How to Set Custom Instructions in Grok

Use this interactive demo to learn how to personalize Grok's responses with custom instructions.

Quick summary

Grok's Custom Instructions feature lets you control how the AI responds by setting a preferred tone or style directly from the Mode Selection menu. Once configured, every Grok response will automatically follow your chosen instruction without needing to repeat your preferences each session.


Steps

  1. On Grok's main dashboard, go to the chat box and click the Mode Selection menu.
  2. Find Custom Instructions from the list of options and click the Customize button next to it.
  3. Select your preferred type of response — for example, formal tone.
  4. Your custom instruction will be saved and applied to future Grok responses.

📌 Why this matters

Grok's Custom Instructions feature gives users direct control over how the AI communicates, making every interaction more relevant and efficient. By setting a preferred response style — such as formal, concise, or conversational — users eliminate the need to repeat context or tone preferences in every chat session. This personalization capability is especially valuable for professionals and power users who rely on consistent, tailored AI output for research, writing, or decision-making. Custom Instructions make Grok a more adaptive and productivity-focused AI assistant for everyday use.
