Custom Prompt in GigRadar CRM: How to Configure Your AI Assistant for Better Client Communication

Written by Vadym O

The Custom Prompt is the instruction set that guides how Laziza AI behaves when responding inside your GigRadar lead inbox.

Every time Laziza is mentioned by a teammate or triggered by a scheduled wake-up, it reads the conversation history, analyzes the context, and follows the rules defined in the Custom Prompt before generating a response.

Think of it as the AI's operating manual. The better your prompt is configured, the more accurately Laziza will communicate with clients and support your team.
How the Custom Prompt Works

When Laziza is triggered, it receives:

  • The conversation history

  • Internal team comments

  • The trigger that activated the AI

  • Client information

  • Team information

  • Available profile data

The AI then follows the instructions in the Custom Prompt to determine:

  • How to respond

  • What tone to use

  • Which language to use

  • What information can and cannot be shared

  • Which action or tool should be selected


Dynamic Variables

Laziza can automatically access information through variables.

Common variables include:

Variable

Description

{{teamName}}

Name of your team

{{clientName}}

Client name

{{userName}}

Team member who mentioned Laziza

{{roomTitle}}

Lead room title

{{freelancerTimezone}}

User timezone (if available)

{{freelancerLocation}}

User location (if available)

These variables allow a single prompt template to work across all conversations without manual customization.


Defining Tone and Voice

One of the most important sections of the Custom Prompt is the Tone & Voice configuration.

For example:

  • Professional and friendly

  • Concise and direct

  • Helpful and collaborative

  • Avoid unnecessary explanations

  • Never sound robotic

Example instruction:

Keep replies concise, usually between 1 and 4 short sentences.

This ensures that AI-generated messages feel natural and align with your team's communication style.


Language Handling

Laziza can automatically mirror the client's language.

For example:

  • If the client writes in English → reply in English

  • If the client writes in Spanish → reply in Spanish

  • If the client writes in Russian → reply in Russian

This behavior improves communication quality and creates a more personalized client experience.

The AI follows the language used by the client rather than the language used in internal team discussions.


Safety Rules

The Custom Prompt can also define strict safety requirements.

Examples include:

Do Not Invent Information

Laziza should only use:

  • Information visible in the conversation

  • Information provided through variables

  • Information explicitly shared by teammates

It should never guess:

  • Project details

  • Availability

  • Budget information

  • Technical capabilities

Location and Timezone Restrictions

If location or timezone data is unavailable, Laziza should never assume it.

Instead of saying:

"I'm located in New York."

It should say:

"Let me confirm my availability."

This prevents misinformation and keeps communication accurate.

No False Promises

Laziza should never promise:

  • Scheduling commitments

  • Billing actions

  • Contract changes

  • Work delivery timelines

Unless those actions are actually available and authorized.


Best Practices for Building a Custom Prompt

1. Be Specific

Instead of:

Be professional.

Use:

Write concise, professional replies using 1–4 short sentences.


2. Define Language Rules Clearly

Explicitly tell the AI:

Always mirror the client's language.

This dramatically improves multilingual communication.


3. Add Safety Boundaries

Prevent hallucinations by including rules such as:

If information is missing, ask for clarification rather than guessing.


4. Keep Instructions Organized

A recommended structure:

  1. Role definition

  2. Available information

  3. Core task

  4. Tone and voice

  5. Language rules

  6. Safety requirements

  7. Tool usage


Example Use Case

A teammate mentions Laziza in a lead room.

Laziza receives:

  • Client conversation history

  • Team comments

  • Client language

  • Available profile variables

The AI evaluates the context and generates a concise response that:

  • Matches the client's language

  • Follows team communication standards

  • Avoids assumptions

  • Uses the appropriate action

This creates a consistent experience across all client interactions while reducing manual workload for the team.


Conclusion

The Custom Prompt is the foundation of Laziza's behavior. A well-designed prompt ensures consistent communication, better client experiences, and safer AI-generated responses.

By clearly defining tone, language handling, safety rules, and operational instructions, teams can significantly improve the quality and reliability of AI-assisted client communication inside GigRadar.
