3. Prompt Section
In the Prompt section, you will specify all the traits, behaviors, and tasks of the AI Character.
The section is broken down into two tabs: Character Prompts and Plain Text. Across both tabs, you will find the same information, only displayed differently. Writing in one tab will be reflected with the proper formatting in the other.

Prompts in Wonda are organized into categories, as grouping information helps improve Large Language Model (LLM) performance. In the Prompt section, you will notice that this prompt–see the Expanding category to view description image–has five categories: About This Simulation, The Character You Will Play, Context of the Discussion, Discussion Steps, Extra Knowledge.
To view the details–Description–for a prompt category, click the down arrow, as displayed in Expanding category to view description. Both Category titles and Descriptions can be edited.
