    Summary

    Use the Tone & Style settings to instruct the AI to be concise and avoid repeating information it has already provided in the current conversation thread.

    Who this article is for

    This article is for administrators refining the conversational style of their AI Employee.

    Overview

    If your AI Employee repeats the same information over and over, it can sound robotic and frustrate customers. Training the AI to maintain context and avoid repetition creates a more natural conversational flow.

    Before you begin

    • Review conversation logs for repetition
    • Access Tone & Style settings
    • Add explicit instructions to avoid repeating facts

    Step 1: Step 1: Identify the Repetition

    Review conversation logs to see where the repetition occurs. Is the AI repeating a greeting, a specific policy, or a call-to-action in every message?

    Step 2: Step 2: Access Tone Settings

    Navigate to Settings > AI Employee and open the 'Tone & Style' or 'Custom Instructions' tab.

    Step 3: Step 3: Add Context Instructions

    Add a clear instruction: 'Maintain context of the conversation. Do not repeat information you have already provided in previous messages unless explicitly asked to clarify.'

    Step 4: Step 4: Refine Length Constraints

    Repetition often happens when the AI is instructed to give long answers. Add an instruction: 'Be concise. Answer the specific question asked without adding unnecessary background information.'

    Step 5: Step 5: Test Multi-Turn Conversations

    Use the simulator to have a multi-turn conversation. Ask related questions in sequence to verify that the AI remembers the context and doesn't repeat its initial answers.

    Configuration note

    We do not guarantee AI accuracy, lead conversion, bookings, customer satisfaction, response quality, revenue, support resolution, or business outcomes. The AI Employee does not fully replace human staff. AI behaviour depends on knowledge sources, instructions, handoff rules, enabled features, connected channels, permissions, configuration, testing, and ongoing monitoring. AI-generated responses should be reviewed before relying on them for sensitive, urgent, legal, financial, medical, billing, or policy matters. The AI Employee may need human handoff for these situations. Knowledge sources must be reviewed, updated, and tested regularly. Usage charges, feature access, fair use rules, or add-on requirements may apply depending on your account setup. Always test before going live. Contact support if an option is not visible. The AI maintains a memory of the current conversation thread. Explicitly telling it to rely on that memory helps reduce redundant statements.

    Important clarification

    Including a mandatory greeting or sign-off in the AI's core instructions. If you tell it to 'Always say Thank you,' it will say 'Thank you' in every single message.

    Resolution guidance

    The AI is still repeating itself.

    Check your Business Rules. If you have a rule that says 'Always mention our 30-day guarantee,' the AI will try to force that into every response. Change it to 'Mention the 30-day guarantee when asked about refunds.'
