Getting Started

Personalize your assistant

The highest-leverage 90 seconds in Deck. Personalization is where you tell Deck how you'd like it to work with you — your role, your voice, what counts as priority. Fill it out the way you'd brief a new assistant on day one, and every reply afterwards comes back sharper.

Open Settings → Profile and work through the personalization fields.

About you
I lead customer success at a SaaS company. My week is mostly
renewals, churn risk, and exec briefings.
 
Be direct and concise. Lead with the answer, then back it up.
Bullets over paragraphs. Tables when there are more than
three numbers.
 
I’m tracking five active accounts and prepping for QBRs in
March. Treat anything mentioning those as priority.
 
Don’t draft replies in my voice without asking.

The fields

Deck breaks personalization into a handful of structured fields. Fill in as many as feel useful — you can always come back and add more.

  • Role — what you do day to day. "I lead customer success at a SaaS company. My week is mostly renewals, churn risk, and exec briefings."
  • Voice — tone preferences for Deck's replies. "Be direct and concise. Skip pleasantries. Lead with the answer, then back it up."
  • Format preferences — bullets vs prose, tables, length. "Bullets, not paragraphs. Tables when there are more than three numbers. Cite sources when you have them."
  • Objectives — what you're focused on right now. "I'm tracking five active accounts and prepping for QBRs in March. Treat anything mentioning those as priority." This field is what anchors Vigil — it's how Vigil decides what's worth surfacing and what isn't. Keep it current and Vigil stays close to what you actually care about.
  • Shorthand & conventions — names of teammates, products, accounts, or acronyms you'd rather not spell out every time.
  • Things to skip"Don't draft replies in my voice without asking. Don't summarize something that's already short."

How it shapes responses

Deck reads your personalization alongside whatever you're working on — in chat, in email replies, in scheduled-task output, in Vigil notes. It shapes tone, format, and what counts as important, but it doesn't override the conversation in front of it.

Edit any field at any time. Changes take effect on the next response.
