DuckDuckGo now lets you customize the responses of its Duck.ai chatbots

DuckDuckGo is making it easier to tweak the system prompts of the AI models you can access through its browser.

For the uninitiated, system prompts are a set of instructions given to a chat bot at the start of a conversation to guide things along. Both Anthropic and OpenAI give users a way to customize the responses of their respective chat bots, but if you don't know where to look for those settings, they can be tricky to find. Whatever customization you add is appended to the default system prompt for each model you chat with, meaning you don't need to set them independently of one another.
