How to Change Preferences on Poly AI: A Comprehensive Guide

| How To Change Preferences On Poly Ai | 
Step 1: Understanding Your Poly AI Environment and Goal
Before you start clicking around, let's get clear on a few things. Are you using Poly AI for:
- Business Applications? (e.g., customer service chatbots, virtual assistants for sales) 
- Personal Use/Character Creation? (e.g., an AI companion, role-playing AI) 
- Something else entirely? 
Knowing your primary use case will significantly influence which preferences you need to adjust. For example, a business user might focus on integration settings and data filtering, while a personal user might prioritize voice customization and character traits.
Once you have a clear objective, proceed to the next step!
Tip: Reread slowly for better memory.
Sub-heading: Where Do You Access Poly AI?
Poly AI can be accessed through different interfaces, and your access point will dictate how you navigate to the preference settings:
- Web Dashboard/Studio: This is typically where you'll find the most comprehensive settings for business-oriented AI agents. 
- Mobile App: For personal use or managing specific characters, the mobile app often provides a more streamlined interface for quick adjustments. 
- Integration Platforms: If your Poly AI is integrated into another platform (e.g., Slack, a custom CRM), some preferences might be managed within that platform's settings, not directly in Poly AI. 
Step 2: Locating the Main Preference Settings
Now that you know where you're operating, let's find those preference controls!
Sub-heading: For Poly AI Web Dashboard/Studio Users
- Log In: Navigate to the official Poly AI website and log in to your account. 
- Navigate to Your Agent/Project: If you manage multiple AI agents or projects, select the specific one for which you want to change preferences. 
- Look for "Settings" or a Gear Icon: Typically, core preferences are found under a "Settings" menu, often represented by a gear icon (⚙️) or a similar administrative symbol. This might be in a sidebar, a top navigation bar, or within the specific agent's detail view. 
- Explore Sections: Within the settings, you'll likely find various sections such as: - "General Settings" 
- "Model" (for Large Language Model configuration) 
- "Behavior" 
- "Multi-language" 
- "Integrations" 
- "Security & Privacy" 
- "Account" 
 
Sub-heading: For Poly AI Mobile App Users
QuickTip: Read again with fresh eyes.
- Open the App: Launch the Poly AI mobile application on your device. 
- Access Your Profile/Account: Look for an icon representing your profile or account, usually in a corner of the screen (e.g., a person icon, your avatar). 
- Find "Settings" or "Preferences": Within your profile or account section, you should find a "Settings" or "Preferences" option. 
- Character-Specific Settings: If you're using the app to interact with specific AI characters you've created or chosen, some preferences might be available directly within the chat interface or the character's profile. Look for icons like a pencil for editing, or a small menu for character options. 
Step 3: Customizing Core AI Behavior and Voice
This is where the magic happens! Depending on your Poly AI version and purpose, you'll have different options.
Sub-heading: Adjusting Language and Locale
For many users, language is a critical preference.
- Browser-Level Language Change: For some Poly AI web interfaces, the language setting might be controlled by your web browser, not directly within Poly AI itself. For example, in Google Chrome, you'd go to the three dots (menu) -> Translate, and select your desired language. 
- In-App/In-Platform Language Settings: More advanced Poly AI solutions, especially those for business, will have dedicated multi-language settings allowing you to: - Select the primary language for your AI. 
- Add support for multiple languages for your AI to understand and respond in. 
- Configure language-specific responses or knowledge bases. 
 
Sub-heading: Fine-Tuning Voice and Tone
If your Poly AI interacts via voice, this is a crucial area for customization.
Tip: Focus on one point at a time.
- Navigate to Voice Settings: Look for sections like "Voice," "Audio," or "Speech." 
- Choose a Voice: Poly AI often provides a selection of pre-defined voices (male/female, different accents/tones). Experiment with these to find one that best suits your brand or personal preference. 
- Adjust Tone/Intonation (if available): Some advanced configurations allow you to subtly adjust the AI's intonation, pacing, or emotional expression. This is particularly important for customer service applications to ensure the AI sounds empathetic or professional as needed. 
- Custom Lexicons: For business applications, you might be able to upload custom lexicons to control the pronunciation of specific words (e.g., company names, technical jargon). 
Sub-heading: Configuring the Underlying AI Model
This is generally for more advanced users or administrators of Poly AI business solutions.
- Access Model Settings: In the web dashboard, look for a "Model" or "Large Language Model (LLM)" section within your agent's settings. 
- Select LLM: You might have options to choose between different large language models (e.g., OpenAI models, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, Mistral, or even PolyAI's own proprietary LLM). The choice of LLM directly impacts the AI's conversational capabilities, knowledge, and response generation. 
- Bring Your Own Model (BYOM): For highly customized solutions, Poly AI might offer a BYOM option, allowing you to integrate your own pre-trained LLM via API. This requires technical expertise. 
Step 4: Managing Content and Data Preferences
Content preferences are vital for ensuring the AI operates appropriately and securely.
Sub-heading: NSFW Filters and Content Moderation
Poly AI, especially for public-facing applications or character creation, often includes content filters.
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
- Locate Safety/Content Settings: Look for sections related to "Safety," "Content Moderation," or "Filters." 
- Enable/Disable NSFW Filter: You'll typically find an option to enable or disable an NSFW (Not Safe For Work) filter. It's highly recommended to keep this enabled for most applications, especially if children might interact with the AI. 
- Custom Content Guidelines: For business applications, you might be able to define custom content guidelines or keywords that the AI should avoid or flag. 
Sub-heading: Data Privacy and Permissions
Understanding how Poly AI handles your data is crucial.
- Review Privacy Policy: Always review Poly AI's privacy policy, usually linked in the footer of their website or within the app's settings. 
- Data Collection Opt-Outs: Some platforms allow you to opt-out of certain data collection for analytics or improvement purposes. 
- Access to Device Information (for mobile apps): On mobile, the app might request permissions to access your microphone, contacts, or storage. Review these permissions carefully and grant only what's necessary for the AI to function as intended. 
Step 5: Saving and Testing Your Changes
You've made your adjustments – now it's time to ensure they work as expected!
- Save Changes: After making any modifications, always look for a "Save" or "Apply Changes" button. Without saving, your preferences might not take effect. 
- Test Thoroughly: - For Conversational AI Agents: Engage in conversations with your AI. Test different scenarios, ask questions that relate to the preferences you changed (e.g., ask in the new language, try to trigger filtered content). 
- For Personal Characters: Chat with your character and observe if the voice, personality, and responses reflect your adjustments. 
 
- Iterate: Preferences are rarely set perfectly on the first try. Don't be afraid to go back and fine-tune your settings based on your testing results. This iterative process is key to achieving the desired outcome.
