You're not the only one starting now
In an average four-week period during the March quarter of 2026, 31% of Australians aged 65 and over used AI tools, according to Roy Morgan, compared with 58% of all Australians aged 14 and over. Plenty of people are just getting started, and that's a perfectly good time to set things up the way you like them.
What an AI profile is
It's a few lines about you and how you like answers. You put it in the AI's settings, or paste it at the start of a new chat. Check that the assistant follows it. If you put it in a chat rather than saved settings, paste it again when starting another chat.
What to put in yours
- Where you are: "I live in Australia", so prices, spelling and services make sense.
- How you like answers: "short", "step by step", "plain English, no jargon".
- What you use it for: emails, recipes, travel, understanding letters.
- Anything that helps you read: "use short paragraphs", "number the steps".
What to leave out.
Never put passwords, bank details, your Medicare number, health information or other people's details in a profile or a chat. If an AI or a message asks for them, don't give them.
Let Uncook write it for you
If you've already had a few chats, Uncook's AI Profile can write the profile from them. On the ChatGPT page, click the Uncook icon and pick AI Profile. You get a short profile of how you like to work. Read it, change anything you want, then copy it into the AI's settings, or paste it at the start of a chat.
AI Profile — Free with an account, within its own reading and usage limits. It uses no tasks from your balance.
Questions people ask
Do I need to know anything technical? No. Uncook adds a button in Chrome. You click it on the chat page and choose AI Profile.
Can I use the same profile in Gemini and ChatGPT? Yes. It's plain text, so you can paste it into any AI.
Can I change it later? Yes, any time. It's just text.

We don't keep the conversations you bring. When you click Send to Uncook in the extension window, the extension sends the chat from your tab to our servers, encrypted, for up to 30 minutes, and we delete it as soon as your Uncook page opens it. What Uncook makes from it is kept as a task, for as long as our Privacy page says. Neither your chats nor your tasks are used to train AI models.
