AI Chat Apps Let Users Set Permanent Tone and Style Preferences
CNET details customization settings inside ChatGPT, Google Gemini and Claude AI that let users permanently adjust how the assistants respond, rather than repeatedly tweaking prompts. These options, found under menus like 'personalization' or 'personal intelligence,' allow control over things such as warmth, emoji use and how the tool addresses the user. ChatGPT uses toggle-based settings while Gemini's Personal Intelligence takes a more open-ended approach.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
Persistent personalization settings could reduce the repetitive effort of prompt engineering, potentially making AI assistants feel more tailored and less generic for everyday users. This points to a broader trend of AI companies competing on user experience and customization rather than just raw model capability, though the actual usefulness will vary by how much control each platform exposes.
- ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude all offer settings menus for permanent response customization.
- Options include adjusting tone, warmth, emoji usage and how the AI addresses the user.
- Gemini's Personal Intelligence offers a more open-ended customization approach than ChatGPT's toggles.
