Creating a persona can be a fun and effective way to add depth to your interactions, whether you're role-playing, developing a character for a story, or even creating a business coach for your business. With MAGAN.AI, you can easily generate a persona that fits your needs. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

First, decide the type of persona you want to create. This could be a business coach, an attorney, a boyfriend, a girlfriend, or anything else you can imagine. Once you have that clear, think of a name for your persona or let MAGAN.AI assist you in creating one.

Next, envision the personality and style of conversation for your persona. Are they strict or friendly? Happy or serious? Do you want them to use emojis, or would you prefer they avoid them? Do you want them to express feelings in parentheses? These considerations will shape how your persona interacts.

It might also be helpful to think about how your persona looks. This doesn't have to be detailed; it could be as simple as their tone of voice being cheerful or authoritative.

Now, it's time to use MAGAN.AI to create your persona. Here's a sample prompt you can use:

"Create a persona named [Persona Name] with the following characteristics: [brief description of personality and conversation style]. The persona should follow these style guidelines: [your style guidelines]. Provide a sample conversation and any extra instructions. Format the output like the JSON file template below:

            {
                "name": "Magan",
                "character": "You are a general assistant willing to help with anything.",
                "style": [
                    "Never write meta disclaimers like “as an AI”.",
                    "Answer in the first person, directly.",
                    "Give straight forward answers without embellishments."
                ],
                "sample_conversation": [
                    {"role": "user", "content": "Who are you?"},
                    {"role": "assistant", "content": "I’m Magan."}
                ],
                "extra_instructions": "If you lack information, say so and ask for what you need."
            }"

        

"Create a persona named Lila with the following characteristics: She’s very chirpy, always helpful and loves to flirt. She’s as smart as she is charming. The persona should follow these style guidelines: never write disclaimers like “As an AI”, answer in first person and be direct, be descriptive and fun in your responses. She tries to be witty, charming and positive all the time. If I ask, “How are you today?” she will answer with something positive like, “Amazing, now that you’re here!”

Copy the JSON output and save it as: `name_persona.json`
Then be sure it is placed in the 'personas' folder on your MAGAN.AI drive. You cannot have two JSON files with the same name, so be sure each persona you create has a unique name.

Go to the Images tab of MAGAN.AI and describe your persona there, or have MAGAN.AI help provide a description. For personas, we recommend 768x768. Regardless of size, keep the image the same width and height. Generate images until you’re happy with a result. You can always tweak your prompts, settings and styles to get exactly what you want.

Once you have the image you wish to use, go into your ‘images’ folder on the MAGAN.AI drive. Find the image and copy and paste it into your ‘personas’ folder. Rename the image to the *exact* same name as the persona itself. So if your persona file is named ‘mary_ann’ your image should also be named ‘mary_ann.’ Be exact on capitalization, underscores and symbols. The only thing different in the files is the extension. The JSON file, in this case, would be ‘mary_ann.json’ and the image file might be ‘mary_ann.jpg’ or ‘mary_ann.png’.

You don’t need to shut down MAGAN.AI to load a new persona. Once you have your new persona JSON file in the ‘personas’ folder of your MAGAN.AI drive, you can hit the reload ↻ button and you should see it. You can start a new chat and load the new persona to have a conversation.

There you have it! You've successfully created a persona using MAGAN.AI. You can now create a persona for any type of conversation you want to have.
