Anthropic has added a new feature to the Claude AI assistant that will give users more control over how the chatbot responds to different typing tasks.
New custom styles are available to all Claude AI users, enabling anyone to train it to match their own communication style or choose from preset options to quickly adjust the tone and level of detail it provides.
This update aims to personalize chatbot responses and make them more natural or suitable for specific applications, such as writing detailed technical documents or business emails.
There are currently three predefined styles:
Official for "clear" text,
Concise for shorter and more direct answers and
Explanatory for educational answers that should include additional details.
If these three predefined styles don't suit your requirements, Claude can create new custom styles that are trained to mimic other ways of writing.
Anthropic says users must upload "sample content that reflects their preferred communication style" to the chatbot, then instruct it on how to match its responses to the new writing style.
