•The prompt fills tone with "professional" by default. Change it before you send, or the answer is written for that case.
•To steer the Personalized GPT Assistant, add one line after the prompt about your situation: your level, your goal and anything to avoid.
•Say what you already know and where you got stuck, so the explanation starts at the right level.
