Join us as we explore how Personal AI can transform your daily interactions, offering a glimpse into a world where technology truly understands and anticipates your needs.

In this week’s newsletter, we are exploring the Personal AI Personas. Personal AI’s multi-persona model is a game-changer in how we approach AI integration. Personas are AI representations of specific roles, individuals, or organizations, trained exclusively on proprietary data. Are you curious about how to create your own Persona?

The Value Of Personal AI Personas

AI Personas multiply your team by transforming how work gets done. This approach allows for:

  1. Tailored Experiences: Each persona is customized to meet the unique needs of different user roles or contexts.
  2. Scalable Expertise: Personas can encapsulate specialized knowledge, allowing organizations to scale their expertise efficiently.
  3. Consistent Communication: Personas ensure a unified voice and style in organizational communications.
  4. Institutional Knowledge Retention: Vital information is captured and preserved within personas, maintaining continuity as teams evolve.
  5. Enhanced Collaboration: Our AI-native messaging platform integrates human expertise with AI capabilities, breaking down traditional silos.

How to Create Your Own Persona

Let’s walk through how to create a Persona from start to finish. Press “Create New” to begin the process.

This visual presents a professional team roster layout with four quadrants. Three showcase portraits and job titles, while the fourth offers a “Create New” option.

To create a new custom Persona with full flexibility:

  1. Navigate to the “Identity” section.
  2. Select the “Custom” option.
  3. Write your own directive specifying how you want the AI to behave. This allows you to craft a unique Persona tailored to your needs

This custom approach gives you complete control over the AI’s personality, knowledge base, and interaction style. You can define things like:

  • The AI’s background and expertise (e.g., “You are a financial analyst specializing in corporate development”)
  • Its communication style and tone (e.g., “Speak concisely and use industry jargon”)
  • Any specialized knowledge or skills
  • Areas of focus or topics to avoid
  • Particular behaviors, limitations, ethical guidelines, or decision-making frameworks

Take time to craft a clear, detailed directive for best results. You can always refine it later as you interact with your custom Persona. For the VP of Strategy, Marcus, the custom directive is simple and to the point:

How to Use Your AI Persona

Once your Persona is done, you are now ready to deploy, integrate, and interact with it in different ways. Start by creating a channel and place your Persona in it. Channels allow you to create dedicated spaces for projects, departments, or client groups, where your AI assists with coordinated efforts and shared knowledge:

  • Set up channels for teams or departments to centralize communication and project updates.
  • Allow your AI to contribute by sharing insights and ensuring everyone stays informed.
  • Leverage your company’s combined expertise, enabling teams to work faster and more efficiently.

How to Use the Same Persona for Different Tasks

Channel directives are powerful tools for customizing AI interactions within specific channels. They allow you to define and switch between different operational modes or tasks for an AI persona without changing the persona itself. These can be created and modified in your Persona settings.

Shown is a “Channel Directives” section with Drafting and Analyzing categories. It provides instructions for crafting strategic plans and evaluating business scenarios, featuring a clean design with minimalist icons.

For instance, you might have Marcus, your VP of Strategy AI, present in a channel. Here, channel directives would allow you to:

  • Seamlessly transition Marcus from drafting strategic plans to analyzing market data.
  • Maintain context and continuity with a consistent AI personality while adapting its focus and output to suit various needs within the same channel.
  • Repurpose a Persona’s capabilities for different tasks without losing the benefits of its specialized knowledge.

Once in a channel, locate the AI controls icon in the top right corner. Click on it to reveal a “Channel Directive” dropdown menu, where you can easily select and switch between different channel directives, instantly adapting your Persona’s focus to your current needs.
