Customize Fin AI Agent's personality

Learn how to customize the identity, tone of voice, and length of Fin's answers for more control over your AI Agent experience.

Updated over 2 weeks ago

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.


Fin's identity

To customize Fin AI Agent’s appearance, go to Settings > Fin AI Agent > Personality. Here, you can change Fin's name and hover over the current image to upload a new avatar for Fin.

Ensure Fin's color contrasts with the color of your Messenger to display nicely.

To change the avatar back to the default Fin icon, hover over your custom avatar and click the Fin button.

Note:

  • Fin’s identity will appear for all messages sent by bots (including Workflows) in the Messenger.

  • The name and identity that teammates see in conversation histories where Fin has engaged with customers will always be the current identity.


Fin's tone of voice

To adjust the tone of voice used in Fin's replies to sound more like your preferred company tone, go to Settings > Fin AI Agent > Personality and select Fin's tone of voice.

You'll see the following options:

  • Friendly: Enthusiastic, upbeat, encouraging. Fin keeps it warm.

  • Neutral: Casual, respectful, objective. Fin keeps it neutral.

  • Matter-of-fact: Plainspoken, direct, frank. Fin keeps it clear-cut.

  • Professional: Informative, confident, empathetic. Fin keeps it businesslike.

  • Humorous: Lighthearted, playful, irreverent. Fin keeps it entertaining.

Here are some examples of "Humorous" vs "Professional":

Humorous

Professional

Then click Save to set the tone of voice live.

Follow-up and handover

  • Tone of voice does not apply to Fin’s quick reply buttons (That helped 👍 and Talk to a person 👤) but you can still customize what these buttons say in Settings > Fin AI Agent > Reply Settings and select the Fin's reply buttons dropdown menu.

  • If the Ask for more information before handover feature is enabled and the customer selects Talk to a person 👤 the follow-up questions will apply the selected tone.

  • If the feature Ask for more information before handover is disabled and the customer selects Talk to a person 👤 no follow-up reply will be sent.

  • If the customer selects That helped 👍 Fin's follow-up message confirming the resolution will also apply the selected tone.

Note:

  • Tone of voice setting does not apply to Custom Answers; these will still be sent exactly as you wrote them.

  • Emoji's will be included in responses only when the tone of voice is set to Humorous or Friendly. For Neutral, Matter-of-fact, and Professional tones, Fin won't incorporate emojis, even if they're present in the source content.

For customers who offer multilingual support, you can also choose the formality of pronouns used in Fin's replies in Settings > Fin AI Agent > Reply Settings and select the Fin's pronoun formality.


Fin's answer length

To customize the length of Fin's replies, go to Settings > Fin AI Agent > Personality and choose your preference under Fin's answer length.

Choose from three different options:

  • Concise: Roughly 30% shorter than the "Standard" length.

  • Standard (default): strike a balance between context and brevity.

  • Thorough: Roughly 30% longer than the "Standard" length. It could result in a minor increase in resolution rate (~2%) than the "Concise" option.

Here are some examples of answer length when asking Fin "Can you set different teammate permissions?"

Concise

Standard

Thorough

Then click Save to set the answer length live.

Note:

  • The answer length setting only applies to AI-generated answers; it won’t affect things like Fin’s greetings and clarifying messages.

  • The answer length setting does not apply to Custom Answers; these will still be sent exactly as you wrote them.
