Personalization

Personalization lets Filo understand how you work through five editable files. These files guide how your agent behaves, handles email, manages tasks, remembers preferences, and uses your personal context.

Your agent can update these rules as it learns from your behavior, and you can also edit them manually at any time.


What Personalization includes

Agent behavior.mdDefines how your Filo Agent should think, respond, prioritize instructions, and handle conflicting guidance.
Email triage.mdTells Filo how to classify, prioritize, summarize, and act on incoming emails.
To-do manage.mdGuides how Filo should extract, organize, follow up on, and update tasks.
Memory rules.mdControls what Filo should remember, ignore, or treat as temporary context.
User information.mdStores stable personal context such as your role, preferences, working style, and frequently used details.

How to update Personalization

Ask your agent

Tell Filo what you want to change in chat. For example, you can say:

  • "Remember that I prefer concise replies."
  • "Always treat invoices as finance-related."

Edit manually

Open Personalization from Settings, choose a file, and directly edit the rules.


Previous Customize AI instructions

If you previously used Customize AI, your original instructions are still available. They are not deleted.

Click Copy Original to copy your previous instructions and reuse them in the new Personalization files.


Tips for better personalization

  • Be specific about behaviorInstead of "write better replies," say "write concise, polite replies under 120 words."
  • Put rules in the right fileUse Email triage.md for email handling, To-do manage.md for tasks, and Agent behavior.md for general agent behavior.
  • Keep long-term preferences separate from one-time requestsPersonalization is best for rules you want Filo to keep using in the future.
