An Expert Voice changes how Chief responds — its tone, perspective, and style. Want answers like a business executive, a coach, or explained simply? Pick an Expert Voice and Chief speaks that way until you change it.

Choose an Expert Voice

Chief: Expert Voice — the Respond as picker of voices
  1. In the prompt bar, expand Using:, then click the voice chip. On a new task it may read Chief; after you remove the voice, it reads Voice.
  2. The Respond in this Expert Voice panel opens.
  3. Browse the list of Expert Voices, or type in the Search Expert Voices box to filter.
  4. Click a voice to select it. The chip now shows that voice’s name, and Chief will answer in it.
Good to know: Chief ships with ready-made Expert Voices — such as a business executive, an executive advisor, a coach, a brevity-focused voice, and an ELI5 (“explain like I’m five”) voice. You can also create your own.

Switch back to Default

Chief: Expert Voice — the active voice chip with x to switch back to Default
To stop using a specialist voice, click the × on the active voice or open the panel and click Reset to default beside Selected. The chip returns to Voice, and Chief uses its neutral default voice.

Expert Voices vs. Skills

An Expert Voice shapes how Chief communicates. A Skill gives Chief task-specific know-how. They are different tools; the Respond-as flyout focuses on Expert Voices, and you can create either one.
