System prompt

A system prompt is the standing instructions an AI chatbot follows in every conversation: who it works for, how it speaks and what it must never do.

What it means

Also called instructions, persona.

It shapes tone and behaviour, but it isn't a guarantee: anything that must never happen, such as booking a time the customer didn't choose, belongs in code, not only in the prompt.

In HeyKiko

In HeyKiko it's the agent's instructions and persona in Settings › AI, which you can write or generate from your website.
