Set tone of voice

Control how the AI assistant sounds when answering your users.

Target Audience: Organization admins and owners configuring AI for their team.

TL;DR

Tone of voice controls how the assistant phrases its answers — from precise and business-formal to brief and direct. The choice applies to your whole organization.


When to use this

Use this page when the default tone does not match your product's style or your users' expectations. For example, a technical analytics team may prefer a detailed, precise tone, while an end-user-facing product may benefit from a friendlier, more approachable style.


Who can change this

Changing the tone of voice requires the organization update permission, which member, admin, and owner roles have. Users with the explorer role cannot change it.

This setting is available on plans that include AI customization. If the section is locked, contact your account manager.


How to set tone of voice

  1. Open Settings and select AI behavior in the left sidebar.

  2. In the Tone of voice card, select one of the available options.

  3. Click Save. A confirmation ("Context updated") appears once the change is applied.
