DO YOU EVER reuse YOUR USER PERSONAS?

I've noticed the same thing happen to user personas on almost every project: a lot of attention at the start, then they quietly disappear until someone digs them back up, if anyone does at all.

Hence, I never really liked them.

$ Entry 01 — earning their keep

So I built something to make personas earn their keep.

Create personas and organize them into groups and subgroups. Populate the information and edit or update it easily from the dashboard. No manual design needed: personas have a unified look. Attach meeting notes directly to a persona to further build out its profile.

$ Entry 02 — chatting with personas

Have a new idea or hypothesis to test? Chat with your personas and get some initial “thoughts”.

This feature puts personas to work, using the information their profiles already carry. The more detailed the persona, the better the output: even a person’s decision-making patterns and digital literacy can shape the direction a project takes. Important to remember: it’s a starting point, not the only validation tool.

$ Entry 03 — bigger projects

Do you have any more complex project that you are consistently working on?

Create a project, upload the designs, files, and whatever else is relevant, then connect the personas to the co-pilot to validate decisions against them.
