Personas are custom AI identities, a name, a role, a personality, an optional system prompt, and model choices. The app switches between personas without reloading. Open the Personas tab to chat with a persona or manage your library. In Chat, Auto mode can pick a persona by matching your prompt to these descriptions. Keep the role and description clear so the match is useful.
Depending on how a persona is configured, inference may run on your Mac (with a downloaded model), on a network-hosted Persona, or via a cloud model you connect with your own API key. See the Privacy Policy for how each path handles your data.

​

  • Each persona card shows its icon, name, role or purpose, and personality traits.

​
Chat with a Persona

  • Open the Personas tab and click a persona card to start a conversation with that persona.

​
Creating a persona (guided wizard)

The step-by-step builder has two steps by default: You can also attach a knowledge base during creation: choose one from the Knowledge base dropdown, or click + New to create one in Knowledge Manager. A live success likelihood meter scores how complete the persona is as you fill it in. An advanced Configuration step is available but off by default.

​
Editing a persona

You can edit a persona in two places:
  1. On the Personas tab, click … on a persona card and select Edit.
  2. Open Settings → Model → Personas, then click the pencil icon next to the persona you want to change.
The edit page exposes the full set: all identity and personality fields, a custom icon, knowledge base attachment, and delete. Use the Knowledge base dropdown to attach or change a base, or click + New to create one in Knowledge Manager. Edits and deletions apply to Auto mode right away, so a persona you just changed is used on the next turn, and a persona you deleted cannot capture a turn.

​
Generate a system prompt with AI

You don’t have to write the system prompt yourself. On a persona’s details, fill in the Description and click AI Generate: the model reads your description and writes a system prompt from it. Use it to create a prompt from scratch or to improve one you’ve already started.
