Brand voice

Brand voice is not one setting. It comes together from three places you already use:

• Your Brand Voice Guide skill captures the hard rules: tone, banned words, sentence length, how you handle humour.
• Your writing examples in the Knowledge Hub show HERALD what good looks like by showing, not telling.
• Your memory absorbs the corrections you make as you review drafts.

The more you review, the tighter the voice gets. You do not need to write a style guide on day one.

Teach HERALD your voice

The fastest way to sound like yourself from the start is the one-click “Teach HERALD your voice” flow:

1. Open Skills (or Workspace Settings, or the Your Voice step during onboarding) and click Teach HERALD your voice.
2. Paste 2 to 5 posts you are proud of.
3. HERALD studies them, rewrites your Brand Voice Guide skill to reflect your patterns, and saves the posts to the Knowledge Hub as writing examples.

Every future draft draws on both the updated skill and the saved examples. You do not need to describe your style in the abstract; your own writing becomes the reference.

Learning from your edits

HERALD also learns as you work. When you change a draft before approving it, HERALD notices material edits and adapts future drafts to match. The more you edit early on, the less you will need to edit later.

The full path to “sounds like me”

1. Use the Teach HERALD your voice flow (see above) to set a real baseline.
2. Add any hard rules to your Brand Voice Guide skill: banned phrases, preferred sentence shape, how you handle humour.
3. Edit the first ten drafts by hand. Memory and your growing skills cover the rest.
