You can teach AI your rules once, with good and bad examples.

Write down your voice, your rules, and examples of what good and bad look like. Save it as a Koubou termRoleWho the AI should be for a task. It holds a voice, rules, good and bad examples, attached knowledge, and, if you want, its own model., and use it on any task instead of explaining it again.

Stop correcting the same mistakes.

You've told the AI to stop using "delve." You've told it your paragraphs are short. You've told it who the reader is. Then you open a new chat and tell it again.

A Role keeps all of that in one place. Examples help most: showing the AI a paragraph you like and one you don't tells it more than a page of rules.

What goes in a Role.

  1. Who it is and what it is for

    An identity and an objective, like "You edit a weekly newsletter for small business owners."

  2. Your voice

    A style guide, plus good and bad writing examples so the AI can see the difference.

  3. Rules and guardrails

    Things it should always do, and things it must never do, as separate lists you can add to over time.

  4. Knowledge

    Attach Koubou termArtifactFacts you reuse, like a product sheet, a bio, or your pricing. Each detail has its own on and off switch., Koubou termNoteA page for research and ideas that sits outside your documents. It can float next to your draft and has its own AI chat., or documents the Role should always know about.

  5. A model, if you want

    Give the Role its own model, or leave it to use your Koubou termActive modelThe model Koubou uses when nothing else names one..

Compared with ChatGPT and Claude.

In ChatGPT or Claude

  • ChatGPT has one custom instructions box for every chat.
  • Custom GPTs and Projects each get their own instructions, as one block of text.
  • There is no set place for good and bad examples, so they get mixed in with everything else.

In Koubou

  • Voice, rules, guardrails, and examples each have their own section.
  • Keep as many Roles as you want and pick one per task.
  • Improve a Role once, and every task that uses it gets the change.
