Profile & Settings

General settings

All profile settings are in the dashboard under Settings → General.

Your name

Set your first and last name. Jeanette uses this to address you by name in conversation.

Assistant name

By default, your assistant is called Jeanette. You can rename her anything you like.

You: Change your name to Alex.

Jeanette: Done — I'll be Alex from now on. How can I help, [Your name]?

Or change it in the dashboard under Settings → General → Assistant name.

Timezone

Your timezone is used for:

• Scheduling one-time and recurring tasks
• Displaying times in responses
• Understanding relative time references ("tomorrow morning", "next Tuesday")

Set it in the dashboard or tell Jeanette directly:

You: My timezone is Europe/London.

Jeanette: Got it — I've set your timezone to Europe/London (GMT/BST).

Custom instructions

Add persistent instructions that apply to every conversation. Useful for setting a consistent tone or giving Jeanette important context about who you are.

Examples:

• "Always reply concisely — bullet points where possible."
• "I'm a software engineer. Use technical language freely."
• "I'm based in the UK — use British English and GBP for all prices."
• "Never send emails without asking me to confirm first."

Custom instructions are set in the dashboard under Settings → General → Custom instructions.

You can also set them conversationally:

You: From now on, always ask for confirmation before sending any email or calendar invite.

Jeanette: Noted — I'll always confirm before sending emails or calendar invites.

Updating via conversation

Most profile settings can be updated by just telling Jeanette:

You: I've moved to Berlin — update my location and timezone.

Jeanette: Updated — location set to Berlin, timezone set to Europe/Berlin (CET/CEST).

You: My last name is now Francis — I got married.

Jeanette: Congratulations! I've updated your last name to Francis.
