Personas
Your Persona defines who your AI Agent is, its role, tone, and communication style.
It’s what makes your Agent sound human, credible, and aligned with your brand personality.
You can manually create a Persona or auto-generate one instantly when you build your Agent using the Quick Agent Setup. It automatically suggests tone, expertise, and language style based on your business type and industry.
What Is a Persona?
A Persona is your Agent’s character profile — it gives personality and purpose to your conversations.
Think of it as your digital team member’s bio: it defines what they know, how they speak, and what they’re here to achieve.
In sales terms, your Persona turns your Agent from “just another chatbot” into a trusted advisor who connects with your audience authentically.
Why It Matters
Your Persona shapes every interaction — tone, phrasing, and even emotional delivery.
It helps your Agent sound:
- Consistent — aligned with your brand voice across every channel
- Authentic — like a real person your customers can trust
- Purpose-driven — focused on achieving your specific business goals
A well-crafted Persona bridges the gap between AI automation and human connection.
What’s Inside a Persona
Each Persona includes a few key traits that shape how your Agent communicates and persuades:
Trait | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
Name & Role | Defines the Agent’s identity and function. | “Sophie — your AI Sales Assistant” |
Tone of Voice | How the Agent speaks (formal, friendly, energetic, etc.). | “Warm, confident, and approachable.” |
Personality Keywords | Core character traits that define the Agent’s vibe. | “Empathetic, proactive, data-driven.” |
Mission Statement | The Agent’s goal in every conversation. | “Help small business owners grow with AI automation.” |
Expertise | The Agent’s area of knowledge or specialization. | “Conversational AI, sales automation, and customer engagement.” |
Audience Focus | The type of users the Agent interacts with. | “Agency owners, coaches, and small business founders.” |
Together, these elements make your AI sound intentional, not robotic.
Where It Lives
You’ll find Personas inside the General section of your Agent.
Each Agent has its own Persona that can be:
- Auto-generated using the Quick Agent setup, or
- Customized manually to match your brand, tone, and use case.
