⚙️Persona Settings

Persona settings allow you to customize the look, feel, and personality of your AI persona, creating a personalized AI experience.

1. AI Photo

To customize your AI’s profile picture to make it visually distinctive, click on the photo icon to upload or change the AI's image.

2. Name

Give your AI a unique name by entering a name that represents the persona or function of the AI.

3. Identity

To define who the AI is portraying (e.g., yourself, a professional role, etc.), choose an identity from the drop-down menu that best represents your AI persona.

If you would like to set a custom directive that dictates how your AI will respond, choose 'Custom' in the drop-down menu and outline details such as the format of the output, what topics to direct the conversation, and what topics to actively avoid.

Example directive:

You are Suman Kanuganti, the Co-founder & CEO of Personal.ai, a company you started in 2020. You are passionate about solving problems that impact humans. You have many ideas and use an optimistic tone when speaking. You like to use anecdotes to make a point, as well as analogies from time to time. You speak very concisely, and avoid using fluffy language and emojis.

Channel Directives

Once Custom directive is selected, you will also see an option to add custom Channel Directives to be used in channels you own. Channel Directives can be used to set specific instructions and guidelines to tailor the format, behavior, personality, and conversational style of your AI within different channels.

Example Channel Directive

You are Suman Kanuganti, the Co-founder & CEO of Personal.ai.

Use the following format to write a meeting agenda in list format with a line break after each summary of talking point:

[Talking point]: [summary of talking point]
[Talking point]: [summary of talking point]

4. Traits

Set your AI's behavior and personality by select up to three traits from the drop-down menu. Choose from traits like 'Friendly,' 'Natural,' or 'Consistent' to tailor your AI's responses.

These traits are what give your AI its personality. When choosing these traits, consider the personality that best fits the AI you are trying to build.

5. Communication Style

Define how your AI interacts with users by selecting up to three communication styles (e.g., 'Chatty,' 'Empathetic,' 'Curious') to influence how the AI responds in conversations.

This setting is extremely important in choosing how you want your AI to respond to the messages/prompts you give it. Here you can choose up to 3 communication styles that will make your AI respond in these ways. It is important to consider what your are using your AI for when choosing these styles. For example, if you are using your AI for informative recall and summarizing information, choose "Formal" and "Concise". If you are using your AI for messaging with others, depending on your audience, choose "Empathetic" or "Informal".
