Format as detailed, realistic personas with specific details and quotes from research.How to use
- 1Organize your research data: Collect interview transcripts, survey responses, analytics insights, or user observation notes

- 4If you have existing personas: Paste your current personas. Say "Update these personas with new research: [paste personas] and [new research data]"
- 5Paste the modified prompt into your preferred AI tool, like ChatGPT or Claude (preferably with longer context if you have large datasets)

Pro Tips
- • Include real user quotes: Paste interview quotes verbatim so personas feel authentic and grounded in research
- • Specify persona count: Mention "Create 2 primary personas" or "Create 3 personas (primary, secondary, edge case)"
- • For quantitative data: Include survey statistics (e.g., "80% of users said...") for data-driven personas
- • Request persona comparisons: Ask "Show differences between these personas" to identify unique needs
- • Save personas as templates: Reuse structure for future research by asking "Use the same format but for [new research]"
- • For behavior-first personas (JTBD, mental model, needs vs wants, no invented demographics), use Behavioral Persona From Research in Research.
