Using Brand Profile Toggle
The Brand Profile toggle (👤 icon) controls whether the AI has context about your brand.
When It's ON (Highlighted Yellow):
AI has access to all your Brand Profile info:
About You section
Voice & Style examples
Content Pillars and topics
Content is personalized to your brand voice
Recommendations match your niche
Scripts/posts sound authentic to YOU
When It's OFF (Gray):
AI has no context about your brand
Responses are generic
Useful for general questions unrelated to your brand
When to Turn It ON:
Writing scripts, posts, emails
Creating content for your brand
Getting personalized recommendations
Content strategy planning
When to Turn It OFF:
General knowledge questions
Research not specific to your brand
Testing different styles
Asking about the platform itself
Pro Tip: Keep it ON by default if you've filled out your Brand Profile. It makes every response better.
