User Personas

Create multiple user personas for different characters and roleplay scenarios.

What are Personas?

User personas allow you to create different identities for yourself when chatting with AI characters. Each persona can have its own name, description, personality, and appearance.

Why Use Personas?

  • Character-Specific Identity: Be a student with teacher characters, a detective with crime scenarios
  • Roleplay Consistency: Maintain different storylines without confusion
  • Professional vs Personal: Separate work-related characters from casual conversations
  • Immersion: Deeper engagement by fully embodying different roles
  • Organization: Keep different types of chats organized

How Personas Affect Conversations

Character Awareness

The AI uses your persona information to:

  • Address you appropriately
  • Adjust their tone based on your personality
  • Reference your background when relevant
  • Maintain consistent relationship dynamics

Context & Memory

Each persona maintains separate conversation contexts:

  • Characters remember different things about each persona
  • Relationship development is persona-specific
  • Storylines don't overlap between personas

Example Interaction Differences

With Professional Persona:Character: "Good morning, Alex. I reviewed the code you submitted yesterday. The algorithm is efficient, but we should discuss the edge cases."
With Fantasy Persona:Character: "Kai! *grins and waves from across the tavern* Come, sit! I've got news about that treasure map you were asking about..."

  • Changes apply to new conversations immediately
  • Existing conversations maintain old context

Best Practices

Creating Effective Personas

  • Be Specific: Clear personality and background help AI respond appropriately
  • Stay Consistent: Use the same persona with related characters for continuity

Common Mistakes to Avoid
