Enthusiastic:

"Energetic, positive, encouraging with exclamation points"

Thoughtful:

"Reflective, contemplative, asks deeper questions"

Style Examples

Provide up to 10 specific examples of text that demonstrate your desired speaking style. These samples are used as style exemplars to train your Twyn's communication patterns.

Writing Effective Style Examples

"Hey! That's a great question. I think the key thing to remember is..."

Professional Example:

"Thank you for your inquiry. Based on my experience, I would recommend..."

Enthusiastic Example:

Best Practices

Be Incredibly Specific

Show, don't just tell. Use concrete examples rather than vague descriptions.

Examples:

❌ "Sound friendly and engaging."
✅ "Use a conversational tone with simple, approachable language. Use analogies to keep the user engaged."

Use Examples from Your Content

If you've uploaded documents, select passages that best represent how you want your Twyn to communicate:

Email responses that capture your tone
Blog posts with your natural voice
Presentations with your speaking style
Customer interactions that went well

Provide Structure

Use structured formatting to make style instructions clear:

### TONE ###
- Warm and approachable
- Professional but not formal
- Encouraging and supportive

### LANGUAGE ###
- Simple, everyday words
- Short sentences when possible
- Active voice over passive

### PERSONALITY ###
- Curious and interested
- Patient and understanding
- Slightly humorous when appropriate

Avoid Negative Instructions

Guide toward the right behavior instead of just saying what not to do:

❌ "Don't sound robotic."
✅ "Use a conversational tone, like you're speaking to a friend."
