# Comprehend AI Scribe: Prompting AI by Manually Writing Your Own Instructions

## What are instructions?

Instructions are where you guide the AI. Write to the AI as if you were telling a real scribe how you want your notes written. **It performs best with explicit direction and short sentences.**

## **Refining Your Instructions**

You can change or add to instructions as you see fit. You can instruct the AI on how you want a note written, ***just as you would communicate your preferences to a real person if they were writing your notes***.
