PolyAI is a robust platform primarily focused on building and deploying customer-led conversational AI assistants for enterprises. While PolyAI helps businesses create highly customized voice agents with specific brand personalities, the concept of "changing your name on PolyAI" as a user typically refers to changing your display name within a specific PolyAI-powered application or chatbot interface, or, if you're a developer/admin, renaming an AI chatbot you've created within the PolyAI Studio.
This guide will focus on the most common scenarios for users and developers. Let's dive in!
How to Change Your Name on PolyAI (or PolyAI-Powered Applications)
Have you ever wanted to personalize your interaction with an AI, or perhaps rename an AI chatbot you've created? You're in the right place! While PolyAI itself is an enterprise-grade platform, the principles of changing your name or an AI's name within its ecosystem are generally straightforward.
| How To Change Your Name On Poly Ai | 
Step 1: Identify Your "Name" on PolyAI - Are You a User or a Creator?
Before we jump into the "how-to," let's clarify what "name" you're looking to change.
- Are you a user interacting with a PolyAI-powered chatbot (e.g., a customer service bot)? In this case, you might be looking to change your display name within that specific application. This is often managed within the application's profile settings, not directly on the core PolyAI platform. 
- Are you a developer or administrator using PolyAI Studio to build and manage AI chatbots? If so, you're likely interested in changing the name of an AI chatbot you've created. This is done within the PolyAI development environment. 
Let's proceed with both scenarios, as the process differs significantly.
Scenario A: Changing Your Display Name as a User in a PolyAI-Powered Application
Many applications that leverage PolyAI's conversational AI capabilities will allow you to customize your profile, including your display name. This is highly dependent on the specific application you're using.
Step 2: Access the Application's Settings
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
- Open the Application: Launch the application where you interact with the PolyAI chatbot. This could be a web portal, a mobile app, or even a messaging platform integration. 
- Look for Profile or Account Settings: Navigate to the section that typically contains your user information. Common names for this section include: - Profile 
- Account Settings 
- My Account 
- Settings (often represented by a gear icon ⚙️ or three dots ⋯) 
 
Step 3: Locate the Name/Display Name Field
- Scan for "Name" or "Display Name": Once in the settings, look for fields related to your personal information. You should see an option to edit your name, display name, or username. 
- Click "Edit" or the Pencil Icon: Many applications will have an "Edit" button or a small pencil icon (✏️) next to the field you wish to change. Click on this. 
Step 4: Enter Your New Name and Save
- Type Your New Name: Carefully enter the new name you wish to use. Double-check for typos! 
- Confirm and Save: Look for a "Save," "Apply," or "Update" button. Clicking this will typically commit your changes. You might be asked to confirm your password for security reasons. - Pro-Tip: Some applications might require you to log out and log back in for the changes to take full effect. 
Scenario B: Changing the Name of an AI Chatbot in PolyAI Studio (for Developers/Admins)
If you're building and managing AI chatbots with PolyAI, you'll be working within the PolyAI Studio environment. Renaming your AI chatbot is a key part of managing your projects.
Step 2: Log In to PolyAI Studio
- Access the PolyAI Studio Portal: Open your web browser and navigate to the PolyAI Studio login page. 
- Enter Your Credentials: Input your registered email address and password to log in. 
Step 3: Navigate to Your AI Chatbot Projects
- Go to "My Chatbots" or "Projects": Once logged in, you'll typically find a dashboard or a navigation menu that lists your existing AI chatbot projects. Click on the relevant section. 
- Select the Chatbot to Rename: From your list of chatbots, click on the specific AI chatbot whose name you want to change. This will usually take you to that chatbot's overview or settings page. 
Step 4: Locate the Chatbot's Name/Configuration Settings
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
- Look for "Settings" or "Configuration": Within the selected chatbot's interface, there should be a "Settings," "Configuration," or "General Information" tab or section. This is where core properties of the chatbot are managed. 
- Find the "Name" Field: Within these settings, you will find a field specifically designated for the chatbot's name. This is distinct from internal IDs or technical identifiers. 
Step 5: Edit the Name and Deploy/Save Changes
- Type in the New Name: Delete the old name and enter your desired new name for the AI chatbot. 
- Save or Deploy Changes: Depending on the PolyAI Studio's workflow, you might need to click a "Save" button directly, or in some cases, "Deploy" the changes for them to take effect in the live environment. Make sure to check for any deployment prompts. - Important Note: Changing the name of a live AI chatbot might cause a brief interruption in service or require a full redeployment, depending on the complexity of your setup. Always consult PolyAI's official documentation for best practices regarding deployment.

10 Related FAQ Questions
Here are some frequently asked questions related to changing names on PolyAI or PolyAI-powered applications, with quick answers:
How to: Check if my name change was successful?
Quick Answer: After saving, revisit your profile or the chatbot's settings page. If the new name is displayed, it was successful. You might also try interacting with the AI to see if it refers to you by your new name (if applicable).
How to: Change my PolyAI login ID?
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
Quick Answer: PolyAI, as an enterprise platform, usually integrates with company directories or single sign-on (SSO) systems. Your login ID (email) is typically managed by your organization's IT department or within the "Security" tab of your PolyAI account settings if available, similar to how Polymail (a related service) handles it.
How to: Change the persona or personality of a PolyAI chatbot?
Quick Answer: Changing the persona involves modifying the chatbot's training data, conversational flow, and potentially its voice. This is a more advanced customization done within PolyAI Studio by developers, not a simple name change.
How to: Revert to my old name on a PolyAI-powered application?
Quick Answer: Simply follow the same steps as changing your name (Scenario A), but enter your old name in the respective field.
How to: Change the display name of a bot I created on a platform using PolyAI (e.g., Dante AI)?
Quick Answer: For platforms like Dante AI that utilize PolyAI's capabilities, you'd typically open the specific chatbot you want to customize from your chatbot menu, then locate the name field to edit it, and confirm the change.
How to: Troubleshoot if my name change isn't saving?
Quick Answer: Check for an active internet connection, ensure you've clicked the "Save" or "Apply" button, and look for any error messages. Sometimes, clearing your browser cache or trying a different browser can help.
Tip: Share this article if you find it helpful.
How to: Change the name of my PolyAI account itself?
Quick Answer: If "PolyAI account" refers to your user account on the PolyAI enterprise platform, this is usually managed by your organization's administrators. Individual users typically cannot change core account names directly but can often change display names.
How to: Ensure my name change is visible to others (if applicable)?
Quick Answer: If the application has a community or shared interaction feature, your new name should automatically update for others. However, some platforms might have a slight delay in propagation.
How to: Change the "greeting" name an AI uses for me?
Quick Answer: If the AI bot is using a specific name to greet you, it's likely pulling this from your profile or a setting within the application. Update your display name in the application's profile settings, and the AI should adapt.
How to: Get support if I'm stuck changing my name on PolyAI?
Quick Answer: For PolyAI enterprise users, contact your organization's PolyAI administrator or IT support. For users of PolyAI-powered applications, look for the "Help" or "Support" section within that specific application.
