, both of which can be edited.
3

Let’s create a new prompt to transform a document into a newsletter for a feature launch. Provide the details for your new prompt. Start with a clear and concise title that summarizes the purpose of the prompt. Below the title, include a well-structured and detailed description outlining the guidelines and expectations for the AI to follow throughout the documentation. You can choose to set this prompt as the default for all documentation. For this example, we’ll leave it unchecked and click Confirm.
4

The AI will begin transforming the document to align with the selected base prompt. If the results aren’t satisfactory, you can undo the changes or use the AI documentation copilot to make further adjustments. As shown, the document has been updated to reflect the base prompt.
5

Next, as an example, let’s edit the document using the AI Copilot by dividing it into sections. Once the process is complete, the AI will organize the document into sections based on the instructions in the base prompt.
That’s it! You’ve now mastered the use of base prompts in the AI documentation copilot 🎉
