### What is an AI Persona?

An AI Persona is a custom AI agent that learns from your writing style, knowledge base, and preferences. It powers every agent and tool in Volumn.ai — from auto-replies to outreach DMs — so all outputs sound authentically like you.

### Creating a Persona

Follow these steps to create your first persona:

Steps:

1. Log in to Volumn.ai and click '+ New Persona' in the top persona switcher bar.
2. Give your persona a name (e.g., your Twitter handle or brand name).
3. Connect your X (Twitter) account by clicking 'Connected with X' and authorising access.
4. Fill in the Identity tab: Description, Experience, and Purpose fields.
5. Switch to the Product tab to describe what you sell or promote.
6. Add any Extra Requirements that agents should always follow.
7. Click Save — your persona is now ready to power all agents.

### Switching Between Personas

You can create multiple personas for different brands or accounts. Use the persona tabs at the top of the screen to switch instantly.

Steps:

1. Click the desired persona tab in the top navigation bar.
2. All agents and tools will immediately use the selected persona's context.
3. Use the gear icon next to the tabs to reorder or delete personas.

### Tips for Better Results

To get the most out of your AI Persona:

Tip: Write your Description and Experience in the first person, as if introducing yourself to a new follower. The more specific and authentic your persona context, the more on-brand every agent output will be.
