Define a mission
Set out the assistant’s role, its tone and the rules it must follow.
AI agent creation starts from a precise mission: your instructions and your steps give the conversation a reusable frame.
Mission → Instructions → Guided path
Set out the assistant’s role, its tone and the rules it must follow.
Chain together messages, document selections, instructions and answers.
Offer the same scenario for a recurring task, then adjust it from what your trials show.
Choose a task and describe the result you expect.
Prepare the instructions and the documents the conversation will need.
Run the scenario on a real case and adjust the instructions.
An assistant can guide the gathering of context, prompt you to select the useful documents and help produce a summary that follows your instructions.
No, it rests on one. The agent brings the method — the steps, the tone, the expected result — and the base brings the substance. Without one, the other runs empty.
A handful is enough. Too long a path becomes hard to control: several specialised agents beat a single one that claims to do everything.
Yes, and that is the point: a method written once becomes available to everyone, instead of staying in its author’s head.
Look at the instruction before the model. Nine times out of ten, the gap comes from something taken for granted: a format, a tone, a constraint that was never written down. Test on a few real cases before opening the assistant to the team.
