"Friendly and professional" fits half your roster, so the AI fills the gap with its own default style. - The fix is a voice record for each client, built from copy the client actually wrote or approved. It covers how they sound, the phrases they come back to, and the words and moves they never use, with a quoted line behind each point. - Kite builds that record when it researches a client, keeps it on the client's own pages, and writes every post, email, and page for that client from it. A piece follows the brand whose name it goes out under, so a client's newsletter sounds like the client while your agency's case study about them still sounds like you. - Before you see a draft, Kite checks it against the client's voice record and fixes anything that drifts. - When you correct a draft, Kite keeps the correction with that client, so it shapes the next piece for them and nobody else. ## Why does AI content sound the same for every client? If you deliver content for several clients, you've probably seen it happen. The dental practice, the craft brewery, and the B2B software company all get posts that open with a question, build to a tidy list, and close by inviting comments. Each draft is fine on its own. Put them side by side and they read like one writer with three logos. That sameness comes from the brief, not from the AI's ability. A model writes in its own default voice wherever the instructions leave room, and most voice instructions leave a lot of room. "Warm, confident, approachable" describes thousands of brands, so it can't tell a writer how this particular client sounds. The same thing happens with human writers on a busy week. Your agency's house style quietly fills every gap the client's guide didn't cover. A voice becomes something a writer can follow once it's described as habits with evidence. One client writes in full, careful sentences, says "we" and never "I," and never uses the word "cheap" because their customers hear it as "low quality." Another writes in short lines, uses first names, makes one joke per email, and signs off with the owner's name. Those details give a writer something to match and an editor something to check. An AI agent is well suited to this work. It can read a client's whole website and a year of their posts in minutes, quote the lines that show each habit, and apply the right record to every draft without sliding back to its own style. It also doesn't get tired at the end of a week of switching between twelve clients. Kite is an AI marketer. It researches your business, builds a growth strategy, and ships the work that brings you new customers. Agencies use Kite the same way companies do, with each client's brand kept on its own pages. Here's how it writes in each client's voice. ## How Kite writes in each client's brand voice Kite starts by learning the client's voice from their own words. It reads the client's website and any brand guide, approved past work, or reviews you share, then writes down how the client sounds on that client's own brand pages. Those pages become the source for everything Kite writes in the client's name. When you ask for a piece, Kite works out whose name it will go out under and writes from that brand's pages. It applies the client's voice to the format at hand, whether that's a LinkedIn post, a product email, or a landing page. Before the draft reaches you, Kite checks it against the client's voice record and fixes anything that doesn't fit. Then you review it. Kite asks for approval before it publishes a page, sends an email, or posts on social media. Every correction you make is kept with that client, so the next draft for them starts closer to right. ### How do I teach AI a client's tone of voice? You teach an AI a client's tone of voice by giving it the client's real writing and having it record the habits it finds, each one backed by a quoted line. A description of the tone is useful context, but the writing itself is the evidence. Kite does this as part of researching a client. It reads the client's home page and key pages, and it reads anything you hand over: a brand guide, a set of emails the client approved, their best-performing posts, or customer reviews that show how their buyers talk. From that material, Kite records: - how formal they are, how long their sentences run, and how much humor they allow - whether they speak as "we," "I," or the company name, and whether they address the reader as "you" - the phrases and ideas they keep coming back to, usually two to four main messages - what they never say or do, such as banned words, pressure tactics, false urgency, or naming competitors Each point sits next to the line that shows it and where that line came from. Kite also labels which parts it read directly from the copy and which parts it inferred, such as the brand's personality. A brand guide the client gave you outranks their website. If the guide says "never use exclamation marks" and the homepage uses three, Kite follows the guide and tells you about the mismatch rather than quietly picking one. Some agencies find that note useful on its own, because it's the start of a conversation with the client about their site. **Related pages** - Onboard a new agency client (coming soon): Set up a new client and capture what they know before the first piece of work. - [Define your brand voice](/use-cases/brand-voice.md): How Kite writes down a brand's voice when the brand doesn't have a guide yet. ### Write each piece from the right client's pages Every piece Kite writes follows one brand: the one whose name it goes out under. A client's newsletter, a client's landing page, and a social post from the client's account follow the client's voice and never your agency's. A case study on your agency's blog about the results you got for that client follows your agency's voice, even though it's about the client. That rule matters most in the work that sits between brands. If you ask for "the launch email for Harbour Bakery's new subscription," Kite writes it as Harbour Bakery, in their voice, with their sign-off. If you ask for "a LinkedIn post about the Harbour Bakery launch we ran," Kite writes it as your agency. There are two ways to keep clients apart in Kite. Most agencies give each client its own Kite team, so each client's voice, research, connected accounts, and work live in a separate workspace, and you switch between teams in the Kite web app. If you'd rather keep several clients in one team, Kite gives each client its own brand pages in that team's knowledge base and still writes each piece from the right one. Either way, one client's voice never borrows from another's. **Related pages** - Keep each client's work and knowledge separate (coming soon): Set up a team for each client so their facts, voice, accounts, and results stay apart. ### How do I produce social posts and emails in several different brand voices? You produce work in several brand voices by keeping one voice record per client and adjusting it for each channel, rather than keeping one style per channel and dropping each client into it. The client's voice stays the same everywhere. What changes is how it fits the format. Kite writes from the client's voice record and the format's own demands together. A brand that writes long, thoughtful paragraphs on its blog still needs a LinkedIn post that earns attention in the first line, and a short promotional email still needs a clear subject line and one action. Kite keeps the client's vocabulary, rhythm, and limits while it fits the piece to the channel. Some clients have rules that only apply to one kind of work. Their emails always come from the founder's first name, their Instagram captions are lowercase, or their ads never mention price. Kite keeps those as guidance for that kind of piece on the client's pages, so the rule shapes every email for that client without changing their blog posts. Kite also writes for the client's readers. It uses the words the client's customers use, drawn from the research and reviews, as long as those words fit the client's voice. When the two conflict, the client's voice wins. A law firm's clients may say "lawyer up," but the firm's newsletter still won't. When Kite needs material it doesn't have, it goes looking before it writes. If you ask for "a post about the new menu," Kite pulls the details from the client's site and knowledge base, so the post says something specific to that client. A post that could have come from any business in the client's category isn't finished. ### Check each draft against the client's voice before you see it Kite checks every draft against the client's voice record before handing it to you, so you spend your review on the substance instead of the tone. The writer reviews its own draft against the client's limits. Every word the client never uses and every move they avoid is checked, along with the patterns that make writing sound machine-made, such as stacked short sentences for drama or a closing line that restates the whole piece. Sometimes the client's voice record doesn't answer a question the piece raises. A client's pages might describe their emails in detail and say nothing about how they sound in a video script. In that case, Kite still delivers the draft and tells you which part of the voice it had to work without, so you can fill it in once for every later piece. ### Make each correction stick to the right client When you correct a draft, Kite keeps the correction with the client it belongs to. Your edit on Monday shapes Thursday's draft for that client, and it never leaks into another client's work. Kite files each correction where it fits. A correction about how the client sounds everywhere, such as "they never use exclamation marks" or "always 'customers,' never 'users,'" goes onto the client's voice page. A correction about one kind of piece, such as "keep their email subject lines under six words," goes onto the client's guidance for that format. When you correct or praise how Kite handled something more generally, Kite records it as a proposed rule for that client, and once its nightly review confirms the rule, it guides later work. Over a few weeks, this is what makes the drafts need less editing. The first draft for a new client reflects what Kite learned from their copy. The twentieth reflects that plus every correction you and the client made along the way. ## What you get - **A voice record for each client.** A page on how the client sounds, with a quoted line and its source behind each habit, plus a list of the words and moves they never use. - **Guidance for each kind of work.** The rules that apply to one client's emails, social posts, or ads, kept with that client and that format. - **Drafts in the client's voice.** Social posts, emails, blog posts, landing pages, ads, and scripts written from the client's own record. - **A brand check on every draft.** Anything that drifted from the client's voice is fixed before the draft reaches you, plus a note when the record was missing something the piece needed. - **Corrections that stay with the client.** Edits and preferences that shape every later piece for that client and no one else. ## How to get started Start with one client. Create a team for them in the Kite web app, or add them to your agency's team, and give Kite the client's website. You can work with Kite in your browser or in Slack. Then share whatever shows the client's voice best. You might upload their brand guide, paste three emails they loved, or say, "Here are the posts that did best for this client last quarter, and here's what their founder hates seeing in copy." Kite records the client's voice and shows you what it wrote down, so you can correct it before the first draft. After that, ask for work in plain language, such as "Write next week's three Instagram captions for Harbour Bakery" or "Draft the spring promotion email for the dental practice." Kite writes it in the client's voice and asks for your approval before anything is published or sent. Once you trust Kite's work for a client, you can give it more room to act on its own. Writing in a client's voice needs no connected accounts. Connect a client's social accounts, email product, or website CMS when you want Kite to publish there after you approve the work. ## Integrations used to write in each client's brand voice Kite learns each client's voice with its own built-in research, which reads the client's website and anything you share. It keeps the voice record in the client's knowledge base, so no extra account is needed to write in that voice. ### Publish in the client's name Connect the client's own accounts when you want Kite to publish the work rather than hand you ready-to-paste drafts. Kite posts through the client's connected social accounts, sends email through a connected email product, and updates the client's website through its CMS, after the approvals you've set for that client. If Kite builds and hosts a website for the client, it publishes there directly. ## Common questions ### What is a brand voice example? A brand voice example is a real line of a brand's copy that shows one of its habits. "We'll have your order on the porch by Friday" shows a brand that is plain-spoken and makes specific promises. A list of adjectives like "friendly and reliable" describes a voice, but an example shows a writer how to produce it. For a longer set of examples and ways to keep a whole team of writers on-brand, see brand voice examples and how to keep every writer on-brand (coming soon). ### What if a client doesn't have a brand guide? Most small clients don't, and Kite can work without one. It builds the voice record from the copy the client already has: their website, their past emails and posts, and any work they approved. Reviews and customer messages help too, because they show how the client's buyers talk. Once the record exists, you can share it with the client as a starting point for a real guide. ### Is this different from pasting a client's brand guide into ChatGPT? Yes, mainly in what happens after the first conversation. A pasted guide helps for that chat, and carrying it into later chats means setting up a ChatGPT project with the guide for each client. Kite keeps each client's voice record, checks every draft against it before you see it, and keeps your corrections with that client from then on. It also works out whose voice a piece needs, so a client's email and your agency's post about that client each come out in the right voice. ### Can Kite write in the voice of a client's founder? Yes. A founder's personal voice is different from their company's brand voice, and Kite keeps a separate profile for each named person, built from their own writing. Posts under the founder's name use their profile, and the company's newsletter uses the brand's. See [write in an executive's own voice](/use-cases/executive-voice-ghostwriting.md) for how that works. ### Can the client approve the drafts themselves? Yes, if you invite them into their own Kite team. Anyone in the team can review drafts and approve work in the conversation, and the client's edits teach Kite their voice the same way yours do. Many agencies keep the team to their own staff instead and send the client finished drafts for sign-off. ### How do I know the client's brand still sounds right after we hand the work over? You can ask Kite to review the client's public pages and posts on a schedule and compare them with the client's voice record. Kite reports where new copy has drifted, such as a new page that uses words the client's guide rules out. See check whether a client's brand has drifted (coming soon) for the full process.
