The Identity & Voice tab holds everything that defines how your brand shows up — what you stand for, who you’re for, and how you sound. Beat references these fields constantly when generating content, so keeping them accurate has a direct impact on output quality.Documentation Index

What’s in Identity & Voice
| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Brand name | Your business name as it appears in the market |
| Tagline | A short phrase that captures your positioning (optional but useful) |
| Positioning statement | Who you serve, what you do, and what makes you different — in one tight paragraph |
| Value proposition | The specific outcome or transformation you deliver to clients |
| Voice descriptors | 3–6 adjectives or short phrases that define your communication style |
| Tone guidelines | Nuance on how your tone shifts by context (e.g., “warmer in emails, more direct on LinkedIn”) |
| Banned phrases | Words or phrases Beat will never use in your content |
Fonts, colors, and logos live on the Visual tab — not Identity & Voice.
How to edit fields
Click directly on any field to edit it inline. Changes are saved automatically when you click out of the field. There’s no save button to hit.Voice descriptors
Voice descriptors are the single most powerful input for making Beat sound like you. They’re not just adjectives — they’re active signals Beat uses when generating every piece of content. Good voice descriptors are specific and create tension or contrast:- “Direct and opinionated, but never preachy”
- “Warm and encouraging without being fluffy”
- “Data-driven with personality — backs every claim up”
- “Contrarian — challenges conventional wisdom by default”
Tone guidelines
Tone guidelines go a layer deeper than voice descriptors. While descriptors define your overall style, tone guidelines capture how your voice adapts in different contexts. Examples:- “More formal in thought leadership articles, more casual in social posts”
- “Always direct in headlines and CTAs — no soft language”
- “Emails get a warmer, more personal opener than blog posts”
Banned phrases
Add any words or phrases you never want Beat to use. Common examples:- Overused AI phrases: “It’s important to note,” “In today’s digital landscape,” “game-changer,” “leverage”
- Industry jargon you’ve moved away from
- Competitor branding you want to stay clear of
- Phrases that feel off-brand for your voice
Using the text selection popup
The text selection popup works inside any Brand Beat field. Select any text in the tab, and a four-option popup appears:- Sharpen — Makes the language tighter and more specific. Best for positioning statements that feel vague.
- Simplify — Strips out complexity and makes the meaning clearer. Best for value propositions with too much jargon.
- Rewrite — Produces a fresh take on the same idea. Best when the current version doesn’t feel right but you’re not sure why.
- Fix tone — Rewrites the text to better match your voice descriptors. Best when you’ve drafted something but it doesn’t sound like you.
