YakShaver supports custom system prompts for PBI generation, allowing you to customize AI-generated content to match your team's specific requirements.

Follow these steps to configure custom system prompts:

Prerequisites

You need admin permission for your tenant. Only admin accounts can edit custom system prompts.

Accessing the Portal

  1. Clicking the "Portal" button in the top-right corner of the yakshaver.ai home page
  2. Or directly visiting https://portal.yakshaver.ai/

Configuration Levels

YakShaver allows admin users to configure custom system prompts at two levels: tenant level and project level.

Tenant Level Configuration

Tenant level prompts apply to all projects under current tenant. Admin users can modify it by opening the system info sidebar and editing the “Tenant Prompt Configuration” card.

Project Level Configuration

Users can also configure specific project level prompts to override the tenant settings. Admin accounts can click on an individual project to enter the project details, then modify the prompt in the "Custom System Prompt" field.

Regular users can view each project's prompt in the project list page.

⚠️ Note: When both tenant level and project level prompts exist, the project level prompt always takes higher priority and will override the tenant level prompt.

Example: Language Customization

Here's a practical example of how custom system prompts can be used to customize YakShaver's output.

Consider a Chinese-speaking team using YakShaver, where the default PBI language for YakShaver is English. You can configure a tenant level system prompt to ensure all projects generate Chinese PBIs.

With this configuration, YakShaver will generate Chinese PBIs regardless of the video recording language.

Custom system prompts can also configure various aspects of PBI generation, including format, language, tone, and style.

⚠️ Important: Use custom system prompts carefully. Results may vary and may not always meet expectations.
