Custom Instructions

Tell the AI what you want

Add custom prompts to guide how Moniker analyzes and names your files. Your rules, your names.

How It Works

Custom instructions are passed directly to the AI when analyzing your files. Use them to:

Focus on specific details (people, locations, objects)

Ignore certain elements (backgrounds, timestamps)

Add context the AI wouldn't otherwise know

Use specific naming conventions or terminology

Example Instructions

For Family Photos

"Focus on identifying family members. The dog's name is Max. We live in Portland."

Result: max-and-kids-playing-backyard-portland.jpg

For Product Screenshots

"These are screenshots of our app called Moniker. Focus on which feature or screen is shown."

Result: moniker-style-editor-settings-panel.png

For Voice Memos

"These are meeting notes. Include the main topic and any action items mentioned."

Result: meeting-q4-budget-review-action-items.m4a

For Technical Documents

"Use technical terminology. Include version numbers if present. Prefix with document type."

Result: spec-api-authentication-v2.3.pdf
