Allow user-level custom instructions for AI assistant

Overview

Users would benefit from being able to set user-level custom instructions for the AI assistant, similar to the custom instructions feature in ChatGPT. This would allow for more consistent, personalized responses across chats without needing to restate preferences each time.

Challenge

Currently, there is no way to automatically include personal instructions in every new chat. This leads to an inconsistent user experience, as users must repeatedly specify their preferences (such as tone, verbosity, or style guide adherence) for each interaction. This pain point makes efficient drafting and editing more difficult and reduces the effectiveness of the assistant for users.

Proposed Solution

Introduce a feature that allows users to set custom instructions at the user level. Include an option (e.g., a checkbox) in personal settings to automatically apply these instructions to every new chat session by default. This would enable the assistant to consistently follow the user's preferred guidelines and style, improving the overall user experience and efficiency.
