You can create a new persona from scratch or improve the existing one with the AI functionality inside the Personas tool.

Note: To use the functionality, you must be on a Pro or Enterprise plan.

How to generate a new persona with the AI Persona maker

The functionality generates content for all text-based sections, which include but are not limited to:

  • Background;

  • Motivations;

  • Frustrations;

  • Quote;

  • Context;

  • Challenges.

If none of UXPressia’s textual sections matches your needs, add a new text section to your empty persona and rename it:

When generating the content, AI uses section titles. So be sure to give your sections descriptive titles: e.g., channels, skills, etc.

Once you have the necessary sections in place, open the AI Persona maker and proceed to the ‘Suggest a new persona’ tab:

In this tab, you need to add all the information you have gathered about the persona or describe the case if you don’t have any data yet. Be sure to be as specific as possible to get a good result, especially if you have custom sections.

If you want AI to generate an image of your persona, describe the required image in the dedicated section:

  • Select the sections you want to update with the help of AI. Note: empty sections are not displayed here. AI needs some initial text to improve it.

  • Specify the details you want AI to add. For that purpose, you can choose one of the options in the ‘What you like to improve?’ section, write a custom request, or do both:
