Your AskHandle’s style is a reflection of the data you've provided for its training. If this data predominantly uses third-person references for yourself or your company, the chatbot might mirror this approach. As a result, it might reply in the third person when addressing customer inquiries, even when first-person responses would be more appropriate.

AskHandle’s AI is built around text-based training and fine-tuning, meaning that only text can be used to set up and train your AI. If you try to import content that includes images or videos—such as a webpage with visual elements or files that embed multimedia content—the AI will not be able to process that information. Fine-tuning can only occur when the imported data is purely text-based.
