Anthropic has unveiled a new feature for its AI chatbot Claude, enabling users to set the style of generated texts. This enhancement mirrors capabilities seen in ChatGPT and Gemini, offering both preset and custom options to suit individual preferences and tasks.
Ready-Made Presets for Quick Selection
For ease of use, as reported by The Verge, Claude provides three ready-made styles alongside the default setting:
- Formal: Ideal for clear and polished text.
- Concise: Focused on brevity and efficiency.
- Explanatory: Provides detailed and comprehensive explanations.
If none of these presets meet your needs, Claude can adapt to your unique writing style. Users can upload text samples that reflect their preferred style and provide additional instructions. This feature also allows for saving multiple custom styles for future use.
Flexibility and Personalization for Various Contexts
This feature is designed for users seeking more natural and context-appropriate interactions with AI. “You can choose between detailed texts when learning something new or short responses when in a rush. Claude can also sound formal in some cases or friendly and casual in others,” explains Scott White, Anthropic’s head of product.
Despite its appeal, this feature isn’t entirely groundbreaking, notes NIXsolutions. Competing platforms like ChatGPT and Gemini offer similar tools for adjusting tone and detail. Gemini, for instance, supports quick draft edits in Gmail, while Apple’s Writing Tools includes similar preset options.
Claude’s new custom writing styles enhance its flexibility and user-friendliness, making it a strong contender among AI chatbots. We’ll keep you updated as Anthropic rolls out more features and improvements.
