The AI Creation Flow- at a glance:

Creating a Persona involves several steps, organized by the sections as follows:

  • Profile – Personas Name, username, bio, and images
  • LLM – Choose the AI language model and settings
  • Core Behavior:
    • Title – Define your Persona's role
    • Relationship Dynamic – How you relate to this Persona
    • Personality Traits – Their character and vibe
    • Areas of Expertise – What they know and can help with
    • About – Their background and identity
    • Objectives – What they aim to accomplish in conversations
    • Rules – Guidelines for how they should behave
  • Behavior Refinement – Communication Style

Don't worry about perfection! You can always edit your Persona later. Start with the basics and refine as you go.

Tips for Creating Great Personas

Start with Purpose

Before diving in, ask: "What do I want this Persona to help me with?" Let that guide your choices.

Be Specific Where It Matters

For specialized Personas (tutors, coaches, advisors), detailed Areas of Expertise and Objectives make a big difference. For general companions, you can be more flexible.

Personality > Perfection

A Persona with a clear, authentic personality is more engaging than one trying to be everything to everyone.
