Open Personas when you want a chat with a setup you chose, not whoever Auto picks. Click a card and you are in that thread. Built-in Personas and Personas you create share the same sidebar places for Scheduled, Artifacts, Docs, and Skills.

Talk to one you have

Click a card. The thread uses that Persona’s name, prompt, and tools.

Make one that fits

Walk through New persona. A name is enough to start. You can fill in the rest later.

Schedule work for it

Open Scheduled on a Persona and book a prompt to run later.

Change one you made

Open its settings to edit it, or delete it if you are done with it.

​
Chat with a Persona

1

Open Personas

Click Personas in the left sidebar.
2

Open a card

Click the Persona you want. A chat opens with that Persona.
3

Send a prompt

Type what you want and send it. Attach a file with the paperclip the same way you do in Chat. Copy, regenerate, and open a file from the reply the same way too. When the reply lists sources, click a citation to open that document’s preview. A source held only on someone else’s device shows Preview unavailable.
The sidebar stays open while you chat with that Persona. It has + New chat, then Scheduled, Artifacts, and Docs. Skills appear in two groups: [Persona name] skills for skills already on that Persona, and Other skills for the rest. Click a skill to use it on that chat. To attach an Other skill to the Persona, open its options and click + Add to [Persona name]. To create a new skill, click Personas, then Skills, then New skill, then + Add skill. See Skills. You can also pick a Persona from the Persona icon in Chat, type @ there and choose one, or leave that icon on Auto.

​
Array

Array is a built-in Persona for multi-step research and planning. It appears when the device tier is Tier 3 or Tier 4 (32 GB of memory and above). Check the tier under Settings → System. On a smaller tier, Array does not show on the Personas list.
1

Open Array

Click Personas in the left sidebar, then click the Array card. A chat opens with Array.
2

Send a request

Type what you want and send it. To include an image, click the paperclip (Attach files or images) and choose a PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP file. The same attach control is documented in Chat.
3

Watch the reply

The reply writes into the thread as it arrives.
Array can show progress under Plan Pipeline while it coordinates the steps for that answer. That progress UI is for Array, not for every Persona.
4

Keep or redo it

Copy copies the finished reply. Regenerate asks Array for another version.

​
Location for an answer

When Array needs this device’s location to answer, webAI opens Allow device location? Click Always ask to approve this time and get asked again later, or Always allow to remember the choice. Location is used when you allow it for that answer. Web search is built into Array, and that path can send search work off your device. See the Privacy Policy.
Settings is available on Array. Name, Description, Connectors, and Response length are fixed. You can still use Docs, Skills, Artifacts, and Scheduled the same way as other Personas.

​
Manage documents

Open a Persona, then click Docs in its sidebar. Click Add document to give that Persona lasting files to read. Supported extensions match Docs it should read when you create a Persona. To remove a document, open the options on its row and click Remove, then confirm Remove. The file leaves that Persona’s Docs. You can add it again later.

​
Schedule a task

Scheduled on a Persona’s sidebar lists the tasks that Persona is on. Auto does not have this place. To see every task across Personas, click Personas in the left sidebar, then click Scheduled Tasks. See Scheduled Tasks.
1

Open Scheduled

Click Personas, open a Persona, then click Scheduled.
2

Start a task

Click Schedule task. Create scheduled task opens, set to this Persona.
3

Fill it in

Fill in Name and Prompt. What this task can do shows this Persona’s tools, and lets you pick one of its skills under Skill to apply on every run. Under Schedule, set Repeats to Once, Every N minutes, Daily, or Weekly. Times are local to this device.
Keep webAI open when the task is due. It does not run while webAI is closed.
4

Create it

Click Create task. The task joins Scheduled tasks with its schedule. Click its toggle to Pause or Resume it.
5

Use the result

When it runs, webAI opens a chat named Scheduled: plus the task name. Later runs reuse that chat. Open it from Recents on that Persona’s sidebar.
A task can use only the tools and skills this Persona has. See Give the Persona tools and skills first.

​
Create a Persona

Click Create a persona. The New persona panel opens beside the list. Continue moves you forward. Back goes to the previous frame. The Persona joins the list when you click Create. Each field shows a short hint, including during onboarding, when you create a Persona, and in its settings. Response length is the control for how long replies should be.
On a smaller window, this opens full screen instead of beside the list.
Give it a Name, then fill in How do you want it to sound? and What is it for? Shuffle suggests a name and voice, until you type your own. Continue stays off until the name has text.Auto uses What is it for? to pick a Persona for a request. Describe the tasks and topics this one handles, specifically enough to tell it apart from your others. If you leave it empty, Auto does not route to this Persona. You can still pick it yourself.
Check the jobs it should start with. You can pick more than one, or none, and add skills later from Personas → Skills, or attach an Other skill on that Persona’s sidebar with + Add to [Persona name].
  • Draft and edit documents
  • Summarize
  • Research
  • Project tracking
Check a tool to let this Persona use it. A tool that needs a login shows Connect until you sign in. You can do that now, or later.
Drop files on Drop files here, or browse. Skip this if you have nothing to add. You can add or remove files later from Docs on that Persona’s sidebar. See Manage documents.Supported extensions include PDF, DOCX, Markdown, HTML, CSV, JSON, and common text formats. Folder import shows Soon and is not available yet.These documents give that Persona context. Attach files for a single chat with the paperclip in Chat.

The last frame is the System prompt. Edit it. Regenerate asks for another draft when a model is ready. Then click Create, and click the new card to start a chat.

​
Find or change a Persona

On the Personas list, use the filters and search on the title row. Spaces, Artifacts, Skills, and Contacts share the same empty states, title-row controls, and pop-up search. All, Yours, and Shared with you apply on Personas, Skills, and Artifacts.
Every Persona on this device, including ones that shipped with webAI.
Each card shows how many tools, skills, scheduled tasks, and knowledge bases that Persona has. Click the search icon to open pop-up search and type a name. Click the sort icon to order the list from A to Z. Hover a card you created and click its settings icon. Delete removes that Persona.
Auto has no settings icon. It is the picker in Chat, not a Persona you edit here.
Where a reply is generated depends on that Persona’s setup. When you use a downloaded model, replies can be generated on your machine. A network-hosted Persona, or a cloud model on your own API key, sends that work off your device. See the Privacy Policy.
