Create a Persona in Zo

Personas let you change how Zo responds. Want a strict code reviewer? A casual brainstorm partner? A social media strategist? Just create a persona.

Ask Zo to make one

The fastest way — just tell Zo what you want:

Prompt

Create a persona called "Content Writer" that writes in a casual, punchy tone for social media

Zo creates the persona and adds it to your collection instantly.

Or create one manually

Step 1: Open Settings

Click the Settings icon in the left sidebar.

Step 2: Go to AI > Personas

Navigate to Settings > AI > Personas to see all your personas.

Step 3: Create a new persona

Click Create Persona. Give it a name, an optional avatar, and write a prompt that describes how Zo should behave.

Step 4: Write your prompt

This is where you define the persona's personality, tone, and expertise. For example:

Prompt

You are a social media strategist. You write punchy, scroll-stopping copy. You always suggest hashtags and hooks.

Step 5: Save and activate

Save your persona, then click on it to make it active. Zo will now respond using that persona across chat, SMS, email, and Telegram.

Switch between personas

Swap personas anytime — just ask:

Prompt
Switch to my Content Writer persona

Or go to Settings > AI > Personas and click the one you want to activate.

Edit anytime

Your personas aren't locked in. Refine them as you go:

Prompt

Update my Content Writer persona to always include hashtag suggestions

Or go back to Settings > AI > Personas, click your persona, and edit the prompt directly.

Ideas to get started

You can create a persona for anything:

  • Writing assistant — matches your brand voice
  • Study tutor — explains things simply
  • Fitness coach — gives workout and nutrition advice
  • Startup advisor — thinks in strategy and metrics
  • Meme lord — keeps it unhinged

Just tell Zo the vibe, and it builds the persona for you.
