Preference Prompts

Jylo has enhanced the User Preference Prompt feature by introducing Output Style Templates—pre-built configurations that instantly customise how the Assistant responds to your queries.

Previously, users needed to write their own preference prompts from scratch to achieve a particular response style. Now, you can select from five professionally designed templates that match common roles and industries, making personalisation immediate and effortless.

How It Works

The User Preference Prompt is automatically appended to every message you send to the Assistant. By selecting an Output Style Template, you define how you want the AI to communicate with you—whether that's formal legal analysis, friendly guidance, or executive-focused insights.

This personalisation layer ensures that every interaction with the Assistant is tailored to your professional context and communication preferences.

Accessing Output Style Templates

To set or change your Output Style Template:

1. Click your profile icon (showing your initial) in the top-right corner of Jylo
2. Select Edit User Preference Prompt from the dropdown menu
3. The "Edit User Preference Prompt" dialogue will open
4. Click to expand the "Choose from Output Style Templates" section
5. Review the available templates and their descriptions
6. Click Use Template on your preferred style
7. The template will populate in the text field below
8. Click Update Prompt to save your selection

Creating Custom Preference Prompts

While templates provide instant customisation, you may want to create a fully bespoke preference prompt. To write your own:

1. Follow steps 1-4 above to open the User Preference Prompt dialogue
2. Instead of selecting a template, click directly in the text field at the bottom
3. Write your custom instructions describing how you want the Assistant to respond
4. Click Update Prompt to save

Custom prompt examples:

• "Always provide responses in bullet points with no more than 5 key points"
• "When analysing documents, prioritise risk identification over opportunities"
• "Use UK English spelling and legal terminology appropriate for English courts"
• "Structure all responses with an executive summary, detailed analysis, and recommended actions"
