Keep it as one agent so it holds the context across all the steps, and add the steps one at a time, testing each before you move on. Look into chain-of-thought prompting, which makes the model work through a task in order. With public data, Mistral is a good place to start.

Why should I tell AI my gender?
It is about grammar, not personality. In gendered languages, AI defaults to the masculine form when it writes as you. Tell it your gender once in your custom instructions and the grammar is right in every chat. Writing from a particular point of view in one document is a prompt, not a personal setting.
Can I tell AI to use only one Source?
Yes, and naming the source in your prompt is one of the cheapest quality improvements there is. It narrows where the AI looks, but it does not guarantee the figure is right, so check it yourself. If the source is your own document, do not just name it, attach it.
Does telling ChatGPT not to hallucinate work?
Partly. It lowers the odds but guarantees nothing, so you still need to check. What the instruction really means is: say you do not know rather than guess, so write exactly that. Ask for proof as well, such as citations or the exact passage each answer came from.
