What are user rules?
User rules are short, user-defined instructions that Olly applies automatically when generating responses. They can be used to:- Control response behavior.
- Provide contextual constraints for investigations or analysis.
- Enforce consistent assumptions across conversations.
- “The label ‘application’ in my logs refers to the customer name.”
- “When I ask about ‘chats’, use custom metrics.”
- “Only analyze production environment data.”
- “Highlight error spikes over latency regressions.”
How user rules work
- Rules are written in plain text.
- Each rule is stored per user.
- Rules persist across sessions.
- Olly automatically takes them into account in every interaction.
