AI Agent: Increase the character limit for the Instruction field to 20,000 characters
Attia Saleh
Business Problem
Currently, AI Agent instructions support up to 10,000 characters. While this is an improvement from the previous 5,000-character limit, it can still restrict users who need to define:
- Detailed persona and brand voice guidelines
- Complex behavioral rules and escalation logic
- Business-hours-based responses
- Edge-case handling (e.g. file failures, coexistence scenarios, channel-specific behavior)
- Compliance or regulatory messaging requirements
As AI Agents are increasingly used as first-line support, users need more space to accurately reflect real operational workflows and brand communication standards.
Desired Outcome
Increase the AI Agent instruction character limit from 10,000 to 20,000 characters.
This will allow users to:
- Create richer, more precise AI personas
- Reduce ambiguity in AI responses
- Centralize complex logic within the instruction set instead of relying on workarounds
- Improve AI response quality, consistency, and alignment with business needs

Character extension for AI agent instructions
Andrea Samaniego
At the moment the characters allowed to give instructions to the AI agent are summarized to 10.000, it would be good to have greater capacity, at least 20.000 so that the answers are as accurate as possible.

There shouldn't really be a limit for instructions but if you must have one double it as it's very clear that in order to create more complex ai agents and to the ability you need to be able to cover multiple scenarios specifically it goes over that arbitrary 10k char limit nearly every time I even use gpt to ensure trimming of instructions and this is still a consistent issue I look forward to this being updated in the platform (seems like it would be very easy to accomplish) Please Please do ASAP

We are struggling with the character limit of the AI agent. We request to increase the limit so we can add all the dos and don'ts in one prompt.

Hi, my AI Agent Instructions domain is getting stuck at the 10.000 character limit. I ask that this limit be increased so that I can add text in one piece. Can you make referrals for this?

The AI Agent 10,000 character limit puts our hands on our feet. It falls short, please increase this

AI Agent: Increased Character Limit in the Instructions Field

Business Problem:
Currently, the AI Agent on platform Respond.io has a maximum limit of 10.000 characters in the instructions field. While this limit may be sufficient for simple scenarios, it becomes restrictive for medium and large companies that operate with multiple services, complex flows, and different service rules.
In practice, this limit prevents the construction of complete, well-structured and properly contextualized prompts. Alternatively, the automatic optimization feature ends up being used, but it often alters the original logic of the prompt, resulting in a loss of coherence, reduced accuracy of answers, and increased rework effort.
This scenario directly impacts:
- The quality of interactions with customers
- The operational efficiency of the teams
- The scalability of using the AI Agent in complex environments
Desired Outcome:
An increase in the character limit in the IA Agent instructions field (15.000 or 20.000) is requested, allowing greater flexibility in defining rules, contexts, and conversational flows.
With an extended limit, it will be possible to:
- Build prompts that are more complete, structured and aligned with business needs
- Reduce the dependence on automatic optimization while preserving the original logic
- Improve the consistency and accuracy of agent responses
- Create more robust agents capable of handling multiple scenarios and services
- Raise the quality of the end customer experience

Yes please.

at least to 15000 would be great...
