What a tone of voice preset is

A tone of voice preset is a saved description that tells CreateUpon how to write your course content. CreateUpon passes the preset to the AI that generates lessons, so the output matches the style you want.

CreateUpon includes 7 built-in tones:

  • friendly and informational

  • casual and conversational

  • enthusiastic and motivational

  • empathetic and supportive

  • technical and detailed

  • creative and imaginative

  • urgent and persuasive

You can use a built-in tone as is, or create your own. Custom presets show a [Custom] label in tone dropdowns.

Create a tone preset during course creation

You can save a preset while you create a course.

1. Create a course from your CreateUpon dashboard.

2. In the Tone of Voice field, select a built-in tone or enter your own description.

3. Select Save Tone Preset.

4. Enter a name for the preset and confirm.

CreateUpon adds the preset to your organization's preset library. All members can then apply it to their courses.

Note: Preset names can be up to 255 characters. If a preset with the same name exists, CreateUpon adds a numeric suffix, for example "My preset (1)".

Apply a preset to an existing course

You can change the tone of voice on a course after you create it.

Tips for writing good presets

A clear description helps CreateUpon match the tone you want. - -

  • describe the audience and the feeling the content should create - - -

  • include example phrases or words that reflect the tone

  • keep the description focused on tone, not on course structure or subject matter

  • pair adjectives with short context, for example "technical and precise, for software engineers"

Tip: Test a preset on a short course first. Review the generated lessons before you share the preset with your organization.
