How to train Levee on your voice: a step-by-step guide to style extraction
Style extraction is Levee's most important feature.
Everything else depends on it. The ghost-text. The rewrites. The outlines. They all rely on the voice profile.
Get it right, and every suggestion sounds like you. Get it wrong, and the magic disappears.
Here's how to do it properly.
What style extraction actually does
Levee reads your writing. It learns the patterns.
Your rhythm. Your vocabulary. Your sentence length. Your quirks. The words you reach for. The structures you lean on. The little things that make your writing yours.
Then every suggestion passes through that filter. The ghost-text sounds like you. The rewrites sound like you. The outlines sound like you.
The better the sample, the better the match.
Step 1: choose the right sample
This is the most important step.
Do use:
- Blog posts you've written. Especially the ones that felt natural.
- Client proposals. If they sound like you.
- Emails. The long ones. The ones where you didn't think about it.
- Articles. Published pieces. Your best work.
Don't use:
- Heavily edited content. If someone else polished it, it's not your voice.
- Generic marketing copy. It's not yours. It's the brand's.
- Technical documentation. It's functional, not expressive.
- Anything you didn't enjoy writing. It shows.
The sample should feel authentic. It should sound like you at your best. Not like you when you were tired. Not like you when you were following a template. You.
Step 2: length matters
Aim for 500-1000 words.
Too short, and Levee doesn't have enough data. Too long, and you're feeding it noise.
Quality matters more than quantity. A tight 500-word post beats a rambling 2000-word document.
If you're not sure, paste more. Levee will figure it out. But start with the best stuff.
Step 3: one sample or multiple
One good sample works. Multiple samples work better.
Paste a blog post. Paste an email. Paste a proposal. The more variety, the richer the profile.
Levee learns from everything. It picks up patterns across different contexts. The result is a voice that works for everything you write.
Step 4: the timing
Paste your sample. Levee builds the profile. It takes seconds.
Then start writing. The suggestions will already sound like you.
But the profile gets better over time. As you write more, Levee learns more. It adapts. It refines. It gets closer to your voice.
Think of it as a living document. Not a one-time setup.
Step 5: refine and update
Your writing changes. It should. You get better. Your style shifts.
Levee updates with you. Paste a new sample anytime. The profile adjusts. It learns the new patterns. It forgets the old ones.
This is especially useful if you change industries. Or shift to a different type of writing. Or just get better.
Common mistakes
Pasting generic content. If the sample doesn't sound like you, the output won't either.
Pasting edited content. If someone else polished it, it's not your voice.
Using outdated samples. Your writing from five years ago isn't you now.
Being too short. Levee needs data. Give it enough.
Never updating. Your voice changes. Levee should change with it.
What good looks like
Here's the test.
Write a sentence. Pause. See the suggestion.
It should feel natural. Like something you would have written. Not a surprise. Not a stretch. Just the next thing you were going to say.
When it feels like that, the extraction worked. When it doesn't, refine the sample. Paste more. Paste better.
The result
A voice that works for everything.
Blog posts that sound like you. Proposals that sound like you. Emails that sound like you. Every suggestion passing through the same filter. Every output consistent. Every word yours.
That's the point.
