Disable Markdown in responses

What is Markdown in responses?

Markdown is a formatting system that lets the agent style its replies using elements like bold text, bullet points, numbered lists, and hyperlinks. This makes responses easier to read and more visually organized.

❗️

Note:

This setting is supported only with GPT‑4o and GPT‑4.1 models.

What happens when you disable it

When Markdown is disabled:

• The agent will respond in plain text only.
• No formatting will be used—no bold, italics, headers, bullet points, or clickable links.
• Any formatting instructions in your prompt will be ignored.
• Responses will appear simplified and unstyled.

This is useful if you want minimal, raw output.
