The initial prompt overrides the initial message and instructs the AI agent on what to write as the first message. This feature allows for a wide range of creative use cases and variations.

Key Features:

Standardized Messages

Easily write standardized messages for consistent communication or tell your agent it has the freedom to write a unique message each time.

Markdown Support

Take advantage of Markdown formatting to create rich text content with ease. Format your text with bold, italics, links, lists, and more to enhance the readability and presentation of your messages.

UI Engine

Utilize our powerful UI engine to create interactive elements like buttons, carousels, and cards. These components are perfect for building dynamic and engaging interfaces that enhance user experience.

User Engagement

Leverage interactive elements to boost user engagement. Ideal for conversation starters, lead capture forms, and various user interaction scenarios, helping you to better connect with your audience.
Max characters for the initial prompt is 10,000.
Enabling the UI engine allows your agent to create interactive elements, which may result in increased credit usage. For more details, please refer to the Credit usage page for more information.
