Anthropic introduced a new feature in Claude on Tuesday that will allow the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot to generate responses in users' preferred writing style. Dubbed Custom Style, the new feature is aimed at the chatbot's responses more in tune with how the user generally writes and prefers to read. With this personalisation feature, users can either select from three preset options or add their own writing sample to make the AI adopt that style. The company has rolled out the new feature to all Claude users.

While chatbots powered by large language models (LLMs) are capable of generating content on virtually any topic, often the limiter becomes the writing style. The AI can sometimes generate content in an overly formal tone that might not be suited for a message generated for a friend, or use a flowery language that might be too flashy for an academic paper.

While some AI tools, such as Google's Gemini in Gmail and Docs or Samsung's Galaxy AI in Notes offer users some presets to control the tonality of the generated output, usually such tools are not available within major AI chatbots. For most cases, the only workaround is to detail the desired writing style manually in every prompt.

In a newsroom post, Anthropic announced the release of the Custom Styles feature that will make this process easier. The new feature is available to all users across all platforms. To use it, users can go to Claude and see a new quill icon added at the bottom of the text field, next to the AI model selection button.

Once a user taps on the icon, users can see four preset options — Normal, Concise, Formal, and Explanatory. The Formal style generates clear and polished responses while the Concise style generates shorter and direct responses. Anthropic says the Explanatory style is suitable for “educational responses for learning new concepts.”

Apart from this, users can also create custom styles. The process is simple. Users can tap on the “Create and Edit Styles” option which opens a new pop-up window. The users can either paste a writing sample of theirs or upload a document. Claude can analyse the content for the writing structure, tonality, word preference, and more.

Gadgets 360 staff members were able to test out the feature. The feature appears to be working properly, however, in practical usage, we found the AI was not able to pick up on the writing nuances and resorted to only following the general outlines of the writing style.
