Custom Prompts

Meelio lets you customize the AI's behavior by modifying the system prompts that guide how it responds. This is an advanced feature for practitioners who want fine-tuned control over AI output.

What Are System Prompts?

System prompts are instructions that tell the AI how to behave, what tone to use, and what to focus on. Meelio has two separate prompts:

• Patient Chat Prompt — Used for consultations and patient-specific conversations
• General Chat Prompt — Used for general conversations without patient context

Customizing Prompts

1. Go to Settings → Recording & Transcription
2. Scroll down to the AI Prompts section (click to expand)
3. Select the prompt you want to customize (Patient Chat or General Chat)
4. Toggle Use Custom Prompt on
5. Enter your custom prompt in the text area
6. Click Save

Warning: Modifying the system prompt can significantly affect AI behavior. Only change this if you understand how AI prompts work.

Viewing the Default Prompt

Before customizing, you can view the default prompt by clicking View Default Prompt under each prompt card. This shows you what the AI uses by default.

Tips for Custom Prompts

• Start with the default — Copy the default prompt and modify specific sections rather than writing from scratch
• Be specific — Tell the AI what format to use, what to include, and what to avoid
• Test thoroughly — Start a new chat session after changing prompts to see the effect
• Keep it focused — Longer prompts aren't always better. Focus on the key behaviors you want to change

Limitations

• Maximum prompt length: 10,000 characters
• Changes are saved locally to your device
• You need to start a new chat session for prompt changes to take effect on ongoing conversations

Resetting Prompts

To go back to the default prompt:

1. Click Reset on the prompt card, or
2. Toggle off Use Custom Prompt

The AI will immediately revert to its default behavior for new chat sessions.
