Customizing Your Agent
Make Crew yours by customizing its name, personality, communication style, and how it knows you.

Go to Settings to customize your agent.
Agent Name
Give your AI assistant a custom name:
Default: "AI Assistant" Examples: "Jarvis", "Luna", "Alex", "Miso"

Choose an emoji that represents your agent's personality. This appears next to the agent's messages.

Response Style

Generous use of emojis throughout responses
Clean Text
No emojis, minimal formatting, clean and professional
Structured
Heavy use of headers, lists, and organized sections

Personality Traits
Add custom traits that define your agent's character:
"Always suggests healthy alternatives when discussing food"
"Includes motivational quotes at the end of morning briefings"
"Uses technical language when discussing coding topics"
"Keeps responses under 3 paragraphs unless asked for more detail"
Adding Traits
In Settings, find the Traits section and add your custom traits one by one.
Changing Personality During Chat
You can also adjust personality through conversation:
"From now on, be more concise in your responses."
"I'd like you to use a more formal tone."
"Add more humor to your personality."
"Be more proactive about suggesting next steps."
Crew will update its personality settings automatically. These changes persist across conversations.
Your Information
Help Crew personalize responses by telling it about you:
Profile Fields
Name: How Crew should address you
Occupation: Your role or job title
Company: Where you work
Interests: Topics you're interested in
Location: Your city/country (used for weather, directions, timezone)
Setting Up
Go to Settings and fill in the "My Information" section, or just tell Crew:
"My name is Alex, I'm a product manager at TechCorp in San Francisco. I'm interested in AI, design, and photography."
Crew remembers this and uses it to personalize responses, weather queries, location suggestions, and more.
Custom Instructions
For specific behavioral rules, use the custom instructions field:
"Always respond in bullet points. Never use more than 5 bullet points per response."
"When I ask about food, always consider that I'm vegetarian."
"If I ask you to write code, use TypeScript by default."
Tips
Experiment freely: You can always reset personality settings in Settings → Agent Memory
Be specific about tone: Instead of "be funny," try "use dry humor and occasional puns"
Combine settings: A "Professor" tone with "Structured" style creates detailed, organized responses
Test on messengers: Personality applies across all channels — test how it feels on your messenger of choice
