Overview

Voice & Tone controls how Every Agent sounds when it is drafting on behalf of your business. It is separate from Business Context and is designed specifically for writing style.

Open Voice & Tone

Review and edit your business voice profile
Every stores voice guidance in three audience buckets:
  • Client-facing: prospects, clients, and revenue-facing communication
  • Internal / casual: founders, teammates, and close collaborators
  • Non-client external: vendors, partners, candidates, and other outside operators

How It Works

Voice & Tone is generated from your email history, then made editable in Agent Settings. Each audience can include:
  • A short voice/tone description
  • Tags such as direct, warm, concise, or professional
  • Up to three example snippets
The agent uses the right audience profile depending on who it is writing to.
Voice & Tone is not injected into every chat turn. It is mainly used when the agent is drafting business-authored content such as proposals, invoice notes, and outbound messages.

Accessing Voice & Tone

Go to Agent Settings → Voice & Tone. From there you can:
  • Review your current audience profiles
  • Refresh the generated voice profile from newer email history
  • Edit descriptions, tags, and example snippets

What to Put Here

Use Voice & Tone for writing style, not business facts. Good examples:
  • “Client-facing writing should be concise, calm, and confident.”
  • “Internal notes can be direct and casual.”
  • “Partner communication should be polished and professional.”
Not ideal for this page:
  • Pricing rules
  • Service catalog details
  • Operational policies
  • Client segmentation logic
Those belong in Business Context.

Voice & Tone vs Business Context

SettingBest Used For
Business ContextFacts, operating rules, services, products, pricing logic
Voice & ToneStyle, tone, audience-specific communication patterns
Use both together:
  • Business Context tells the agent what is true about your business
  • Voice & Tone tells the agent how to express it

Refreshing the Profile

The page includes a Refresh Voice & Tone action. Use it when:
  • Your writing style has changed
  • You want fresher guidance from newer emails
  • The current voice profile feels out of date
After refreshing, review the generated content and tighten anything that feels too generic or too broad.

Editing the Profile

Each audience can be edited directly. Recommended workflow:
  1. Review the generated description
  2. Remove tags that do not fit
  3. Add the traits you actually want the agent to lean on
  4. Add short examples that sound like you
Keep examples short and representative. You do not need long sample emails. A few strong examples work better than a lot of filler.

Where It Gets Used

Voice & Tone is most relevant when the agent is writing outward-facing or business-authored content, such as:
  • Proposal drafting
  • Invoice notes or payment messaging
  • Follow-up emails
  • Client-facing summaries
It is less important for:
  • Simple data lookups
  • Operational Q&A
  • Internal admin tasks that do not involve writing on your behalf

Best Practices

Edit for clarity, not completeness. One strong paragraph per audience is usually enough.
Keep client-facing tone aligned with how you actually sell and communicate, not how you think a generic business “should” sound.
Use tags to reinforce clear traits like direct, clear, friendly, or professional.
Revisit the profile after large branding, positioning, or team changes.

Troubleshooting

The Writing Style Feels Wrong

Try this:
  • Edit the audience description directly
  • Remove tags that are pushing the style the wrong way
  • Add stronger examples
  • Refresh the profile if your recent email history is now more representative

The Agent Is Ignoring Voice & Tone

Voice & Tone is mostly used for drafting flows. If you are asking a simple operational question, the profile may not be relevant to that turn. Try testing it with:
  • Proposal drafting
  • Invoice note generation
  • Outbound email drafting

The Generated Profile Is Too Generic

That usually means there is not enough signal in the current email-derived profile. Fixes:
  • Edit it manually
  • Add clearer example snippets
  • Refresh again later after more representative business email activity
