Setting your brand voice in ten minutes

Friendly, formal or playful. How Relay's tone settings work, and the three examples that make them stick.

Customers notice when a reply doesn't sound like you. A playful brand that suddenly writes like a bank feels wrong, even when the answer is right.

Pick a tone, then show it

Choose one of three tones in settings, then paste three real replies your team is proud of. Relay learns sentence length, greetings and sign-offs from those examples.

Words to avoid

Add a short list of words your team never uses. Relay keeps them out of every reply, which matters more than you’d think for things like “unfortunately” or “ticket”.

  • Keep examples short and recent

  • Include one apology and one good-news reply

  • Review ten live answers after a day
