👋 Hey everyone,

We've added Profile - a simple way to tell Alter who you are and how you want to work together.

It's pretty straightforward:

- Tell Alter about yourself
- Share what you're working on
- Set your preferred communication style

Why? Because context matters. When Alter knows you're a developer who prefers concise technical answers, or a writer who wants creative brainstorming, it can skip the fluff and be more helpful.

We made a video to show you how we use it.

We’ll share some profile templates on the Discord community→ [https://discord.gg/gvCMmfBRWZ](https://discord.gg/gvCMmfBRWZ?utm%5Fsource=list.alterhq.com&utm%5Fmedium=referral&utm%5Fcampaign=now-alter-works-on-your-terms)

Best,  
Sam
