    • Description: A brief summary of what the AI persona does and its purpose.
  2. Tone: Defines the personality and manner in which the AI persona communicates. This could be formal, friendly, professional, or casual, depending on your target audience and use case.
  3. Purpose: Clarifies the main objectives of the AI persona. It answers the question, “What is the AI here to achieve?” This could range from providing customer support to assisting with technical queries.
