You can use the AI-powered brand voice tools to tailor generated or written content to your brand's specific voice. The tools will analyze your writing's personality and tone. 

Once brand voice is turned on, you can apply it to social posts, emails, blog posts, website & landing pages, and SMS messages. Brand voice will not automatically be applied to existing content. 

Currently, brand voice is available in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, and Japanese for social, email, blog, page and SMS message content.
