# Learned Format

> Let the AI learn from your previous notes and adapt to your preferred writing style for each note section.

Learned Format allows the AI to study examples of your preferred writing style and apply that style to future notes. Instead of writing explicit formatting rules, you provide sample text and the AI adapts its output to match.

Learned Format is configured on a **per-template, per-section** basis within *[Custom Formatting](/apple/ambient_ai_scribe/custom-formatting)* in AI Studio.

## How It Works

Each section of a note template includes a **Learned Format** area. When you add examples of how you want that section written, the AI uses those examples to shape how it generates content for that section in future notes.

The AI uses the **most recent examples** to determine your preferred style — so as your preferences evolve, simply add new examples and remove older ones.

## Adding an Example

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open AI Studio">
    Navigate to **Settings** > **AI Studio** > **Custom Formatting**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select a template and section">
    Choose the note template, then scroll to the section you want to customize.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add an example">
    Scroll to the **Learned format** area within the section and tap **+ Add an example**. Paste or type a sample of how you want the section written.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save">
    Tap **Save Rules** at the bottom of the template screen.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Managing Examples

You can add up to **5 examples** per section. To review or remove existing examples, tap **Manage** in the Learned Format area.

<Note>
  Learned Format works best when your examples are consistent with each other. Conflicting examples may produce inconsistent results.

## When to Use Learned Format vs. Custom Rules

| Approach                    | Best For                                                                                                           |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Learned Format**          | Matching a specific writing voice, sentence structure, or documentation pattern that is hard to describe as a rule |
| **Custom Formatting Rules** | Explicit instructions like "use bullet points" or "always include the general exam"                                |

You can use both on the same section — custom rules provide explicit instructions while Learned Format shapes the overall style.
