Prompts

The Prompts Tab (accessible via toolbar menu or Configuration) lets you customize how the plugin communicates with AI.

Persona

Define your research background and goals. This text is prepended to every prompt sent to AI.

Example Personas

• "As a literature professor, I focus on narrative techniques and literary analysis."
• "I'm researching 19th century European history, especially political movements."
• "As a student, I want simple explanations suitable for beginners."

The more specific your persona, the more relevant AI responses will be.

Tips

• Include your field of study or profession
• Mention your expertise level (beginner, expert, etc.)
• Describe what aspects you care about most
