Profile

Profile Information

Update your personal details including First Name, Last Name, Company, and Phone. Your email address is displayed but cannot be changed directly.

Email Address: For security reasons, email addresses cannot be changed self-service. To update your email, contact the Ask Sage team at support@asksage.ai.

Custom Intro Prompt

The Custom Intro Prompt field (800 character limit) is added to the system prompt of every chat to personalize responses — tone, role, and preferences. It is saved to your account and applied to all new and existing conversations until you change or clear it.

Important: Avoid including sensitive or mission-specific details in the Custom Intro Prompt — it will influence every response across all chats. Use Clear prompt to remove it at any time.

Change Password

Scroll down within the Profile tab to access the Change Password section and update your account password.

The Security tab lets you register additional authentication methods to protect your account. Three options are available:

CAC / Smart Card

Register your Common Access Card or smart card for certificate-based authentication. Automatically enables CUI dataset classification
