Personas

A persona is a saved system prompt — a set of instructions that shapes the AI's role, tone, and behavior. Create a persona once and apply it to any Chat Node conversation.

Creating a persona

From settings:

1. Open Settings → Persona Prompts

2. Click Create Persona

3. Fill in the fields:

   • Name — how the persona appears in pickers
   • Color — an identifying color for its chip
   • Prompt — the instructions the AI should follow

4. Click Create

Or create one inline without leaving your chat:

1. Open the + tools dropdown in the chat input

2. Go to Personalities

3. Click Add New and fill in the same fields

Applying a persona to a conversation

There are two ways to select a persona:

1. Open the + tools dropdown, go to Personalities, and check the persona you want

2. Or click the persona chip dropdown in the chat footer and pick from the list — type to search personas by name

The selected persona appears as a colored chip in the chat footer, and the AI follows its prompt for that conversation.

Re-selecting the active persona clears it — click it again to remove the persona from the conversation.

Use cases

• Consistent voice for writing: a "Brand copywriter" persona that always writes in your product's tone, applied to every drafting chat.
• Role-based review: a "Staff engineer" persona that critiques code for edge cases, and a "Security reviewer" persona for a second pass — switch chips between messages.
• Teaching mode: a "Patient tutor" persona that explains step by step and asks you questions back, for learning canvases.
• Format enforcement: a persona that instructs the AI to always answer as a structured brief (summary, risks, next steps) for meeting-notes workflows.
