Prompting

ToothFairyAI Agents interact with users via prompts and instructions to tell the agent what to generate. The prompts are used to guide the agent on what to generate and how to generate it. However, specific use cases may require custom prompts to be created, for example if the user wants to generate content for a specific topic or a specific use case with consistent content more structured than a simple prompt or some guidelines for the agent to follow.

ToothFairyAI allows users to save these prompts for future use with all agent types within the respective sections.

Who can use this feature?

All profiles can create and use custom prompts except for the User profiles.

A custom prompt can be created also from the Settings menu, specifically from the Prompts section.

The custom prompts can be used to by selecting the newly created option from the Prompt dropdown menu in the Agents page.

Once a custom prompt is selected, the predefined instructions will be used to pre-populate the Prompt field ready to be used or edited.

Why can't I see the Prompts with my agent

Similarly to the Topics feature which enable access to content to agents, the same applies to the Prompts feature which requires the users to explicitly assign the prompts to the agents. This is to guarantee that the agents have access to the prompts that are relevant to them.

Prompts can be created and or edited from the following menu: Settings > Prompting > Create Prompt

More about Prompts​

Prompts are basically a set of instructions which can be used for an agent without having to write the same instruction manually or copy and paste it from another source.

The user can include in the prompt instruction the {} brackets which will be used by the Agent to determine where to place the additional user content. This is similar to the way the many platforms use for prompt engineering. ToothFairyAI makes it transparent and easy to use for the end user.

Prompts and Scheduled Jobs​

Custom prompts become particularly powerful when combined with ToothFairyAI's Jobs feature. Jobs allow you to schedule agents to run automatically with specific prompts at defined intervals, enabling:

  • Automated Workflows - Create prompts for repetitive tasks and schedule them to run automatically
  • Consistent Reporting - Use standardized prompts to generate regular reports with consistent format and structure
  • Monitoring and Alerts - Design prompts that check for specific conditions and schedule them to run periodically

Example Use Cases​

  1. Daily Summary Reports - Create a prompt template for summarizing key metrics and schedule it to run every morning
  2. Content Generation - Design prompts for newsletter content and schedule weekly generation
  3. Data Analysis - Build prompts for analyzing specific data patterns and automate regular checks

To use prompts with scheduled jobs:

  1. Create and save your custom prompt in the Prompting section
  2. Navigate to Settings > Jobs
  3. Select your saved prompt when configuring the job
  4. Set the schedule and let ToothFairyAI handle the automation
Best Practice

Test your prompts manually with agents before using them in scheduled jobs to ensure they produce the expected results consistently.
