Making Voice AI Sound More Human – A Simple Trick from Support

I wanted to share a small but powerful tip that can make a big difference in how your AI assistant sounds.

When we troubleshoot voice interactions, one common issue is that the AI can sound flat or robotic. The fix is often not in the software itself, but in how the prompt is written especially the punctuation.

Periods (.) and Commas (,)These act as natural pauses. They keep the assistant’s replies flowing smoothly.

Ellipses (…) and Dashes (—)These add subtle hesitations or transitions, almost like the AI is “thinking.”

By mixing both styles, you can guide the rhythm of the response and make the AI sound much more natural in conversation.

I picked up this little trick from Jorden and it’s been super helpful, so thought I’d share here. Curious to hear if others in the community have tried similar tricks.
