Display Settings

Display Name

How you want to be addressed throughout the app. This name appears in greetings and throughout your olllo experience.

Theme Preference

Choose your preferred visual theme:

• Light: Always use light mode
• Dark: Always use dark mode
• System: Follow your device’s theme setting (default)

AI Preferences

AI Tone

Choose how the AI communicates with you:

• Encouraging: Warm, supportive, emphasizes progress and positives
• Direct: Concise, matter-of-fact, focuses on facts and actions
• Coaching: Probing questions that help you discover insights yourself

Your tone preference affects how the AI interacts with you during goal creation, accomplishment refinement, weekly reflections, and all other AI conversations.

Preferred Writing Style

Control how the AI formats its written output:

• Concise Bullets: Short, punchy bullet points. Best for quick scanning and action-oriented content.
• Detailed Narratives: Full sentences and paragraphs. Best for thorough explanations and storytelling.
• Metrics-Focused: Emphasizes numbers, data, and measurable outcomes. Best for performance reviews and data-driven roles.

This affects how the AI writes accomplishment summaries, reflection insights, and other generated content.

Reflection Theme Preferences

Customize how much time your weekly reflection spends on each theme. There are five reflection themes, and you can set each to one of four levels:

The five themes:

• Engagement: How connected and motivated you feel at work
• Well-being: Your overall wellness, stress levels, and work-life balance
• Career: Progress toward career goals and professional development
• Performance: Your output, impact, and effectiveness
• Accomplishments: Deep dive into specific wins and achievements

At least one theme must not be set to “Skip”. Prioritized themes appear first in the reflection conversation.

These preferences are also editable from your Knowledge page.
