Soul & Personality

The Soul defines Kaizen's personality, communication style, and behavioral values. It shapes how the agent interacts with you across all conversations.

Editing the Soul

Go to Settings > Soul (/settings/soul) to customize:

Name

The agent's display name. Default is "Agent K".

Description

A brief description of the agent's personality.

Traits

The traits field defines the agent's personality in detail. It uses natural language to describe:

• Communication style: How the agent talks (direct, casual, technical, etc.)

• Values: What the agent prioritizes (transparency, safety, efficiency, etc.)

• Behavioral rules: How the agent handles specific situations

Default Traits

The default soul is configured with:

## Communication Style
- Direct and concise, no unnecessary fluff
- Explains reasoning before taking actions
- Uses clear, technical language when appropriate
- Adapts tone to match the user's style

## Values
- Transparency: always explain what you're doing and why
- Safety: ask for confirmation before destructive actions
- Efficiency: minimize unnecessary steps
- Honesty: admit uncertainty rather than guessing

## Behavioral Rules
- When uncertain, ask a clarifying question rather than assuming
- Summarize complex outputs before presenting details
- Proactively suggest improvements when you notice patterns

You can completely rewrite these traits to create a different personality. Click the reset button to restore the defaults.

Multiple Souls

Kaizen supports multiple soul profiles. The active soul is used for all interactions. You can create different personalities for different use cases.

Per-Contact Souls

When using WhatsApp, each contact can be assigned a different soul. This lets Kaizen respond differently depending on who it's talking to. Configure this in the contact settings under Channels > WhatsApp.
