A voice that could only be yours

Make your AI sound unmistakably human.

A gentle, guided conversation maps how you actually write — across thirteen living dimensions — into one voice file you can drop into any AI. No two are alike.

To sound like you
A voice made visible — intertwined strands of mint, sage and cream spiralling into a single point, then trailing off as a soundwave
The premise

Everyone's AI sounds the same. Yours shouldn't.

The big platforms hand you a few sliders and call it a "brand voice" — the same hundred presets recycled across millions of people. We don't give you a preset. We listen for the small choices that make your writing yours, and hand them back as a voice no one else can wear.

Thirteen living dimensions

One voice, mapped thirteen layers deep.

Most tools stop at tone. Timbrel listens for sentence rhythm, your punctuation fingerprint, the instinct to push back — then runs it through a filter that strips out the tells that make writing sound like AI.

Grounded, not guessed

Built on real research, not vibes.

We commissioned a deep-research review and tied every question to it — stylometry, Biber's analysis of how writing varies, the psycholinguistics of personality, and how language models actually choose words.

Stylometry

The throwaway words — the, of, upon — that give a writer away. Your fingerprint.

Biber's dials

Style as continuous coordinates — involved or informational, narrative or analytic.

Anti-AI filter

The tells — delve, the rule of three, tidy bows — banned by name in every file.

The voice file

One portable Markdown file, structured so a model actually obeys it — and never drifts.

See it work

One brief. Three voices.

The same awkward assignment, run through three real voiceprints. Same AI, same prompt — the only thing that changed was the voice file.

Here’s the part where I’m supposed to apologize.

I’m not going to. Look — seven dollars buys back the time I spend reading the thing before I’m angry about it in public.

How it works

Four steps. One voice. Infinite use.

Name it

Tell us who the voice is for — you, or a brand you're building.

Talk it through

A guided conversation — about 60 quick, human choices, not abstract sliders.

Watch it form

Your voice file builds in real time as you answer — see it become you.

Take it anywhere

Download one clean file and drop it into any AI that takes a system prompt.

What makes it different

Not another tone slider.

A deep, warm engine that listens for who you actually are as a writer — then hands it back to you.

Thirteen living dimensions

Beyond tone — sentence rhythm, punctuation fingerprint, the instinct to push back, and a filter that strips out the AI tells.

"Which sounds more like you?"

No abstract sliders — and nothing to write. You pick between writing samples we show you, the way a friend learns your voice.

A one-of-a-kind voiceprint

Your profile is a unique mark, like a fingerprint. Statistically, no one else will ever share it.

Drops into any AI

One clean markdown file for ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor — anything that takes a system prompt.

One voice, many rooms

Adapted variants for email, blog, social — the same you, dressed for the context.

Yours to keep

Pay once and own your voice forever. No subscription, no gates, no rented identity.

What you walk away with

A voice file, not a vibe.

Everything Timbrel learns becomes one portable, human-readable document — and a fingerprint that's yours alone.

# Voice Profile
fingerprint: 7f3a·9c2e·d011

## Personality core
Warm, plainspoken, a little wry. Leads with
a clear idea, then earns it.

## Sentence rhythm
Short. Then a longer, breathing line that
lets the thought settle.

## Humor
Dry, sparing, never at the reader's expense.

## Don't
- no corporate hedging
- no exclamation points
- never "delve" or "tapestry"

Questions & hesitations

The honest answers.

Everything people ask before they build — including the one you're probably thinking.

Why can't I just build a voiceprint myself?

You can — and if you love to tinker, maybe you should. But the part that takes real time isn't writing a prompt. It's building the research-grounded framework: working out which stylometric and psycholinguistic signals actually matter, the right questions to surface them without asking you to describe yourself in adjectives, and the anti-AI filter that names the tells and kills them. That's a few hours of reading and drafting, plus the tokens to get there.

So do the math honestly:

$29 ÷ (hours to build a fully-researched voiceprint − your token cost) = your effective hourly rate

If your time is worth more than that number, let us hand you the finished framework. And if the appeal is making it fully custom — remember the file you get is plain, editable Markdown. Take it and tweak it to your heart's content. We did the research scaffolding; you keep total control.

What exactly do I walk away with?

One portable voice file — plain Markdown (.md) and text — plus a unique voiceprint ID. Inside: your style across thirteen dimensions, written as plain instructions a model can follow, your personal anti-AI filter, and your protected signature phrases. You can read every line of it. Here's exactly how it's structured →

Do I have to share my writing?

No — and that surprises people. You never paste, upload, or type your own prose. Timbrel learns your voice from quick guided choices — mostly "which of these passages sounds more like you?" — plus a couple of optional words you love or want banned. Nothing to write, nothing to hand over.

Which AI tools does it work with?

Any that take a system prompt or custom instructions — ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Cursor, and most of the rest. It's not a plugin or an integration; it's a file you bring with you, so it isn't locked to one platform.

How do I actually use it day to day?

Paste it once into the system prompt, custom-instructions, or "project" slot of whatever model you use. From then on it rides along on everything you write there — no copying it back in each time.

Will it actually sound like me, or just less generic?

Like you. The difference is that it's measured, not described. It captures your sentence-length swing (burstiness), your involved-or-informational lean, your punctuation habits, and the exact phrases you genuinely overuse — then bans the machine's defaults so they don't paper over yours. See three real voiceprints on the same brief →

Can I edit or customize it afterwards?

Completely. It's plain Markdown with nothing locked. Rewrite a line, add a rule, swap a protected phrase — it's yours to hack. Most people who live in AI tools want to tinker, and this is built to be tinkered with.

Do you store my writing or train models on it?

There's nothing to collect — you never hand us any writing. We store only your answers (the choices you made) and, if you give it, your email — used purely to generate and send your file. We don't train on anything and we don't sell it. No accounts, so there's no profile of you sitting around to leak.

Do I need an account?

No. No sign-up, no password, no dashboard. You build your voice and leave with the file.

What's the difference between Free, $29 and $59?

Free gives you the full thirteen-dimension conversation, your complete style profile, and a generic baseline anti-AI filter — it describes your voice, and it genuinely works. Full ($29) makes the AI obey it: your personalized anti-AI filter (your exact tells and pet peeves), the calibration passages you picked, and the hard rules bracketed top and bottom that keep it from drifting. Pro ($59) adds five ready-to-use context variants — the same voice tuned for email, blog, social, long-form and technical writing. One-time, never a subscription. Compare the tiers →

How is this different from telling the AI to "write like me"?

A one-line "sound like me" gives the model nothing to measure, so it falls back on the same averaged defaults — and quietly forgets the instruction a few turns in. A voiceprint hands it actual coordinates and re-anchors them so they hold. Why "write like me" never quite works →
