Fin can incorporate your brand identity, tone of voice, and preferred answer length. Choose from a selection of tone of voice options like professional, friendly, humorous, and more. Then select how long Fin’s answers are, from shorter and concise, to longer and more thorough. These settings will be applied in all the languages you support.
Editing Fin's personality requires "Can manage Automation settings and inbound Workflows" permission.
