Sharpen the voice

Sharpen the voice gives Buzz more to copy than the website: posts that sound right, words to avoid, calls to action, hashtags and posting languages.

Posts that sound right weigh the most, because Buzz copies their rhythm and word choice first, up to 6 at a time.

Buzz also learns from your published posts and your edits to its drafts, and the profile changes only when you keep what it proposes.

Posts that sound right

These are the posts Buzz copies first when it writes for this Hive, up to 6 at a time. With fewer than 6, it fills in from Your posts. Buzz takes their rhythm and word choice, never their topic.

  1. 1. On your Hive profile, go to Sharpen the voice.

  2. 2. Under Posts that sound right, press Add.

  3. 3. Under Your posts, pick up to 10 from your connected accounts, or open Paste one and paste a post from anywhere.

  4. 4. Press the button that counts your picks, such as Add 3 posts, or Add post for a pasted one.

A profile holds up to 30. Every change in Sharpen the voice saves as you make it.

Words to avoid, calls to action and hashtags

Words to avoid are words and phrases Buzz never writes for this brand, up to 60. Type one and press Enter or a comma. Buzz checks every post it writes against the list.

Calls to action are links a post can end with, up to 12. Give each one a Short tag, such as Book a table, or an Own sentence for Buzz to use as you wrote it.

Hashtags stay off until you switch on Let Buzz add hashtags. On, Buzz adds at most 3 to a post, 5 on TikTok, and picks from Your hashtags first. You can list up to 30, typed without the #.

Posting languages

The Main posting language is the one Buzz writes this brand's posts in. A website read proposes it, and until one is set, Buzz writes in the language of what you give it. Buzz writes in English, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, German, French, Spanish and Dutch.

Add up to 2 more under Also posts in with Add a language. Choosing one of those when Buzz writes is coming soon.

Learn from your posts

Buzz reads your best posts from the last 6 months, ranked by likes, comments, shares and saves, and proposes the ones that sound most like the brand, plus a voice written from them.

  1. 1. Under Learn from your posts, press Read my posts.

  2. 2. On each proposed post, press the tick to keep it or the × to drop it, then press again to confirm. A kept post joins Posts that sound right.

  3. 3. Under How your posts sound, press Use this voice and then Replace it to take the new voice, or press Keep the one I have.

Nothing changes until you answer. With fewer than 5 posts that have numbers, Buzz reads your newest instead of your best. It reads again by itself each month and after 20 new posts, and the bell tells you when a proposal waits.

Your posts is everything this Hive learns from. If a post sounds like another of your brands, select it and use Move to: pick that brand's Hive, or Not my voice so no Hive learns from it. A post written in Buzzmark stays with the Hive it was written for.

Rules from your edits

Buzz noticed compares what Buzz wrote with what you published, and names the changes you make again and again as rules, such as cutting the closing question or using your own word in place of Buzz's.

  1. 1. Under Buzz noticed, press Read my edits.

  2. 2. Press the tick to keep a rule or the × to drop it, then press again to confirm.

Kept rules go into Rules Buzz follows, and Buzz writes every post for this Hive that way. Remove one there with its trash button. A rule you dropped isn't proposed again. Buzz reads your edits again after 10 more posts you edit, and the bell tells you when it finds a rule.

Products

Products is what the brand sells, up to 40. Buzz writes about each one by name and uses its photo when it makes a picture of it. Press Add a product, give it a name, a description and up to 3 photos (JPEG, PNG or WEBP, 8 MB each), and press Save.

Read the whole site under What Buzz knows adds the products it finds, marked From the site. Personal Hives have no products of their own.

Questions

Do these steps use up my monthly limits?

No. Adding posts, reading your posts and reading your edits are all part of setting up the Hive, so none of them count.

Why isn't a word I swapped in Words to avoid?

A word swap lives in Rules Buzz follows only. Buzz keeps the old word out of its posts all the same.
