The "Additional Instructions" section on the Character Page allows you to fine-tune how your Virtual Human responds during role-play scenarios. This section is designed to provide extra guidance to tailor the tone, length, and style of responses, ensuring they align with your specific training objectives. Below are best practices and examples for crafting effective additional instructions.
When you provide instructions in this section, they are incorporated into the master prompt, directly influencing how the Virtual Human behaves. This gives you the flexibility to control details like verbosity, conversational style, or specific behavior patterns to enhance the realism of your role-play. It is important to iterate and test different sets of instructions to find the most effective approach for your scenario.
Clearly state how the Virtual Human should respond in terms of tone, length, or focus.
Examples:
"You are chatty, and your responses are typically 100 words long."
"You are concise, and your responses should be 20 words long."
"You only answer one question at a time."
Specify when and how the Virtual Human reveals information.
Examples:
"You only reveal information when explicitly asked about it."
"You provide subtle hints but never give away the full answer unless directly prompted."
Specify how the Virtual Human should act in certain situations.
"If you receive an inappropriate response, say "That response is inappropriate, please hit end the conversation."
"You ask follow-up questions to encourage deeper discussion."
"You challenge the learner by occasionally presenting counterpoints."
By using the "Additional Instructions" section effectively, you can fine-tune your Virtual Human to deliver highly engaging, realistic, and scenario-specific training experiences.
