Advices regarding AI prompt (jlai.lu)

Hi everyone, I've been able to get for free a one year subscription at perplexity. It offers to create an AI agent I can save (not sure proper wording, not English native) mainly to help me maintaining, fixing or creating some automations, dashboard items, ... To do so I need a prompt that will tell exactly how it should react but since i never really dig into AI yet, I'm looking for some guidance to set it up correctly

Since I almost never used ai, I didn't know that people gate keep their ai knowledge so thanks for letting me know. I honestly thought it wasn't a big deal. Also, I didn't ask for someone to create it but asked for guidance like tips to not miss important details.

was assuming it was something very general and not specific to my HA like " you will act as a home assistant specialist giving me step by step guide to create automation, dashboard elements..." But by the feel I get from your answer, I guess I'm wrong...

Building an interface for HA of any kind is a big lift. You have to translate every inference to a set of applicable actions in HA. It's like building an entire AI. You can't just say "Here's some natural language, figure out how to do the thing".

Nobody is gatekeeping, it's just a larger task than you're seeming to understand. Like "Can someone build a new engine for my car?"

I obviously don't realise how much work that is but thanks to you, I started one by asking AI as you recommended (didn't even think about it, that's shows how much I'm new to this :D). It isn't personalised yet to my HA but I think I'm on the right track.
