Step-by-Step Guide: Customizing Your Charlie AI Settings

Step 1: Accessing Charlie AI Settings

  1. Navigate to Settings:

    • After logging into your AI Setter platform, access the settings for Charlie by clicking on the settings area within the AI Setter interface.

    • You can also access it by navigating through the main dashboard and selecting the relevant AI Setter.

Step 2: Customizing the Appearance and Timing

  1. Color Customization:

    • You can assign a unique color to your Charlie AI. This color will appear on the left-hand side of the interface for easier identification.

    • Different AI Setters can have different colors to differentiate them.

  2. Setting Message Delays:

    • You can adjust the wait time between messages. For example, between qualification messages, you can set a delay of 10 to 20 seconds to simulate a more natural conversation flow.

Step 3: Adjusting Persona, Tone, and Style

  1. Tone of Voice:

    • Choose a tone of voice for Charlie based on your audience and brand. Options include:

      • Friendly: For casual, approachable communication (e.g., fitness or lifestyle brands).

      • Blunt: For direct and to-the-point messaging (e.g., business-to-business, no-nonsense brands).

      • Professional: For formal, serious industries (e.g., law offices).

  2. Energy Level:

    • Set Charlie’s energy level to either:

      • Masculine

      • Feminine

      • Neutral

  3. Language Style:

    • Customize Charlie’s language style, choosing from options like:

      • Casual (with or without slang)

      • Formal

      • Empathetic

      • Technical

  4. Emotional Intelligence:

    • Adjust how emotionally intelligent Charlie should be:

      • Highly Emotional: For sensitive topics like life coaching or health.

      • Logic-Based: For tech or data-driven industries.

  5. Accent:

    • Choose between American, British, or Australian accents depending on your target audience.

Step 4: Additional Customization Options

  1. Using Emojis:

    • You can enable or disable the use of emojis in Charlie’s responses. This can add personality to interactions but should be consistent with your brand’s tone.

  2. Typos:

    • Charlie can be set to intentionally make typos to appear more human. However, this should be avoided for more formal industries, like law firms, where professionalism is key.

  3. Capitalization of Sentences:

    • You can enable Charlie to capitalize the first word of every sentence to make responses more readable and professional.

  4. Ban Phrases:

    • If Charlie uses phrases that don’t align with your brand, you can add those phrases to a ban list. For example, if Charlie uses "dear" and your audience finds that outdated, you can ban that word.

Step 5: Inputting Business Information

  1. Business Details:

    • Provide detailed information about your business, including:

      • Business name, owner’s name, industry, target audience, and services offered.

    • This helps Charlie understand the context and provide more personalized responses.

  2. Pricing Information:

    • You can choose to add pricing information here or in the Knowledge Base if you want Charlie to mention costs during conversations.

Step 6: Handling Disqualifications (Vets)

  1. Disqualification Message:

    • Charlie uses a single disqualification (vet) message for now. When a lead is disqualified, Charlie will send this message.

    • You can customize this message to be polite and helpful. Many businesses use this as an opportunity to provide value, such as offering free resources or redirecting to other platforms (e.g., YouTube, Instagram).

    • Example: "I understand. Here are some free resources if you'd like to learn more. We’ll reach out when it's a better time."

Step 7: Using Custom Values

  1. Custom Variables:

    • You can use custom values like the lead’s first name, agent’s name, or company name in Charlie’s messages.

    • For example, you can dynamically insert the lead’s first name into a message by selecting "Lead First Name" from the custom values list.

Step 8: Adjusting the Schedule

  1. Time Zone Selection:

    • Set the time zone for your AI Setter. A common practice is to use Mountain Time Zone as a middle ground between Pacific and Eastern time zones, but you can select whichever suits your business.

  2. Working Hours for Charlie:

    • By default, Charlie operates 24/7. This means that if a lead opts in at any time, Charlie will start the conversation immediately.

    • Follow-Up Schedule:

      • For follow-ups, set a schedule (e.g., 8 AM - 8 PM) to avoid sending messages at inconvenient hours, like early in the morning or late at night. This ensures you don’t annoy leads with messages at 3 AM.

Step 9: Booking and Auto-Booking (If Applicable)

  1. Auto-Booking:

    • If you’re using auto-booking features, there will be a specific section to manage this, but the setup may vary based on your use case.

    • Auto-booking can allow Charlie to automatically schedule appointments with leads if certain conditions are met.
