How to set up Rules

Rules let you guide how your AI responds to customers — its tone, boundaries, and behavior. They're plain-English instructions the AI follows on every conversation. You'll find them under Dashboard › Settings › Rules.



Adding a rule

  1. Go to Settings › Rules.
  2. Click Add rule.
  3. Give it a short Rule Name (e.g. "Be positive").
  4. Write the Rule Text — the actual instruction (e.g. "Always reply positively in an upbeat manner").
  5. Leave Rule Enabled checked and click Save.



Managing rules

  • Each rule shows an Active or Disabled status.
  • Use the pause/play button to toggle a rule on or off without deleting it.
  • Use the trash icon to remove a rule entirely.


Example rules

  • Tone: "Always be warm, friendly, and concise. We use terms like 'hey' and 'sure'"
  • Boundaries: "Never give medical or legal advice on our products — suggest contacting support instead."
  • Brand voice: "Avoid jargon and keep answers under three sentences where possible."
  • Promotions: "Only mention discounts if the customer asks about pricing.", "Mention our SAVE5 discount if the customer says they need a discount to checkout"
  • Other use cases: Rules are very powerful. You can guide the assistant to act, provide information and guide customers in almost any situation. Draw attention to specific urls. products, collections or pages in a certain situation.


Tips

  • Keep each rule focused on one behavior — several small rules work better than one long one.
  • Write rules as clear, direct instructions, as if briefing a new support agent.
  • Disable rather than delete when testing, so you can compare results.
