# Tell the assistant about your work

> Set audience, topics, language, experience and writing preferences.

Canonical: https://ownpost.fyi/docs/guides/personal-preferences

## Before you begin

A signed-in workspace. This can be done before connecting an agent.

## Steps

1. Open Assistant → Personal preferences and choose Edit personal preferences.

2. Fill Who do you want to reach?, Topics you write about, Your real experience and What are you working on? with facts your assistant may use.

3. Use writing style and examples for writing rules; use Personalize notifications for Telegram categories and quiet hours.

## A practical example

Describe your audience as independent developers shipping their first paid product, list subjects you know first-hand, and add one current project. Specific context gives the assistant useful boundaries for examples and claims.

## Check the result

Future assistant requests use the saved context without you repeating it each time.

## Troubleshooting

Watch Personal preferences saved before requesting work. A remote revision preserves dirty fields and shows a conflict; copy important edits before Load saved preferences. Saving context does not rewrite previously prepared content.
