Humanizer Templates and Custom Voice

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Humanizer offers various features to adapt your writing styles to better articulate your voice to your audience. This includes the option to use Templates and Custom Voice features.

What is Tone of Voice - Automatic?

This is the voice that’s set by default and will use the tone of voice our custom model finds the most likely to avoid AI detection. Use it if you care about avoiding AI-detection systems the most.

The automatic voice is often neutral, unlike the Custom Voice options. Avoiding strong emotional cues or personalized expressions to ensure that the message is clear and broadly accessible, appealing to a wider audience without being overly specialized or tailored.

Note that while using the default voice prioritizes clarity, consistency, and neutrality across communication to your audience, it may also lack the identity that your audience may or may not seek.

What is Custom Voice?

The Custom Voice involves creating a specific, personalized writing style that may (or may not be) unique to your brand.

This goes beyond tone to include elements such as your word choice, phrasing, and even specific stylistic quirks that consistently reflect a specific individual, or simply, your brand.

Unlike the dynamic nature of tone, which can shift depending on context, the Custom Voice option aims for consistency - all while serving a baseline style that ensures all communication reflects a single personality or brand identity, regardless of your audience medium.

How do you use Custom Voice?

It's important to use examples rather than prompts or instructions. Humanizer allows you to create content that resonates with your readers by applying a custom voice to your writing, which makes it perfect for developing and engaging high-impact messages that align with your brand personality.

✅ DOs:

  • Use expressive, highly stylized content

    The model works best when you input a voice with a highly distinctive style, not boring Wikipedia-like content. The more distinctive the style of your reference text is, the better Humanizer can mimic that voice in your content.

    You should avoid dull, encyclopedia-like entries and opt for vibrant, expressive writing.

  • Use a real, high-quality, human-written text as a template

    To achieve the best results, base your chosen Custom Voice reference on well-crafted human-written content. High-quality texts exhibit distinct personality, tone, and style, providing a solid template for Humanizer to replicate.

    Take this as an example:


    Template:

❌ DON'Ts:

  • Avoid writing style guidelines

    Avoid instructing on how the output should look. i.e.,
    - [...] Write using formal language [...]

    - [...] Avoid vulgar language [...]

    Instead, provide examples of well-crafted text written by a good copywriter that you want to mimic, which showcases your desired style and output.

  • Never use low-quality GPT-generated content as a template or reference

    The model will always try to replicate the writing style of the reference text that you fed it. Using AI-generated content will, of course, result in artificial-sounding content.

    It's best to opt for text created by skilled copywriters.

  • Mix style guidelines with instructions

    We can't stress enough the importance of giving exact text examples instead of giving prompt-like instructions. Mixing these will hinder the model's ability to replicate the desired writing style effectively. 

    This may change in the future, however. Support for adding additional instructions is still in research and development.

How do Templates and Tone of Voice differ?

Templates and Tone of Voice are two distinct features in the Humanizer tool, each serving a different purpose. Nonetheless, both features let you control your sound and identity. When should you use each one?

Tone of Voice

Tone of Voice is selected as the default type in Custom Voice.

It focuses on the quality and style of how the message is communicated, and it's mainly used by the model as an inspiration for phrasing. Establishing a unique and re, recognizable identity that stays consistent across contexts, while keeping the structure the same.

For example, if you have an article as the input, and you feed the model a LinkedIn post as reference, our algorithm will try to rewrite your article to sound like it was written by the author of the LinkedIn post, but it will still contain the same article, without deviating from the original content.

Template

When Template is chosen as the Custom Voice type, it works as a clear example of how your output should look, mimicking the structural underpinnings that allow your content to be organized and presented in a similar, coherent fashion.

Examples:

Let's use this ChatGPT-generated article as an example:

What is an AI Agent?

An AI agent is a software program powered by artificial intelligence that can perceive its environment, make decisions, and take actions to achieve specific goals. It acts autonomously or semi-autonomously, often simulating human-like reasoning, learning, and problem-solving capabilities.

At its core, an AI agent consists of three main components:

  1. Perception – It gathers data from its environment using sensors or input sources (e.g., APIs, user inputs).

  2. Decision-making – It analyzes data, applies logic or machine learning models, and chooses the best course of action.

  3. Action – It performs tasks or communicates responses through actuators or interfaces.

AI agents range from simple bots (like virtual assistants) to complex systems (like autonomous vehicles or trading bots). They can be reactive (responding to stimuli) or proactive (planning and adapting over time).

These agents are increasingly used in industries such as customer service, healthcare, finance, and robotics, offering efficiency, scalability, and intelligent automation.

As AI evolves, agents are becoming more collaborative, personalized, and capable of handling complex tasks, making them essential tools in the modern digital landscape.

And say that you use this post as a reference source:

If you feed the model the LinkedIn post as a Tone of Voice, you will still get a short article, but with indicative style and wording of reference:

What is an AI Agent? 🤖

An AI agent is basically a super-smart software program that can check out what's happening around it, make its own decisions, and take action to get stuff done! It works by itself (or mostly by itself), and tries to think, learn, and solve problems just like we humans do (but without the coffee breaks! 😂).

Breaking it down, an AI agent has three main pieces that work hand-in-hand:

1. Perception – It sucks up all the data it can from its surroundings using sensors or other input stuff (like APIs, what you type, etc).
2. Decision-making – It crunches all that data, applies some serious brain power through logic or machine learning, and figures out the best move.
3. Action – It actually does something! Whether that's giving you an answer or controlling something in the real world through interfaces.

AI agents come in all shapes and sizes, from the simple ones (think virtual assistants on your phone) to the mind-blowing complex ones (like self-driving cars or trading bots that make money while you sleep! 💰). Some just react to what's happening, while others can plan ahead and adapt over time.

As AI keeps getting better, these agents are becoming more team-player friendly, super personalized to what YOU need, and capable of handling tasks that would make your head spin! 🤯

On the other hand, if you use Template as your Custom Voice type, you will get a LinkedIn post about the topic and information from the content:

How do AI Agents relate to business productivity? 🤔

Autonomous, Intelligent, Action-oriented. While this concept is often mentioned within the tech space, there's one p-word that goes hand-in-hand.

Productivity. (not what you were thinking! 🙊😂)

According to a 2023 report from Gartner, businesses implementing AI agents see up to 40% improvement in operational efficiency.

Building AI agents that perceive, decide, and act does as much for your digital operations as it does for your bottom line.
