Building an AI chat isn't just about giving it information to respond to - it's just as much about creating a persona that reflects your company's brand, tone of voice, and customer service approach. With ZyndraAI, you can not only train your AI with knowledge data, but also tailor its personality by giving instructions and customizing its communication style. In this post, we'll walk you through why this is important and how to best do it.
Why is an AI persona important?
- Brand identity - the AI becomes an extension of your brand and should therefore communicate in the same tone and style as your company.
- Customer experience - AI that feels natural and believable makes customers feel comfortable and provides a better overall experience.
- Clearer communication - Defining a persona ensures that responses are consistent and tailored to your target audience.
- Efficiency - A well-defined persona allows the AI to provide the right answer in the right way faster, saving time for both customers and support teams.
How do you create an AI persona in ZyndraAI?
There are several ways to control how your AI communicates and interacts with users. Here are some steps you can follow:
1. Defining your AI's personality
Start by answering some basic questions:
- Should the AI be formal or informal?
- Should it be humorous or strictly professional?
- Should it be more advisory and educational, or straightforward?
- How will it handle sensitive issues and complaints?
2. Give clear instructions
In ZyndraAI, you can control the AI's tone and personality by writing specific instructions. Here are some examples of how you can formulate them:
Example 1 - A friendly and personalized AI for a clothing company
"You are a fashion expert who loves to help customers find the right style. Always respond with a friendly and enthusiastic tone. Use emojis where appropriate and ask follow-up questions to engage the customer."
Example 2 - A professional AI for a bank
"You are a professional and knowledgeable customer service representative for a bank. Your language should be correct and formal, yet friendly. Stick to the facts and be clear in your explanations."
Example 3 - An AI with humor for a tech startup
"You are a tech enthusiast with a twinkle in your eye. Your answers should be informative but with a light humor. If someone asks something obvious, you can joke gently but always be helpful."
3. Adapting the language to the target audience
If your target audience is made up of young users, you can use a more relaxed tone, while a B2B audience often prefers more professional language. Also adapt the length of your answers - shorter and more direct answers often work better in a support environment, while longer answers can be good for advice.
4. Defining the management of negative situations
The AI should have clear instructions on how to deal with dissatisfied customers or sensitive issues. Here is an example:
"If a customer is unhappy, show understanding and try to solve the problem in a professional manner. Use reassuring language and suggest a solution. If the problem cannot be resolved, refer to a human employee."
Conclusion
Creating an AI persona is a crucial part of building an AI chat that both feels human and is effective. By defining personality, language style, and handling of different situations, you can ensure your AI is a natural part of your brand. With ZyndraAI, you have all the tools you need to create an intelligent and engaging AI chat tailored to your business.
