Why it matters

Same words, different energy.

A friendly greeting at a med spa lands differently than a friendly greeting at a personal injury law firm. Tone is the difference between 'we get you' and 'we're trying too hard.'

Donna's tone setting modifies the AI's prosody — pacing, warmth, formality — without changing the voice itself. Friendly is conversational and energetic. Professional is polished and direct. Calm is slow and reassuring. Pick the one that matches the emotional state your callers arrive in.

FAQ

Common questions

Can I create a custom tone?
Pro tier supports custom tone definitions via prompt instructions. Useful for specific brand voices ('warm but not casual,' 'authoritative but not cold').
Does tone affect the words Donna says?
Not the content (those come from your scripts), but the delivery — pacing, emphasis, warmth. Same script, different energy.
How do I A/B test tones?
Switch tones for a week and compare booking conversion in your analytics. Many salons see 5-10% lift moving from Friendly to Professional, depending on demographic.
