Setting up your tone of voice for AI-generated sharing messages soon

You can define your personal tone of voice so Haiilo's AI, AVA, can generate sharing messages that sound more like you. Your tone of voice can be based on selected LinkedIn posts or on a text sample that you paste manually. 

The Tone of Voice setting is only available if Haiilo AVA is activated on your platform.

Set up your tone of voice

  1. Select the user drop-down menu > Account settings.
  2. Select Tone of voice.
  3. Check Teach AI my writing style to use in generating sharing messages.
  4. Choose how you want to define your tone of voice:
    • My previous posts from LinkedIn: Fetch your 50 latest LinkedIn posts and select the posts that best represent your writing style. You can select up to 10 posts.
    • My own writing sample that I will provide: Paste a text sample that represents your writing style or a style of writing that you like. This can be any text, such as a blog post or a sample of social media captions. You can also include instructions in prompt format. You need to include at least 300 characters and no more than 20,000 characters. The more you write, the better AI can learn your style. 
  5. Select Save to apply.

After saving, your tone of voice is used when you generate sharing messages with AVA.

When you have a personal tone of voice saved, you can only select the message length. The tonality and emoji options are based on your saved tone of voice instead of the standard AVA options.

Writing like Yoda is a bit niche, but hey, everyone has their own style! 😉

Template

Don't know where to start with your sample? No worries! You can copy this template and fill in the bracketed sections, and remove anything that doesn't apply to you.

My tone is [casual / professional / somewhere in between]. I want my posts to sound like [a conversation with a colleague / a short blog post / a quick thought I'd share over coffee].

I usually start posts with [a question / a bold statement / a personal story / a stat or fact].

When I share company content, I [put it in my own words / add a personal take on why it matters / keep it brief and link out / tie it to a trend or topic I care about].

My sentences tend to be [short and punchy / longer and more detailed / a mix of both].

I use emojis [often / occasionally / rarely / never].

I avoid [jargon / hashtags in the body / sounding too salesy / exclamation marks / overly formal language].

I close posts with [a question / a call to action / a reflection / nothing specific, I just wrap it up naturally].

Here's an example of a post or caption I've written or would write: [Paste or write a sample post here so the AI can see your style in action.]

Examples

Take a look at these examples to get a sense of how you might structure your own. 

Remember, they're not meant to be copied exactly since they don't reflect your unique voice. Instead, they're here to inspire and guide you as you craft your own personalized sample.

Example 1: Conversational and direct

I like to keep things simple when I share on social media. I write the way I talk. Short sentences. No buzzwords. I usually open with a bold statement or a question to grab attention, then follow up with a quick take or a personal insight. I don't use emojis much, maybe one or two max. I avoid sounding like a press release. If I'm sharing a company update, I'll put it in my own words and explain why it matters to me personally. I tend to close with a question or a call to action that feels natural, not forced. For example: "We just launched [feature]. I've been waiting for this one because [reason]. If you're dealing with [problem], take a look." That's the kind of energy I want.

Example 2: Blog post with a voice you like

I've been thinking a lot about a word that doesn't show up often in product roadmaps: calm.
Not calm as an aesthetic. Not whitespace for its own sake. But calm as a user experience outcome. The feeling that a product fits how you think, behaves the way you expect, and doesn't demand more attention than necessary. In the digital workplace, calm is a prerequisite for good work.

And right now, AI is putting that calm at risk. When people hear "calm design," they often picture minimal interfaces. But calm has less to do with visuals and more to do with predictability. A product feels calm when I know what it's for, I know what will happen when I click something, and I don’t feel punished for looking away for five minutes.

That last point matters more than ever. Attention is already stretched thin.

Example 3: Thought leadership and polished

When I post on LinkedIn, I aim for a professional but approachable tone. I usually start with a hook, something slightly unexpected or a lesson I've learned. Then I build on it with 2 to 3 short paragraphs that share my perspective, ideally backed by a real experience or example. I like using line breaks to keep things scannable. I avoid jargon unless my audience expects it. I'll occasionally use a list to break down a concept, but I prefer flowing text over bullet points. I close with a reflection or a forward-looking statement. My posts tend to sound like a short conversation with a smart colleague, not a sales pitch. I never use hashtags in the body of the post. If I include them, they go at the very end.

Example 4: Casual and personality-driven

I'm pretty informal on social. I use emojis, I crack jokes, and I don't mind starting a sentence with "honestly" or "okay but." I write like I'm texting a friend who happens to be in my industry. My posts are usually short, around 3 to 5 sentences. I'll share something my company did and then add my own spin, like why I think it's cool or what surprised me about it. I don't try to sound polished. I'd rather sound real. If something sounds like it could come from a corporate account, I rewrite it. I want people to feel like they're hearing from me, not from a brand.
