What you can edit:


  • Core personality traits and tone guidelines.

  • Ranges for “evening,” “early morning,” and similar phrases.

  • Timezone‑adjusted timestamp handling.



Numbers & Symbols Speech Rules


This module details the speech rules for numbers, currencies, ordinals, addresses, special characters, and alphanumeric strings so the agent sounds consistent across scenarios.


What you can see:
