Full Feature Guide

Disclaimer Banner

The Disclaimer Banner puts a clear warning at the top of your profile.

What it is
A red strip with an exclamation-point triangle. Use it to clarify limits—e.g., “Information only. Not medical advice.”

Key facts

  • 400-character max keeps it concise.

  • Dismissible – visitors can click ×, but it returns on every page reload.

  • Visible at the top – appears above any other content.

How to set it up

  1. Click Add next to Disclaimer.

  2. Type your message (watch the character counter).

  3. A green check in the bottom right corner of the page confirms success.

  4. Hit Done editing when you're finished.

  5. To change or remove it later, click EditRemove or update text → wait for green check → Done editing.

Best practice: Keep wording direct and concise, so users read it instead of skipping or skimming.

Basic Profile Information

Customize the essentials that appear at the top of your Delphi page.

What it includes

  • Profile photo (JPG)

  • First + last name

  • Custom handle for your unique URL

  • Headline (up to 120 characters)

  • Organization badges with logos (drag to reorder)

How to edit

  1. Click the pencil next to your name from the profile page, or click this link.

  2. On the Basics screen:

    • Upload a JPG headshot (square crops work best).

    • Type your first and last name exactly as you want them shown. Remember, Delphi only allows representations of real people on this platform, not fictional avatars or business representations!

    • Choose a short handle—this becomes delphi.ai/yourhandle. It's the link you'll get to share with the world!

    • Write a headline that sums up your role or expertise.

  3. Add organizations:

    • Click Add next to Organizations from the Basics screen → upload its logo image → enter the organization name → Save.

    • Drag badges to set display order. The top badge will appear closest to your name on the profile page.

  4. Edit or delete organizations:

    • From the Basics screen, click Edit next to the organization to change its logo or name, then Save.

    • Click the trash bin to remove a badge, then confirm Yes to delete.

Tip: Keep only the affiliations that matter most; trimming clutter helps visitors focus on your expertise.

Description (Bio)

Write a longer biography that expands on your headline.

What it is
A text block (up to 1,500 characters) that sits beneath your header. Only the first lines show by default; visitors click view more to read the rest. Delphi also uses this text to train your digital mind.

Key facts

  • Length – 1,500-character limit.

  • Expandable – collapsed by default for a cleaner page.

  • Training data – the only profile field (other than certain socials) that feeds your Delphi’s knowledge.

How to edit

  1. Click Edit in the Description section.

  2. Type, paste, or edit your bio. We'll automatically generate one for you based on your LinkedIn, but feel free to change it up! Use short paragraphs for easy scanning.

  3. Look for the green check in the bottom right corner of the screen.

  4. Hit Done editing when you're finished.

  5. Preview the collapsed view to ensure the opening lines hook readers.

Tip: Lead with your mission first! It shows even when collapsed.

Social Media Links

Connect your audience to the channels where you share the most.

What it is
A link-tree row of icons—LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, plus any custom URL.

Key facts

  • Quick hover preview shows each handle or URL directly from the profile page.

  • Add, edit, delete from one dropdown menu.

  • Training data – Delphi automatically learns from X, YouTube, TikTok, and website links (not from Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook).

How to manage links

  1. Click plus (➕) to see a dropdown menu from the profile page (or Edit to see socials on their own page).

  2. Choose a platform from the list.

  3. Paste the URL or enter the handle.

  4. Click Update. A green check in the bottom right corner confirms success.

  5. To change a link later, click Edit, hit the pencil next to the social media site, and then Update.

  6. To remove a link, click Edit, hit the trash bin and confirm Yes to delete.

Tip: Share only the channels you actively maintain; broken or silent accounts erode trust.

Initial Message

Greet visitors with a short line that sparks conversation.

What it is
A 400-character welcome that your Delphi sends (or speaks) the first time someone visits. After a user’s first chat, the message personalizes based on past exchanges.

Key facts

  • Used everywhere – shows in text chats, spoken in voice and video calls.

  • One-time intro – auto-replaces with a dynamic greeting after the first session, but sometimes repeats for users in later sessions too.

  • Short and warm – best results under 250 characters.

How to edit

  1. Click Edit in the Initial Message section.

  2. Type your greeting. Aim for a question or invitation (“What challenge can I help you solve today?”).

  3. A green check confirms the change in the bottom right corner of the screen.

  4. Press Done editing when finished.

  5. Preview the written version or listen to the spoken version and adjust tone if needed.

Tip: Start with a friendly verb - “Welcome,” “Let’s,” or “Ask me about…” - to entice users to reply.

Suggested Questions

Guide newcomers with ready-to-click prompts that launch a rich conversation.

What it is
A list of sample questions shown on your profile. Visitors tap one and it sends instantly—perfect for users who don’t know where to start.

Key facts

  • Two columnsYour Questions (private bank) and Visible to Users (public).

  • Drag-and-drop – move prompts between columns or reorder in place.

  • Unlimited drafts – store extras in Your Questions for later testing.

How to manage questions

  1. Click Edit in the Suggested Questions section.

  2. Drag a prompt into Visible to Users to publish it, or drag a prompt into Your Questions to remove it from your Delphi page and store it in your question bank.

  3. Add new: click Add Question, type it in, then Add. It'll appear in Visible to Users by default.

  4. Edit a prompt: hit the pencil, change the text, Save.

  5. Delete: click the trash bin.

  6. Use the Preview button to see how the list looks on mobile and desktop.

Tip: Use the "Popular Questions" widget from the home page to refine prompts to get the most engagement.

Best Practices

Keep Your Description Short and Scannable

A concise bio helps visitors absorb key facts quickly.

  • Aim for 2–3 sentences per paragraph. Long blocks lose attention.

  • Lead with your mission. Put the most important sentence first.

  • Use plain words and active verbs. Skip jargon.

  • Trim fluff. Every word should add value or context.

  • Preview collapsed view. Ensure the opening lines still make sense.

Clear, tight writing respects your reader’s time and showcases Delphi’s commitment to clarity.

Craft an Engaging Initial Message

Your greeting sets the tone for every new visitor.

  • Ask a helpful question. Invite users to share their goal (“What’s your biggest hiring hurdle today?”).

  • Highlight value fast. Mention one concrete way you can help.

  • Match your voice. Use words you’d say in person; avoid corporate buzzwords.

  • Stay brief. 150–250 characters is plenty.

  • Test on a peer. Send it to a friend—if they want to reply, you nailed it.

A thoughtful opener encourages users to dive in and trust your guidance.

Design Suggested Questions from the User’s Perspective

Put yourself in the visitor’s shoes and phrase prompts as “I” questions.

  • Start with “How do I…?” or “What’s the best way for me to…?”

  • Reflect real pains. Scan past chats or surveys for common struggles.

  • Keep them concrete. Specific topics beat broad themes (“How do I price my new SaaS?” > “Tell me about business”).

  • Use plain language. Avoid insider jargon that newcomers won’t know.

  • Limit to 5–7 live prompts. Too many choices overwhelm.

Empathy-driven questions reduce friction and spark deeper conversations.

Review and Refresh Suggested Questions Regularly

Your visitor patterns shift—keep your prompts in sync.

  • Check chat analytics weekly. Note which questions get clicked most by using the "Popular Questions" widget.

  • Retire low performers. Drag them back to Your Questions for future testing.

  • Promote rising stars. Move high-engagement prompts higher in the list.

  • Experiment often. Swap in two new questions each month and track results.

  • Document changes. Keep a simple log so you know what works over time.

Iterating on prompts shows users you’re listening and evolving.

Troubleshooting/FAQs

Do social media links train my Delphi?

Not all social media links will train your Delphi. Only specific links feed training data automatically - the rest you have to manually upload (see the Mind page for instructions on that!).

  • Included: X (Twitter), YouTube, TikTok, and any website links you add.

  • Excluded: LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook stay private.

  • Profile fields used: Your Description (bio) also trains Delphi.

  • Everything else: Headline, initial message, suggested questions, and disclaimer are not used for training.
