How do I make Happyly more (or less) wordy?
My Account → Preferences → Chat Style. Pick Concise, Normal, or Comprehensive. Or tell Happyly — "be more concise" works in chat.
Chat style controls how much Happyly says. Three options:
- Concise — short, transactional. "Got it. 2:15 nap logged." Best when you're tired and just want fast acknowledgement.
- Normal — the default. Brief context plus a follow-up suggestion when relevant.
- Comprehensive — fuller explanations and more research-backed context. Best when you're trying to learn or are working through something tricky.
Where to change it.
- My Account → Preferences → Chat Style.
- Or the settings button in the menu on the right.
- Or just tell Happyly in chat "be more concise" or "explain things more." Happyly offers a confirmation and the preference saves.
It's a global preference.
The setting applies to every conversation — including future ones — until you change it again. Voice modes are always brief regardless of the setting — replies are read aloud, so length matters more than usual.
