Create personalized AI assistants with custom instructions, knowledge files, and unique personalities tailored to your exact needs
Custom Shannon is Shannon AI's powerful AI personalization platform that lets you create domain-specific AI assistants. Unlike generic chatbots, Custom Shannon allows you to define exactly how your AI assistant should behave, what knowledge it should have access to, and how it should interact with users.
Whether you're building a specialized coding assistant, a customer support agent, a creative writing partner, or a domain expert for your business, Custom Shannon provides the tools to create AI experiences perfectly aligned with your requirements.
Define your AI's personality, expertise, response style, and behavioral constraints with detailed system prompts.
Upload documents that your AI can reference - product manuals, research papers, codebases, and more.
Share your creations publicly or keep them private. Discover and use Custom Shans built by others.
Test your Custom Shannon in real-time before deploying. Iterate on instructions until perfect.
The heart of Custom Shannon is the system instructions - a powerful way to define your AI assistant's core behavior. System instructions are injected into every conversation, ensuring consistent responses across all interactions.
Effective system instructions typically include:
Upload domain-specific documents that your AI can reference during conversations. This transforms your Custom Shannon from a general assistant into a true expert on your specific content.
Maximum file size: 10 MB per knowledge file
Set a custom opening message that your AI sends when a new conversation begins. This helps set expectations, provide context, and guide users on how to interact with your Custom Shannon.
Upload a custom avatar or icon to give your Custom Shannon a unique visual identity. Icons are automatically resized to 256x256 pixels for optimal display.
Custom Shannon unlocks countless possibilities for personalized AI experiences. Here are some popular use cases:
Create language-specific experts that follow your coding standards and best practices.
Build support agents trained on your product documentation and FAQs.
Design creative writing partners with specific styles, genres, or editorial guidelines.
Create subject-matter experts that teach using your curriculum and learning materials.
Build destination experts with knowledge of specific regions, attractions, and local tips.
Create specialized consultants for legal, medical, financial, or technical domains.
Upload datasets and create AI assistants that can analyze and explain your specific data.
Build internal AI assistants trained on company processes, policies, and documentation.
Custom Shannon includes powerful community features that let you share your creations and discover what others have built.
Every Custom Shannon starts as private. With a single toggle, you can make it public - sharing it with the entire Shannon AI community. Public Custom Shans appear in the Discover section where other users can try them out.
Track how often your public Custom Shans are used. Usage statistics help you understand engagement and refine your creations based on community interest.
Browse Custom Shans created by the community. The Discover section lets you filter between:
When creating public Custom Shans, write clear descriptions and choose descriptive names. This helps users understand what your AI assistant does and increases discoverability.
