Add AIQT to your assistant.

Pick your assistant

Choose the AI you use

Choosing one hides the other assistants' steps, so you read only yours. Or leave it unset and scroll to read them all. One standard, intended for any assistant that accepts standing instructions.

AIQT is a standard your assistant is required to follow, not a guarantee that the model is perfect: results still depend on the platform and model, and you stay in charge. What it changes is what you can demand and check. Both files it ships as are prose instructions and reference material only, with no executable code and no network calls.

Chat assistant · Claude

Add AIQT to Claude

Last verified: pending

The recommended Claude method installs the Skill, so the full standard is available in any chat. Use the Skill (.zip) from Get AIQT.

1. Turn on code execution first. The Skills section does not appear without it. On the Free, Pro, and Max plans, open Settings, then Capabilities, and enable code execution and file creation. This is Claude's requirement for using any Skill; AIQT itself contains no code to execute. Install from a desktop browser; the mobile apps are not documented to support Skill upload.
2. Open Claude Skills. Go to your Skills page, click the + button, then choose + Create skill.
3. Click "Upload a skill".
4. Select the file. Choose the skill zip you downloaded.
5. Switch it on. Make sure that AIQT is switched on in your Skills list.

If Skills are turned off: the Projects fallback

If your plan or organization has Skills disabled, use a Project instead. Use the full instruction file, create a new Project named AIQT, upload the file to the Project's knowledge, and set the Project instructions to apply AIQT to every response.

Tell Claude to always use it. A Skill is loaded when Claude judges it relevant, and AIQT is a standing standard rather than task-specific. Open Settings, then your personal preferences, and add "Always apply the AIQT skill to every response." (or add the same line to a specific Project's instructions). With it, Claude is instructed to apply AIQT on each turn, which is what a standard is for.

Add AIQT to ChatGPT

On a paid plan, ChatGPT can use the same packaged Skill as Claude, kept in a Project or a custom GPT. If you cannot use Skills, attach the full instruction file to a chat instead. Get both from Get AIQT.

1. Create a place for it. On a paid plan, create a Project named AIQT, or a custom GPT named AIQT, to hold the standard in one dedicated spot.
2. Add the Skill or the file. Upload the Skill (.zip) where your plan accepts Skills; if it does not offer Skills, upload or paste the full instruction file into the Project knowledge or the custom GPT's instructions instead.
3. Turn it on for every response. At the top of the Project or custom GPT instructions, add "Always apply the AIQT instructions to every response."
4. No Project or Skills? Attach the full instruction file to an ordinary chat and ask ChatGPT to follow the AIQT instructions for the conversation.

ChatGPT has not yet been tested against AIQT, so treat these steps as method-accurate rather than a verified result; the evidence page carries the current test status. ChatGPT's settings labels also change from time to time, so if a name here does not match, look for the equivalent Skills, Projects, or custom-instructions setting.

Chat assistant · Gemini

Add AIQT to Gemini

Last verified: pending

Gemini uses a Gem, with the full instruction file pasted into it. You set this up once on a computer, and it is then available on mobile too. Get the full instruction file first.

1. Open Gemini on a computer. Go to gemini.google.com. Gems are created on the website, not in the mobile app.
2. Open Gems, and create one. In the left menu choose Gems, create a new Gem, and name it AIQT.
3. Paste the file in. Open aiqt-instructions.txt, copy all of it, and paste it into the Gem's instructions. Pasting the instructions in full is the recommended method, rather than relying on upload alone.
4. Save it. Save the Gem. You can also add aiqt-instructions.txt to the Gem's Knowledge section as well, if you want both.
5. Use it. Once saved on the website, the AIQT Gem is available in the mobile app too. Open the AIQT Gem whenever you want the standard applied.

Gemini has not yet been tested against AIQT, so treat these steps as method-accurate rather than a verified result; the evidence page carries the current test status.

Chat assistant · Copilot

Add AIQT to Copilot

Microsoft 365 Copilot uses an agent. Copilot caps an agent's instructions at 8000 characters, so paste the 8k file as the instructions and add the full file as reference. Get the files from Get AIQT.

1. Open Microsoft 365 Copilot. Open the agents panel and click New agent; when it offers to build the agent for you, click Skip to set it up yourself.
2. Name it AIQT.
3. Paste the 8k file in. Open the 8k instruction file, copy all of it, and paste it into the Instructions box.
4. Add the full file as reference. Find the option to add specific websites and add the full instruction file URL, https://aiqt.ai/downloads/aiqt-instructions.txt, as reference the agent can consult; the pasted instructions are what it follows.
5. Create and use it. Click Create, then select AIQT whenever you write.

Without an agent: the fallback

Open the full instruction file, copy its contents into a chat, and ask Copilot to follow the AIQT rules for the conversation.

Copilot has not yet been tested against AIQT, so treat these steps as method-accurate rather than a verified result; the evidence page carries the current test status.

Add AIQT to Copilot Studio

Last verified: pending

Copilot Studio takes AIQT as a Skill. Download the Skill (.zip) from Get AIQT and add it to your Copilot Studio agent.

1. Download the Skill (.zip). Get it from Get AIQT. The zip holds a single SKILL.md at its root, the layout Copilot Studio reads.
2. Open or create a Skills-capable agent. In Copilot Studio, use an existing agent that supports Skills, or create one if you do not have an eligible agent yet.
3. Add the Skill to that agent. Upload the zip in the agent's Skills; Copilot Studio reads the root SKILL.md and adds AIQT. Follow Microsoft's Copilot Studio documentation for the exact steps and any agent prerequisites.
4. Build and link. Continue building the agent as you would any other, and link it to any of your business processes per standard Copilot Studio practice.

The Skill matches the package shape Copilot Studio's Skill upload expects (a root-level SKILL.md); AIQT's behaviour on Copilot Studio has not yet been through conformance testing, so treat these steps as method-accurate rather than a verified result; the evidence page carries the current test status.

Add AIQT to any other assistant

This covers local models, API-based assistants, and any system that accepts standing guidance. Use the full instruction file.

1. Add the file where your assistant takes standing guidance: its custom instructions, a system prompt, project knowledge, or an attached reference file.
2. Tell it to always apply AIQT: "Use the AIQT instructions for every response unless I explicitly tell you not to."

That instruction line is what keeps AIQT applied to every response. Without it, the assistant may follow the standard only when it happens to judge it relevant.

Two quick checks. First, a sanity check: in a new chat, ask "Which standard are you applying, and what does it require of you?" A set-up assistant names AIQT and summarizes the ordering: Accuracy, Integrity, Quality, and Trust first, then Progress, Speed, and Cost. This shows the text loaded; it is not proof the assistant will follow it.

Second, a behaviour check, which matters more: give it a task where the standard should change what it does. Ask it for "the exact default timeout of a library you have not shown it." Applying AIQT, it should say it cannot know rather than inventing a number. If it recites the ordering but fabricates the answer, the text is present but not being followed: repeat the setup steps above, and check that the Skill or file is in place and your always-on instruction is set.

Full control

How to remove it

To turn AIQT off, undo it in each place you set it up: remove or disable the Skill, Gem, or agent; delete any always-on instruction you added (in your personal preferences or a project's instructions); and remove any AIQT file, Project, or space you created for it. Once nothing you added remains, your assistant is back to its default behaviour.

Beyond chat

Writing code?

The development assistant brings the same standard into your repository: you give your coding assistant a short setup prompt, it fetches the pack from GitHub, and a wizard walks you through the rest. A team can also share one standard, intended to reach across the assistants it uses, on the Teams & Enterprise path.
