# Template Tags

Carson 1.3 added an assistant tag, which lets you perform AI prompts in a template. It can be used as a single tag, or a tag pair that will append whatever content you place into it to the prompt instructions.

```json
{exp:carson:assistant instructions="Do something..."}
```

Used as a tag pair:

```json
{exp:carson:assistant instructions="Do something with this tag content..."}
   ... anything here ...
{/exp:carson:assistant}
```
