Most people use about 30% of Kretell's capabilities.
They upload a couple of LinkedIn posts, generate some content, and stop there. The results are good—better than generic AI—but they're missing the full potential.
Kretell isn't just a LinkedIn content generator. It's a voice profiling system that learns your authentic patterns and becomes more valuable the more you invest in it.
Think of it this way: your voice profile isn't just for today's LinkedIn posts. It's a professional identity asset that powers everything Kretell builds—LinkedIn content now, blog articles soon, research reports eventually, email drafts down the line.
The time you invest training your voice profile today compounds. Every sample you upload, every edit you make, every preference you set—all of it makes your voice profile more sophisticated and more valuable across every future feature.
This guide shows you how to maximize that value.
Phase 1: Voice Profile Foundation (First 48 Hours)
Your voice profile is the foundation of everything Kretell does. The better trained it is, the better every piece of content becomes—not just now, but across all future features.
What to Upload (And Why It Matters)
Kretell analyzes 100 linguistic markers across 11 categories. To capture your authentic voice accurately, you need variety:
Best Samples to Upload:
2-3 LinkedIn Posts (Required)
- Posts where you felt: "This sounds exactly like me"
- Mix of topics (achievement, learning, industry insight)
- Different lengths (short 300-word, medium 600-word, long 1,000-word)
- Posts that got genuine engagement from your network
1-2 Blog Articles or Long-Form Content (Highly Recommended)
- Longer content reveals sentence rhythm and structural patterns
- Shows how you develop complex ideas across multiple paragraphs
- Captures your natural transition style and argumentation flow
1 Document or Email (Optional But Valuable)
- Professional emails to clients or colleagues
- Internal memos or strategy documents
- Anything that shows your natural business communication
Why Variety Matters:
Each content type reveals different aspects of your voice:
- LinkedIn posts: Your public-facing professional tone
- Blog articles: Your deeper analytical style
- Documents/emails: Your practical communication patterns
Upload at least 3-5 diverse samples in your first session.
Pro Tip: Don't upload your "best" writing. Upload your most authentic writing—the pieces where you didn't overthink, where your natural voice came through.
Understanding the Analysis Process
When you upload samples, Kretell analyzes across 100 markers covering:
Linguistic DNA (15 markers): Average sentence length and variation, vocabulary sophistication, passive vs active voice preference, punctuation style and rhythm.
Tone & Personality (12 markers): Formality calibration, humor frequency and type, confidence level, directness vs diplomatic communication.
Content Patterns (10 markers): Data vs story balance, how you teach or explain concepts, example and evidence usage, context depth you naturally provide.
Plus 8 more categories covering structure, audience awareness, idiosyncratic quirks, engagement style, visual preferences, expertise positioning, and boundaries.
This analysis creates your voice identity—a profile that powers not just LinkedIn content, but every format Kretell expands into. Blog generation? Your voice profile adapts it. Research reports? Same profile, different format. Email drafting? Same authentic patterns, professional context.
The investment you make now pays dividends across everything Kretell becomes.
Phase 2: Progressive Refinement (First 2 Weeks)
Here's what most users don't realize: Kretell learns from every edit you make.
This is the progressive learning system—the AI doesn't analyze your samples once and stop. It watches how you refine generated content and incorporates those preferences into future generations.
How to Edit Strategically
When Kretell generates content, don't just accept or reject it. Edit it—and edit strategically.
Every edit teaches the AI:
If you consistently shorten sentences: The AI learns you prefer punchier writing and adjusts future generations.
If you remove formal phrases: The AI calibrates down formality levels for your profile.
If you add specific data points: The AI learns you're more data-driven than initially detected.
If you change opening styles: The AI refines its understanding of how you naturally begin posts.
The Strategy:
For your first 10-15 generated posts, take 5 minutes to edit each one. Make the content sound exactly like you would write it from scratch.
These edits aren't wasted time—they're training data that makes every future generation better. After 10-15 edited posts, you'll notice the AI getting it right more often. Editing time drops as the voice profile sharpens.
This progressive refinement is permanent. Your voice profile gets smarter, more accurate, more valuable—and that enhanced profile will power all future Kretell features with the same precision.
The Similarity Detection System
Kretell includes a similarity detector that flags if generated content is too close to something you've posted before.
Why this matters: Repetitive content damages credibility. If readers see the same patterns repeatedly, engagement drops.
When Kretell flags high similarity, don't just regenerate. Ask yourself:
- Am I posting about the same topic too frequently?
- Have I exhausted fresh angles on this subject?
- Should I explore different themes for a while?
The similarity detector protects your professional reputation. Trust it.
Pro Tip: If you get a high similarity warning but the topic genuinely needs revisiting, use the "Insight-Driven" variation. It tends to produce more analytical angles versus repeating established patterns.
Phase 3: Mastering the Three Variations
Every topic in Kretell generates three variations: Data-Driven, Story-Driven, and Insight-Driven.
Most users pick randomly. Power users understand when to use each.
Data-Driven Variation
When to use: Quarterly results, industry trend analysis, technical explanations, B2B audiences who expect numbers, when you want to establish credibility through evidence.
What it emphasizes: Statistics, concrete examples with specifics, rational argumentation, evidence-based conclusions.
Best for: Technical professionals, analysts, consultants, finance, anyone in data-heavy industries.
Story-Driven Variation
When to use: Personal learning experiences, client success stories (anonymized), behind-the-scenes challenges, cultural or team insights, when emotional connection matters more than data.
What it emphasizes: Narrative arc, personal vulnerability and authenticity, relatable situations, human elements over statistics.
Best for: HR professionals, coaches, entrepreneurs sharing journey, anyone building personal brand through storytelling.
Insight-Driven Variation
When to use: Thought leadership, counterintuitive observations, framework or methodology sharing, strategic analysis, when you want to challenge conventional thinking.
What it emphasizes: Unique perspective, analytical depth, pattern recognition, fresh takes on common problems.
Best for: Strategy consultants, executives, thought leaders, anyone positioning as an industry expert.
The Power User Strategy
Generate all three. Read them. Notice which feels most authentically you for this specific topic.
Over time, you'll develop instincts:
- "This topic needs data credibility → Data-Driven"
- "This experience is best told as story → Story-Driven"
- "This observation challenges norms → Insight-Driven"
The AI adapts each variation to YOUR voice. A Data-Driven post from you looks completely different from a Data-Driven post from someone else. Your voice profile ensures every variation sounds authentically you.
Phase 4: Advanced Features Most People Miss
Quick Voice Boosts
Quick Voice Boosts are rapid preference settings: emoji usage, vulnerability level, humor frequency, data focus.
When to use them:
Early on (Week 1-2): If your initial voice profile isn't quite right, Quick Boosts provide fast calibration.
For specific campaigns: Running a product launch? Temporarily boost confidence and data focus. Sharing team culture content? Boost warmth and storytelling.
Testing voice variations: Want to experiment with a slightly more confident or more humble voice? Quick Boosts let you test without permanently altering your profile.
Important: Quick Boosts refine, they don't replace. Your core voice profile remains the foundation.
Self-Serve Questions (The Deep Calibration)
Beyond initial onboarding, Kretell offers detailed optional self-serve questions covering everything from teaching style to citation preferences to pop culture reference frequency.
Most users skip these. Power users complete them strategically.
These questions capture nuances the AI can't detect from writing samples alone:
- Do you prefer Socratic questioning or direct instruction when teaching?
- How frequently do you reference analogies?
- What's your comfort level sharing failures publicly?
- Do you cite sources formally or casually?
The Strategic Approach:
Don't answer everything at once. Answer in waves:
Week 1: Complete the questions in categories most relevant to your content type.
Week 3: After generating 15-20 posts, answer questions to refine areas where you consistently edited AI output.
Week 6: Complete remaining questions to reach maximum voice profile sophistication.
Why this works: you'll have real experience with Kretell's outputs by then. You'll know exactly which areas need refinement. Your answers will be informed by usage, not guesses.
Cultural Intelligence Settings
If you selected a country during onboarding, Kretell automatically applies cultural intelligence calibration.
What this does:
India: Humble framing, team-crediting, formal tone, "learnings" (Indian English) Australia: Downplayed achievements, Tall Poppy avoidance, self-deprecating humor Singapore: Formal, meritocratic, nation-building context Netherlands: Blunt directness, factual pride, mistake acknowledgment Philippines: Faith and family acknowledgment, Bayanihan spirit, mentor crediting And 14 other countries...
Power User Tip:
If you work across multiple markets, you can generate content adapted for different audiences:
- Indian stakeholders: Use your India-calibrated profile
- American headquarters: Temporarily adjust cultural settings for US tone
- European partners: Switch to appropriate European market calibration
Your core voice remains consistent. Cultural intelligence adapts expression appropriately for each audience.
Phase 5: Workflows That Compound Value
The Weekly Workflow
Monday (15 minutes): Review trending topics in your dashboard. Select 2-3 relevant to your expertise. Flag which variation type suits each.
Tuesday (20 minutes): Generate content for Topic #1. Read all three variations. Select best fit, edit for 5 minutes. Schedule for Wednesday.
Thursday (20 minutes): Generate content for Topic #2. Edit and schedule for Friday.
Result: Two high-quality authentic posts per week with under an hour of total time investment.
The Batch Creation Workflow
Monthly (90 minutes): List 8-10 topics for the month. Generate all content in one session. Edit each for 5-7 minutes. Schedule across 4 weeks.
Benefit: Consistent posting without weekly pressure. Your voice profile ensures every batch-created post sounds authentic.
The Opportunistic Workflow
As events happen:
- Industry news breaks → Generate Insight-Driven reaction while context is fresh
- Company achievement → Generate humble announcement with team crediting
- Conference attended → Generate learnings post
- Project completed → Generate retrospective with authentic takeaways
Generate immediately. Schedule for optimal timing.
The Compounding Value Timeline
Here's why power users invest heavily in voice profile training from day one:
| Stage | What's Happening | What You Experience | |-------|-----------------|---------------------| | Week 1-2 | Initial voice profile learning from samples | Better than generic AI, some editing required | | Month 1 | Behavioral learning from 10-15 strategic edits | Noticeably more accurate, editing time decreasing | | Month 3 | Deep voice profile with refined quirks | First drafts feel genuinely like you | | Month 6 | Complete linguistic fingerprint established | Near-instant creation, minimal editing | | Month 12 | Mature, highly precise voice identity | Indispensable, irreplaceable writing companion | | Future features | Blog, newsletter, email launch → same profile | Every new capability works immediately with your voice |
The time you invest training your voice profile today compounds. Every sample uploaded, every edit made, every preference set—all of it makes your voice profile more sophisticated, more accurate, more valuable.
Not just for today's LinkedIn posts. For every piece of professional content you'll create across every Kretell feature.
Your voice profile is becoming your digital writing identity—an asset that grows more valuable the more you invest in it.
Mistakes to Avoid
Mistake #1: Not Uploading Enough Initial Samples
Uploading one LinkedIn post gives Kretell minimal data. The AI extrapolates, but accuracy suffers.
Solution: Upload 3-5 diverse samples minimum.
Mistake #2: Accepting First Drafts Without Editing
Even with great voice profiles, editing refines quality. First drafts are 80-90% there. Editing gets you to 95-100%.
Solution: Always edit the first 10-15 posts strategically. This trains the AI and dramatically improves future generations.
Mistake #3: Ignoring Similarity Warnings
Repetitive content damages professional credibility.
Solution: If similarity is high, pick a different topic or wait longer between similar posts.
Mistake #4: Not Reviewing All Three Variations
Picking the first variation every time means missing better options for specific contexts.
Solution: Scan all three. It takes 90 seconds.
Mistake #5: Treating Voice Profile as "Done" After Onboarding
Your voice profile is never done. It evolves as you edit, answer questions, and provide feedback.
Solution: Revisit Self-Serve Questions monthly. Your preferences evolve as your content strategy matures.
Mistake #6: Forgetting This Is a Long-Term Asset
Thinking: "I just need a LinkedIn post for today." Missing: "I'm building a voice identity that powers all future features and saves me hundreds of hours long-term."
Solution: Invest time upfront. The compounding returns are substantial.
The Bottom Line
Most people use Kretell as "better ChatGPT for LinkedIn."
Power users understand: Kretell is a voice profiling system that learns your authentic patterns and becomes more valuable the more you invest in it.
The difference:
Casual users upload 2 samples, generate content, accept first drafts, never revisit settings.
Power users upload 5+ diverse samples, edit strategically for 2 weeks, complete Self-Serve Questions progressively, treat voice profile as an evolving asset.
Casual user outcome: Decent content, some editing required, marginal time savings.
Power user outcome: Exceptional authentic content, minimal editing, significant time savings, long-term compounding value.
Your voice profile isn't just for today's LinkedIn post. It's a digital identity asset that will power everything Kretell builds—content generation across every format, every platform, every professional communication need.
The time you invest training it today compounds. The quality improves. The editing decreases. The value increases.
And when Kretell launches blog generation, research reports, email drafting, or any future capability—your voice profile is ready immediately, trained precisely, authentically you.
That's the power user advantage.
Frequently Asked Questions
