Personalizing your assistant during setup Guide
How a nickname, occupation, and a few personal details shape your assistant's replies — and why every one of them is optional.

During onboarding, Praxivara offers a short step where you can tell your assistant a little about yourself. These details help it address you naturally and give more relevant answers from your very first conversation. Every field on this step is optional, and you can change any of it later.
What you can share
The personalization step includes three simple fields. You can fill in all of them, some of them, or none at all.
Nickname
The name you'd like your assistant to call you. If you'd rather be addressed as "Sam" than "Samuel," this is where you say so. If you leave it blank, your assistant simply uses the name from your profile.
Occupation
What you do for work. Sharing your role gives your assistant helpful context, so its suggestions, drafts, and summaries lean toward what's useful in your line of work rather than generic advice.
Anything else it should know
A free-form note for anything that helps your assistant serve you better — how you like to communicate, the tools or clients you work with, priorities you care about, or preferences you'd otherwise have to repeat. Think of it as a short briefing you only write once.
How these details tailor your assistant
The information you provide here becomes standing context your assistant keeps in mind across conversations. In practice, that means:
- It greets and refers to you by the nickname you chose.
- Its answers, drafts, and recommendations reflect your role and the context you shared.
- You spend less time restating who you are and what you need at the start of each chat.
The more relevant context you give, the more your assistant's responses feel tailored to you rather than generic.
Tip: Keep the "anything else" note focused on things you'd want reflected in most conversations. A few clear sentences work better than a long list of one-off details.
Everything here is optional
You can skip this step entirely and head straight to your workspace. Your assistant works fully without any of these details — personalization only makes its replies feel more relevant to you. There's no requirement to fill in a nickname, an occupation, or the free-form note to continue setup.
Changing your details later
Your personalization details aren't locked in at signup. You can update or remove them at any time from your settings.
- Open the account menu and go to your account settings.
- Find the personalization details — your nickname, occupation, and the "anything else" note.
- Edit any field, then save your changes.
Updated details apply going forward, so it's easy to refine them as your work or preferences change.
Frequently asked questions
If you skipped this step during onboarding, nothing is lost — you can add these details whenever you like from your account settings. And if you'd prefer to keep things minimal, leaving them blank is a perfectly valid choice; your assistant is ready to help either way.
