What Is Tone Cloning?

Tone cloning in ChatAE teaches the system your writing style so it generates emails that sound like you — not generic AI, but your actual voice, phrasing, structure, and CTA style.

When you add sample emails, ChatAE analyzes your tone, phrasing patterns, email structure, and CTA style. Then it uses that style to generate personalized emails that match your voice.

Here's how to clone your writing style in ChatAE — how to add samples, what ChatAE learns, and how to get the best results.

Why Tone Cloning Matters

Tone cloning matters because:

Emails sound like you: Generated emails match your writing style. They don't sound like generic AI.

Consistency: All emails have consistent tone and style. They feel authentic.

Time savings: You don't need to rewrite emails. They're ready to send.

Scale: You can generate many emails quickly while maintaining your voice.

Why it matters: Without tone cloning, emails sound generic. With tone cloning, emails sound like you.

How to Set Up Tone Cloning

Here's how to set up tone cloning:

Step 1: Navigate to Writing Style Settings

How to access:

  • Go to ChatAE Settings → Writing Style
  • Click "Add Sample Email"
  • You'll see the tone cloning interface

Why it matters: Writing Style settings are where you configure tone cloning.

Step 2: Add Sample Emails

How to add:

  • Click "Add Sample Email"
  • Paste an email you've written
  • Click "Add" to save
  • Repeat for 3-5 emails

What to include:

  • Your best-performing emails
  • Different types of emails (intro, follow-up, value prop)
  • Emails that represent your style
  • Variety in tone and structure

Why it matters: More samples = better tone match. Variety helps ChatAE understand your range.

Best practices: Use your best emails. Include variety. Add 5-10 samples for best results.

Step 3: Let ChatAE Analyze

How it works:

  • ChatAE analyzes your samples automatically
  • It identifies patterns in tone, phrasing, structure, and CTA style
  • Analysis happens in the background
  • You'll see confirmation when analysis is complete

What ChatAE learns:

  • Your tone (formal, casual, consultative, etc.)
  • Your phrasing patterns
  • Your email structure
  • Your CTA style
  • Your personalization approach

Why it matters: Analysis enables tone matching. The more samples, the better the analysis.

Step 4: Test Tone Cloning

How to test:

  • Generate a test email using Account-Based Messaging
  • Review the email
  • Check if it matches your style
  • Adjust samples if needed

Why it matters: Testing verifies tone cloning works. It helps you refine samples.

Best practices: Test with different types of emails. Review tone match. Adjust samples as needed.

What ChatAE Learns

Here's what ChatAE learns from your samples:

Tone

What it is: The overall tone of your writing — formal, casual, consultative, friendly, etc.

How ChatAE learns: Analyzes word choice, sentence structure, and overall voice.

Example: If your samples are consultative and professional, ChatAE learns that tone.

Why it matters: Tone determines how emails feel. Matching your tone makes emails authentic.

Phrasing Patterns

What it is: How you phrase things — your word choices, sentence structures, and expressions.

How ChatAE learns: Identifies common phrases, word patterns, and expressions you use.

Example: If you use phrases like "I'd love to" or "Here's what I'm thinking," ChatAE learns those patterns.

Why it matters: Phrasing patterns make emails sound like you. They create authenticity.

Email Structure

What it is: How you structure emails — opening, body, closing, CTA placement.

How ChatAE learns: Analyzes email structure patterns — how you open, organize, and close emails.

Example: If you open with a question, provide value in the body, and close with a soft CTA, ChatAE learns that structure.

Why it matters: Structure affects readability and effectiveness. Matching your structure maintains consistency.

CTA Style

What it is: How you write CTAs — direct, soft, question-based, etc.

How ChatAE learns: Analyzes how you write CTAs — directness, tone, placement.

Example: If you use soft CTAs like "Would you be open to a quick call?" ChatAE learns that style.

Why it matters: CTA style affects response rates. Matching your style maintains effectiveness.

Personalization Approach

What it is: How you personalize emails — what you reference, how you connect.

How ChatAE learns: Analyzes how you personalize — account references, trigger mentions, connection style.

Example: If you reference account research and triggers naturally, ChatAE learns that approach.

Why it matters: Personalization approach affects relevance. Matching your approach maintains effectiveness.
