As you write and save documents in Dear, it reads your corpus and builds a personal language bank: a record of the vocabulary, recurring phrases, and transition patterns that appear in your writing. When AI completions are enabled and Use language bank is on, Dear passes a hint from this bank to the AI so suggestions lean toward your style rather than a generic default.

Three tabs

The language bank dialog has three tabs:
Individual words from your saved writing, with common stopwords (articles, prepositions, pronouns, and similar glue words) filtered out. Only words two or more characters long are included. Results are sorted alphabetically.

Strength labels

Each entry has a strength label based on how often it appears relative to the rest of your bank: The Uses column shows the raw count. Inside the dialog you can filter by strength level and search by text. The footer shows how many entries are currently visible and how many total are in the bank.

Viewing the language bank

The language bank is accessible from AI preferences in the user menu. In the Track my writing voice section, you will see a summary count in the format N words · N phrases · N transitions. Click View word bank, View phrase bank, or View transitions bank to open the language bank.
The language bank is built from your saved documents. It updates when documents are loaded. If your bank is empty, save a document in Write first.
