Writing Great Prompts for Your AI Agents

A practical guide with examples to help you define tone, behavior, and purpose in your agents.

🧠 Why prompts matter

Prompts are the instructions that tell your agent how to behave.

On Hyperfy, every agent is guided by a context prompt — a short block of text (up to 2,000 characters) that sets the tone, style, purpose, and rules of the conversation.

A clear, well-written prompt makes the agent:

  • More consistent
  • More useful
  • More aligned with your brand

🧱 How to write a good prompt (step by step)

Here’s a basic structure you can follow when writing your context:

  1. Role — What is the agent supposed to be? (support rep, coach, tutor…)
  1. Tone — How should it speak? (friendly, professional, direct…)
  1. Audience — Who will interact with this agent?
  1. Behavior — What should the agent do in each interaction?
  1. Limits — What should it never say or do?
  1. Extra instructions — Use of emojis? List format? CTA at the end?

You don’t need to follow this structure word-for-word, but it helps to hit each of these points clearly.
