Anthropic announced that it Claude Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots can now reply in a variety of styles to better match a user's communication preferences, tone and structure. New styles to choose from include formal, concise and explanatory, in addition to customizable styles.
If 'Formal' is selected, Claude will respond in a clear, concise manner; 'Concise' provides shorter, more direct responses; and 'Explain' provides educational responses for learning new concepts.
If none of these work for you, Claude can generate custom styles for you. You can upload articles or documents you've written in the past, sample content that reflects your preferred communication style, specify instructions that meet your needs, and then edit your preferences as you see fit.
GitLab is an early tester of this new feature. Taylor McCaslin, its AI and ML technical product lead, said:
“Claude 能够在适应不同语境的同时保持一致的语音,这让我们的团队成员能够在撰写商业案例、更新用户文档、创建和翻译营销材料等各种情况下使用不同的样式。预置样式可用于快速对齐,而自定义样式则可满足不同用户的偏好,这两者的结合使它成为一个非常有用的工具。”
Using this new feature is very simple: head over to Claude.ai and below the input box you will see an option to choose between the styles listed earlier or click below to create your own.
It seems that only the web version of Claude has access to this option at the moment, as it can't be found in the Android app at the moment.
