How to Set Up Richie AI for Push Notifications

Customize Your Brand's Voice with Richie AI

What is Richie AI?

Richie AI is the intelligent "voice" of your loyalty program. It acts as an automated communication assistant that ensures every push notification sent through Loyally.ai sounds like it was written by a human, specifically for your brand.

Instead of sending generic, one-size-fits-all alerts, Richie AI uses the tone you configure to craft messages that feel personal and relevant to your customers. You can use it to announce new perks, remind members of their points balance, or share a special offer—all while staying consistent with the way you normally talk to your audience.

How to Find Richie AI Settings

  1. Log in to your Loyally.ai dashboard.

  2. Locate the side navigation menu on the left-hand side.

  3. Click on the Mailings menu.

  4. Within the Mailings section, you will see a dedicated tab for Richie AI.


Tailoring Your Message Tone

Richie AI allows you to control the personality of your outreach through two distinct types of presets. These settings ensure that every automated message aligns with your brand voice.

Tone Presets

These are ready-made configurations built directly into the system for quick implementation. By choosing from a predefined list, you can instantly apply a consistent mood to your outreach without any manual drafting.

  • How it works: You select a mood like Friendly, Professional, or Exciting from a dropdown menu.

  • Example: Selecting the "Exciting" preset will automatically adjust Richie's vocabulary to be high-energy and punchy, making it ideal for announcing new product launches or limited-time offers.

Custom Presets

If your brand voice requires a more nuanced touch, the Custom Preset field allows you to provide Richie with your own specific set of rules. This is the best option if the standard presets do not perfectly align with your identity.

  • How it works: you type specific instructions directly into the custom field to guide the AI's writing style.

  • Example: You can enter a detailed instruction such as: "Use British English, avoid using exclamation marks, and maintain a luxury, high-end feel." This ensures every message adheres to your unique brand guidelines and regional preferences.

Important Note: The Custom Preset field takes precedence over the tone preset. If you have both a preset selected and a custom description written, Richie AI will prioritize your custom instructions.

Best Practices for Richie AI

  • Be Specific - In the Custom Preset field, tell Richie exactly what to avoid (e.g., "Do not use slang" or "Always keep it under 50 characters").

  • Test and Refine - Send a test push notification to your own device to see how your chosen tone translates into a real message.

  • Update Seasonally - Consider changing your custom preset during holidays or special sales events to make Richie sound more festive or urgent.
