#### Managing Starters

* **Reorder:** Drag starters to change their order
* **Edit:** Click on a starter to modify it
* **Delete:** Remove custom starters you no longer need
* **System starters** cannot be deleted, only hidden

#### Best Practices

**Writing effective prompts:**

* Be specific about the assistant's role
* Include examples of desired output
* Define the tone and style
* Mention any constraints or rules

**Example custom starter:**

```
Title: Product Review Assistant

Prompt: You are a product review assistant. Help users create 
detailed product review videos. Always include: product name, 
key features, pros and cons, and a final recommendation. 
Keep reviews honest and balanced.
```

### How Starters Work

#### When You Click a Starter

1. **New conversation starts** with the starter's system prompt
2. **Chat is renamed** to match the starter (e.g., "Color Grading Assistant")
3. **Assistant is configured** with specialized behavior
4. **You can begin** using the assistant immediately

#### Switching Starters

* **Start a new chat** to use a different starter
* **Previous conversations** retain their starter configuration
* **You can't change** the starter of an existing conversation

### Tips for Using Starters

1. **Start with system starters** - They're optimized for common tasks
2. **Create custom starters** for repetitive workflows
3. **Use descriptive titles** - Makes it easy to find the right starter
4. **Iterate on prompts** - Refine custom starters based on results
5. **Share starters** - Copy prompts to share with team members

### Troubleshooting

#### "Starter doesn't appear"

* Check you're on a new or empty chat
* Verify the starter is enabled in Settings
* Try refreshing the panel

#### "Starter behavior is wrong"

* Edit the starter prompt in Settings
* Be more specific about desired behavior
* Include examples in the prompt

#### "Can't create custom starter"

* Check you're in Settings → Conversation Starters
* Ensure you've filled in both title and prompt
* Try saving again

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.chatvideopro.com/getting-started/interface-overview/conversation-starters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
