Choose how the AI Assistant reasons and how it presents its responses.
Use the controls in the prompt composer to select a reasoning mode and adjust the Style, Tone, and Format of generated responses. These preferences remain active across chats until you change them.
Reasoning controls how the AI Assistant approaches a request. Style, Tone, and Format control how it presents the answer.
Choose a reasoning mode
Select the reasoning control in the prompt composer.
Choose a mode:
- General — Use for most questions and everyday tasks.
- Fast Reasoning — Use for straightforward tasks that benefit from a quicker response.
- Advanced — Use for complex questions that require more extensive reasoning.
Enter and submit your prompt.
Customize the response presentation
Style, Tone, and Format are independent. You can change one, two, or all three before submitting a prompt.
Select the response customization control in the prompt composer.
Set any of the following options:
- Style controls the amount and type of detail.
- Tone controls the voice of the response.
- Format controls how the information is organized.
Enter and submit your prompt.
The selected options remain active until you change or reset them.
Style
Choose the level and type of detail:
- Auto — Uses the default style behavior.
- Concise — Typically produces a shorter, more direct response.
- Descriptive — Typically adds detail and descriptive context.
- Explanatory — Typically emphasizes explanation and supporting context.
Tone
Choose the voice of the response:
- Auto — Uses the default tone behavior.
- Narrative — Uses a more story-driven voice.
- Empathetic — Uses a considerate and supportive voice.
- Direct — Uses straightforward language.
- Business Formal — Uses a formal, professional voice.
Format
Choose how the response is organized:
- Auto — Uses the default format behavior.
- Paragraph — Presents the answer as prose.
- Bullets — Presents the answer as a bulleted list.
- Numbered List — Presents the answer as an ordered list.
- Table — Organizes comparable information into rows and columns.
Reset Style, Tone, and Format
Use Reset all options to "Auto" to reset all three response-presentation settings at once.
Open the response customization control.
Select Reset all options to "Auto".
The reset applies only to Style, Tone, and Format. It does not change the selected reasoning mode.
Things to know
- Reasoning, Style, Tone, and Format remain active across chats until you change them.
- Resuming a saved chat keeps your current preferences. It does not restore the preferences previously used in that conversation.
- Style, Tone, and Format influence the response but do not override explicit instructions in every case.
- Reset all options to "Auto" does not reset the reasoning mode.
