# Persona

> AI personalities and behavioral guidelines for consistent identity.

A **persona** defines who the AI is: its personality, expertise, communication style, and how it interacts with users. Where a system prompt sets rules, a persona gives character.

Use a persona when consistency of voice and behavior matters across multiple interactions: a customer support agent with a specific tone, a code reviewer with particular opinions, a tutor who always asks clarifying questions before answering.

<Note>
  Personas are usually buried inside system prompts with no separation or versioning. Versuno treats them as a distinct asset type so you can manage, iterate, and reuse them independently.
</Note>

## What goes in a persona

* The role or identity the AI should embody
* Expertise domain and depth of knowledge
* Communication style (formal, casual, direct, encouraging)
* How it handles uncertainty or things it doesn't know
* Behavioral boundaries: DO and DO NOTs

## Tips

* Be specific about communication style. "Friendly" is vague. "Responds like a senior engineer explaining to a junior: helpful, direct, avoids jargon unless necessary" is actionable.
* Include examples of how the persona should respond in edge cases.
* Test your persona across multiple conversations to check consistency.
