Typically, this is used to pass session or specific user data. For example, if user is already signed in on your application, and you know their email, there is no reason for the agent to as it again. So, you can simply add in additional instructions: "The current user's email is [myemail@example.com](mailto:myemail@example.com) please use this to submit all customer support tickets" ## Usage ### Widgets To use **additional instructions** in widgets, simply add them in the **third parameter** in the ChatComponent \*\*\*\*`init()` function like below. ```html theme={null} My Travel Planner ``` Here's an example of the **Widget** response based on this input: widget-screenshot.png ### CustomGPTs To use **additional instruction with CustomGPTs**, add a **script tag** to handle your instructions or dynamic data to the **Custom GPT**.
