Example Usage

Under Custom Instructions, you can instruct Qodo Gen to follow certain rules. These rules can be followed by all messages in Qodo Gen or by specific commands only.

Here, we've instructed Qodo Gen to "Answer in 5 lines max" on all messages, and "Answer in Italian" specifically for /ask commands.

Asking Qodo Gen a question, we can see it follows the instructions.
