This feature aims to make your AI companion to sound more like the persona you have created.

What can you achieve with personas?

Personas help you define the tone of voice of your AI. You can set the tone and instruct how you want your AI to answer to your queries. You can create a virtual twin of yours, or a even a poet that writes beautifully crafted poems!

Whom is this feature for?

Individuals - Ask yourself: are you talking to your friends like you talk to your boss? In most cases the answer is no - ideally your communication adapts to whoever is the receiver of your message. Maybe you are a book author by night and an enterprise sales director by day? Consider how frameworks such as the four colours of communication help you to place your message in the mind of the receiver. Customizing your AI according to those frameworks will help you with more consistency with lower mental load on whether your messaging fits.

Brands - Each successful communicating organization builds a communication framework at one point of time. Oftentimes, those can be put into a brand script and corporate communication framework consisting of the following:

  1. Vision & Values: What vision and values are your following?
  2. Audiences: Who is your intended audience? Are they internal or external? What language do they speak?
  3. Tones and Styles: What tone and style should be used when communicating with this audience? Are you communicating friendly or formal?
  4. Branding Guidelines: Are there any specific branding guidelines that need to be followed when creating marketing material for this organization? Are you going above and beyond in communication or stay right at the point?
  5. Channels: Which platform are you communicating? Are you writing formal emails or enthusiastic tweets?

For organizations, the benefits of customizing their AIs are increased consistency, less mental load on the individual employee whether the communication fits to culture on an organizational scale.

Brand Personas

Brand Personas are almost the same as Individual Personas but with small nuances. While individual personas are more suitable for personal use for a lot of situations ranging from creative writing to entertainment, brand personas were designed for brands / companies to create their own digital representatives to convey their brand story, visions & values in their means of communication.
