## AI Guidance

Define how AI should write your proposals.<br />
Describe your preferred proposal style:

* **Tone** - friendly, confident, expert, etc.
* **Structure** - format and organization
* **Focus areas** - client's needs, skills, results, etc.

Vollna uses this guidance to generate personalized Upwork proposals that match your style.

<Tip>
  Use **"Generate instructions"** button to automatically create a prompt based on your Upwork profile. This analyzes your profile, skills, and experience to generate tailored instructions.
</Tip>

<Warning>
  If you already have a prompt, generating new instructions will replace your current prompt. You'll be asked to confirm before replacing.
</Warning>

## Additional Context

Optional. Enable this toggle to provide extra information about yourself.

Include:

* Your background and experience
* Achievements and portfolio links
* GitHub, LinkedIn, or other profiles
* Any other information that helps AI create more personalized proposals

When enabled, this information is included in the AI's context when generating proposals.

## Client Questions

Optional. Configure how AI should answer client questions during the proposal process.

**Prompt**<br />
Set general guidelines for answering questions:

* Be direct and professional
* Focus on relevant experience
* Keep answers concise but informative
* Explain your process when asked

#### Targeted Answers

Create specific answers for common questions. Each answer can match questions using:

* **Exact Match** - Question must match exactly
* **Contains** - Question contains the text
* **StartsWith** - Question starts with the text

When a client question matches your targeted answer, AI uses your specific response. Otherwise, AI uses the general prompt guidelines.

## Template Structure

Optional. Define a specific template structure that AI should follow when writing cover letters.

When enabled, you can:

* Combine static text with AI-generated parts
* Control the exact format and content
* Enable A/B testing to compare two template versions

See [Template Structure](/docs/bidding/template-structure) for detailed information.

## Testing Your Prompt

Use the "Preview jobs" button to test your AI instructions with real job postings. This helps you:

* See how AI generates proposals
* Iterate on your prompts faster
* Check how it handles specific job requirements

The preview panel shows jobs from your filters or search results. Click any job to see how AI would generate a proposal with your current settings.
