AI Voice allows you to define rules and default settings that control how AI generates content for your business, such as review responses.
You can set rules at the account level (applying to all businesses) or customize them for individual businesses.
These rules allow you to fine tune the AI responses to suit your brand and to ensure AI responds in the right way.
Accessing AI Voice
Navigate to AI Voice under the AI menu on the left navigation bar.
AI Voice for All locations or a Single location
When you have multiple locations you may want to have consistent rules applied to all locations.
To do this:
- Select All locations from the business selector in the header.
- Navigate to AI voice as above.
To set AI voice rules for a single location:
- Select the business location from the business selector in the header.
- Navigation to AI voice as above.
When you have account level rules they will be applied to every business in your account. Business level rules only apply to that business.
When you have both, the rules will be combined. So you can extend account level rules at the business level to apply brand rules and then add a rule at the business level to alter the brand voice just for that location.
Eg. You may want to say something specific for a location when the review mentions a particular product or service.

General Rules
General rules apply to all AI actions. Use these for broad guidelines you want the AI to always follow.
Examples:
- Never respond in first person

Action-Specific Rules
These rules apply only to specific AI actions. Currently supported:

Best Practices
- Start at the account level.Set your core brand guidelines that apply everywhere.
- Be specific. "Keep responses under 3 sentences" is better than "Be brief"
- Test your rules. After adding rules, generate a few AI responses to see the results.
- Use action-specific rules. Put review-specific guidelines in the Review Responses section.
-
Don't over-constrain. Too many rules can make AI responses feel unnatural.
