# Change how the AI summary is written

Edit a view's prompt recipe to set the tone, audience and length of its AI summary or digest, and dismiss a bad version.

A prompt recipe gives Brev standing directions for a view's AI summary, such as who reads it and how long it should be.

Who can do this: roles that can publish views to the org (Owners and Admins by default), and team admins and owners on their team's view. An Org Admin must first turn on **Prompt Recipes** in [Settings → AI & agents → Capabilities](https://help.brev.io/settings-product/#brev-ai). It's off by default. See [Roles & permissions](https://help.brev.io/roles-and-permissions/#matrix).

## Edit the recipe {#edit}

1. On Organization or a team view, click **Summary**.
2. In the panel's toolbar, click the sliders icon (Edit generation recipe). The Prompt Recipe dialog opens.
3. Under **Prompt**, write your directions, up to 2,000 characters.
4. To set the style, expand **Advanced** and pick a **Tone**, **Audience** and **Length**. Default keeps Brev's standard style.
5. Click **Try prompt** to preview the result. Each preview runs a real generation and uses AI credits.
6. Click **Save**. To publish the preview now as well, click **Save as version** first.

- **Tone**: Default, Direct, Encouraging or Formal.
- **Audience**: Default, My Team, Company-wide or Leadership.
- **Length**: Default, Brief, Standard or Detailed.

> The dialog closes. The next summary follows your recipe. Summaries already written aren't rewritten.

## Dismiss a bad version {#dismiss}

1. In the summary panel, use the arrows to show the version you want gone.
2. Click the trash icon in the toolbar (Dismiss this version for everyone).
3. Click **Dismiss version**. The previous version takes its place.

Dismissing works with Prompt Recipes off too.

## Edit the digest's recipe {#digest-recipe}

The digest on Organization and team views has its own recipe, separate from the summary's. The same people can edit it. To change it:

1. In the footer of the Digest's **Insights** card, click **Adjust recipe**. Once a recipe is saved, the link shows its text instead. On a narrow card, it's in the card's ⋯ menu.
2. Write your directions under **Prompt**, and set the style under **Advanced** if you want.
3. Pick a section to preview: **Summary**, **Highlights**, **Blockers** or **Tactics**. Click **Try prompt**. Each preview uses AI credits.
4. To publish that section's preview now, click **Save section**.
5. Click **Save**.

> **Tip: Success check**
>
> The dialog closes, and the Adjust recipe link shows your recipe's text. The next digest follows it.
