voice profile overview
a voice profile captures how you write — vocabulary, rhythm, transitions, and guardrails — so hyv can score and rewrite against your real voice.
quick answer
read before creating or editing profiles.
use this for
- understanding what a profile contains
- deciding between init vs new
- explaining profiles to an ai assistant
steps
- profiles live locally and sync to your account when logged in.
- build with hyv init (guided) or hyv new <name> (manual).
- edit with hyv profile commands or the dashboard companion.
- use profiles with hyv rewrite, hyv fix, and hyv reinforce.
details to know
- profiles are not generic style presets — they learn from your samples.
- multiple profiles are supported on the multiple plan ($29/mo).
limits and edge cases
- profiles need enough writing samples to be useful — thin samples produce thin results.
- free scan works without a profile; profile-backed rewrite requires a paid plan.
