Writing your question

The question is the heart of a voicer. Here is how to write it, add context, set how long the answer should be, and steer the blend with response criteria.

# The question and its details

The Question field reading “How is regulation 743 going to impact your bottom line in the next 18 months?”, an optional Details field for context to your crowd, and a Response length selector with Short, Medium, Long (selected) and Auto. — The Question field is what your crowd sees first. The optional Details field underneath gives your crowd context; it is shown to them but is not fed to the blend. Response length controls how long the blended answer reads.

Ask one clear question. The Question field is what your crowd sees first, so keep it to a single idea they can answer in a sentence or two. The Details field below it is optional context, a place to frame the question or set the tone without crowding the headline. Details is shown only to the people answering; it is not fed to the blend and does not steer the one voice.

You can edit the question at any time, even while the voicer is live. Voices already submitted stay on the list, so it is best to settle the wording before you share widely.

# Response length

Response length tells the AI how long the one voice should be. It does not limit what people type, only how the blended answer reads.

Medium, Long, and Auto are available on the Creator plan and up. The free Starter plan blends short answers.

Short: A tight, one or two sentence summary. The only length on the free Starter plan.
Medium: A short paragraph that captures the main themes.
Long: A fuller answer with room for nuance and supporting points.
Auto: One Voicer picks a length that fits how much your crowd actually said.

# Response criteria Creator plan

The optional Response criteria field, labelled “steers the blend; shown to your crowd”, with the example text “Favor funny answers. Skip anything off-topic.” — Response criteria is added to the blend, so it directly shapes the one voice. It is shown to your crowd as they answer, so they can see how their words are being blended.

Response criteria is an optional instruction that is added to the blend, so it directly affects the one voice. It is also shown to your crowd as they answer, so they understand how you are blending the voice of the people. Something like “Favor funny answers. Skip anything off-topic.” pushes the one voice toward the tone and focus you want.

Criteria steers how voices are woven together rather than filtering the list. Every voice is still collected and counted; the criteria only guides the output.

# Frequently asked

Can I change the question after going live?

Yes. You can edit the question and details at any time. Voices already submitted stay on the list, so finalize the wording before sharing widely if you can.

Does response length limit what people can type?

No. Response length only sets how long the blended one voice is. It does not change the answer box; either way, every voice is capped at 280 characters, so responses stay short.

Does response criteria filter out answers?

No. Criteria is added to the blend and shapes how the one voice reads, and it is shown to respondents as they answer. It does not remove any voice; every voice is still collected. To exclude a specific answer, remove it from the Voices list.
