How does a new writer stay on brand before they have read the whole style guide? What do you hand a freelancer or a support agent on day one so their first sentence already sounds like you? A full voice document is great, but nobody reads twelve pages before writing a button label. The AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List gives you the fast reference they can scan in a minute and actually use.
Short answer: The AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List turns your brand voice into paired examples, say this not that, so any writer can copy the tone at a glance instead of reading a long guide.
What is AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List?
The AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List is a free tool that writes a scannable voice reference. Instead of describing your tone in adjectives, it shows it in pairs: a phrase you would use next to a phrase you would not. That contrast is the fastest way to teach a voice, because a writer sees the target and the trap side by side.
You describe your brand, set a tone, and the tool returns do and don't pairs across the places writing actually happens: greetings, buttons, error messages, empty states, and money or safety talk. It is the one page you pin above a desk, not the document you file and forget.
Start with three words Before you generate, name three words your brand is and three it is not. Warm not chummy, clear not clinical, confident not cocky. Those six words give the AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List the tension it needs to write sharp pairs.
Why Use AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List?
Adjectives do not travel well. Tell five writers to sound "friendly and professional" and you get five different results. The AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List replaces the guesswork with concrete examples, so the target is a phrase, not a mood.
It also cuts onboarding time. A pair like "say Let's fix that, not Error 402" teaches more in one line than a paragraph about empathy. New writers copy the pattern, support agents keep replies on brand, and reviewers have something specific to point at.
- Turns a fuzzy tone into examples anyone can copy.
- Covers the small surfaces that make or break voice: buttons, errors, empty states.
- Gives editors a clear line to cite instead of a vague "this feels off".
Who Should Use It?
The AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List helps anyone who has to keep several hands writing in one voice.
- Brand and content leads onboarding freelancers or a new hire.
- Support teams who want replies that sound human and on brand.
- Product and UX writers naming buttons, states, and error copy.
- Agencies who need a client's voice pinned down fast before a project starts.
- Founders who feel their voice but have never written it down.

How Does AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List Work?
The tool is one screen, read from top to bottom. Here is the flow.
- In the prompt box, describe your brand, who you talk to, and the words you are and are not.
- Pick an AI model. The same brief runs through MSB AI, OpenAI ChatGPT, Anthropic Claude AI, Qwen, or OpenRouter AI, and each has its own ear for tone.
- Open the advanced options accordion and set Tone, Writing Style, Target Audience, Output Format, the toggles, and the Detail Level slider.
- Press Generate. The output card fills with your pairs and shows a live word count as it writes.
- Work the result. Copy the whole list, hit Listen to hear the tone read aloud, Reuse it as the seed for a tighter version, or Download it on its own.
When it reads right, export to DOC, TXT, or HTML for your team wiki. The activity history panel below keeps every earlier version from the session, so you can compare a formal draft against a friendly one before you commit.
| What you type | What shifts in the pairs |
|---|---|
| "Warm, plain, never salesy" | Softer do lines and don't lines that flag hype words |
| "Executive audience, formal" | Tighter, more measured phrasing on both sides |
| "Focus on error and empty states" | More pairs for support and product copy |
Feed it real copy Paste two or three sentences you have already written into Custom Instructions. The AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List will match your existing rhythm instead of inventing a voice from scratch.
Setting Tone, Style, And Format
The advanced options decide who the list sounds like and how it lays out. Every control below is real in the AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List.
| Option | What it controls | When to change it | Suggested starting point |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tone | The feeling: Professional, Friendly, Formal, Casual, Confident, Persuasive, Empathetic, Neutral, Enthusiastic, or Playful | Match how your brand talks | Friendly, a safe base you can sharpen later |
| Writing Style | The craft: Concise, Descriptive, Persuasive, Analytical, Narrative, Instructional, Technical, Academic, or Creative | Match the kind of copy you write most | Concise, since a reference should be tight |
| Target Audience | Who reads you: General, Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, Executive, Students, Consumer (B2C), or Business (B2B) | Match your real reader | Consumer (B2C) for everyday copy |
| Output Format | The layout: Paragraph, Bullet Points, Numbered List, Table, Q and A, Step by Step, Outline, Report, Email, or Structured Sections | Pick how you want to pin it up | Table, which sets do beside don't |
| Include Examples | Adds sample phrases to each rule | Almost always for a voice list | On, examples are the whole point |
| Include Tips | Adds a short note on why a pair works | When training new writers | On, to teach the reasoning |
| Use Markdown Formatting | Wraps the output in Markdown | When pasting into a Markdown wiki | Off for a clean paste into most docs |
| Be Concise | Trims every line to essentials | When the list feels wordy | On, a reference should be brief |
| Detail Level | How many pairs and how much context, on a 1 to 100 slider | Higher for a fuller list | Around 60 for a solid one-pager |
| Custom Instructions | A free text box for extra rules or pasted copy | When you have banned words or real samples | Paste two real sentences to match your rhythm |
One honest limit A do and don't list is a summary, not the full brand voice guide. It cannot settle every edge case, and its pairs are only as sharp as the brand context you feed it. Treat it as the quick reference and keep a deeper guide for the hard calls.
What A Do And Don't List Includes
The value is in the pairing. A rule on its own is easy to nod at and forget. A rule shown as a phrase you keep next to a phrase you cut is easy to copy under pressure. A good list from this tool usually covers:
- Greetings and sign offs, where warmth or stiffness shows first.
- Buttons and links, where jargon quietly creeps in.
- Error and empty states, where a brand either reassures or scolds.
- Money, privacy, and safety talk, where plain honesty matters most.
Example Output
Say you run a friendly personal savings app called Perch, aimed at everyday users who feel nervous about money. A slice of the list might read like this.
| Where it shows | Do say this | Do not say this |
|---|---|---|
| Welcome screen | Hey, good to have you. Let's set your first goal. | Dear valued customer, begin your onboarding journey. |
| Failed payment | That didn't go through. Let's try again. | Error 402: transaction declined. |
| Main button | Start my first goal | Submit |
| Empty savings | Nothing here yet. Small steps add up. | No data available. |
| Fee notice | Here's exactly what this costs you. | Applicable charges may apply per terms. |
Read the right column and you hear a wall. Read the left and you hear Perch. That gap is the whole job of the AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List.
Best Use Cases
The list earns its place wherever more than one person writes for your brand.
- Onboarding a freelancer or new hire in their first hour.
- Briefing an agency so drafts land close to your voice.
- Keeping support replies warm and consistent across a team.
- Aligning product copy so buttons and errors sound like the marketing site.
Comparison Table
A do and don't list is one of three voice documents, and they do different jobs. Reach for the right one.
| Document | Best for | Reading time |
|---|---|---|
| Do and Don't List | A fast reference a writer scans before typing | About a minute |
| Full Voice Guide | The deep rules, values, and edge cases | Ten minutes or more |
| Style Guide | Grammar, spelling, and formatting rules | A reference you search, not read |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need an account to use the AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List?
No. It is free and runs in your browser. Describe your brand, pick a model, and generate. Nothing to install and no login before you see your pairs.
How is this different from a full brand voice guide?
The list is the quick reference; the guide is the deep document. This tool gives you scannable do and don't pairs a writer copies in seconds, while a full guide holds the values, rules, and edge cases behind them.
What surfaces should I ask it to cover?
Start with the small copy that leaks first: greetings, buttons, error messages, and empty states. Name those in the prompt and the tool will weight its pairs toward them.
Can I match it to my existing writing?
Yes. Paste two or three real sentences into Custom Instructions. The tool will echo your rhythm and word choices instead of inventing a voice from nothing.
Which Output Format is best for a do and don't list?
Table works best, since it sets the do phrase beside the don't phrase in one eye line. Bullet Points is a fine second choice if you plan to paste it into a simple doc.
Will it handle every tricky edge case?
No. A short reference cannot rule on everything. Use it for the common surfaces and keep a human in the loop, plus a fuller guide, for the hard judgment calls.
Thank you for reading, and here is to writers who sound like you from their very first sentence. A clear set of pairs beats a page of adjectives every time, and the AI Brand Voice Do and Don't List gets you there in a few minutes.
