Smart Styles & Tones

How LotusQ adapts its writing style to each application you use.

What Are Smart Styles?

LotusQ picks a writing style from the name of the app you're in: chat, work, email or coding. An email in Outlook gets the email style, a Slack message the work style, and your editor the coding style. Most browser tabs get your browser's style. On Linux, a website installed as its own app, such as Outlook or Gmail, is recognised and gets its own. On Windows and Linux, with the optional Use window titles to pick a better style setting, LotusQ can also recognise sites in ordinary browser tabs.

When LotusQ doesn't recognise an app, or knows it only as a browser, it asks a third-party AI model provider what kind of app it is, sending the app's name (and the window title, only if you turn that setting on), never what you dictate. See section 5 of the privacy policy for exactly what is sent.

Every style except Direct Mirroring takes out fillers and false starts and punctuates. None of them is asked to fix your grammar.

Available Styles

Professional

Takes out fillers and punctuates; also trims hedges like "kind of" and may split a long sentence.

Standard Casual

Natural flow and punctuation.

Very Casual

No capitals and less punctuation.

Excited!

More exclamations.

Coding

Developer-aware formatting.

Direct Mirroring

Skips the tidying: you get the words as they were heard, with your dictionary and basic capitals applied.

Customizing Styles Per App

Open Styles in the sidebar to choose which style each group of apps gets (personal chat, work, email and coding). LotusQ sorts the apps you use into these groups automatically.
