Overview
Personas let you create different AI personality templates for various use cases. Each persona defines the tone, communication style, and key behavioral traits that shape how the AI interacts with users - whether that’s a technical analyst, customer service representative, or creative writer.
Personas define tone and personality — not role context. Use personas to shape how your model communicates (professional, technical, casual, etc.). If you need to define a system-level role or context (e.g. “You are a cybersecurity expert in a SOC environment”), configure that in a SYMI sub-agent task definition instead.
