How to create an AI persona

Here’s how you can use Coachvox AI to build an AI persona that interacts with your audience

There’s huge interest in AI right now. If you’re a content creator, coach, entrepreneur or thought-leader of some kind, the prospect of AI changing the shape of your industry may be exciting and intimidating in equal measure. You’re probably also thinking about how you should involve AI in your operations and take advantage of the opportunity.

 

The good news is that you probably have everything you need in order to get started and get AI working for you. Developing an AI persona based on your personality and the content you’ve already created to the perfect starting point.

What is an AI persona?

An AI person is an AI chat interface that interacts with people in the same way you would. It like a digital extension of you and your expertise, almost like an AI clone. You give your AI persona a name, an avatar and you train it in your conversational style and the language you use.

 

You also give your AI persona training data from content you’ve created so it has your skills and knowledge base. At Coachvox AI, we enable you to create an AI persona designed to help your audience as a coach or mentor. There are several reasons you might want one yourself.

Why should I create an AI persona?

Firstly, your AI persona acts as a hugely effective lead magnet. Rather than downloading a free ebook, your prospects can simply start a chat with your AI and have their exact questions answered. It’s new and exciting so it’s incredibly effective at collecting email addresses around the clock.

 

Secondly, your AI persona is a massive value add for your audience or existing clients or members. If you’re in demand, your AI chat is likely to be too. Once trained, you can help people through their challenges and find opportunities.

Another huge factor in developing your AI persona is that it’s really sharable content. Just having an AI version of you is cool and our creators have hit the headlines of local and national press for their AI.

 

Your AI clone can also become a revenue stream for you. Trained as an AI coach, several Coachvox creators are charging for access to their AIs as an entry-level product, off-boarding option or bolt on service.

If you’ve created lots of content, you have the perfect training material for an AI.

Creating your AI persona might not be as complicated as you think. You don’t need any technical knowledge about AI and you don’t need to code. That’s true if you’re using the right tool, anyway!

Here’s an overview of the main steps involved in creating an AI persona with Coachvox AI.

Step 1: build the aesthetic

Let’s kick things off by giving your AI coach a face and a home. An engaging avatar, cohesive brand colours, and the right font can make your AI coach visually appealing and memorable to your users.

The best part? You can embed this chat interface right onto your website, even before you train your AI self. Your digital persona can start interacting with users immediately, offering a taste of the brilliant content and personalized interaction that’s to come.

 

Take this step seriously; it’s the equivalent of setting up the storefront of a physical business. Make it inviting, make it ‘you,’ and you’re already halfway to impressing your future audience.

Step 2: Give your AI style and personality

Once the aesthetics are in place, now’s the time to infuse your AI persona with character. Here’s where we give your AI self a unique world view and personality.

You also choose the coaching style that will emotionally resonate with your users. Coachvox AI makes this process super-simple with a series of sliders to easily set up and tweak the style of your AI coach.

Step 3: Upload training data

Think of this phase as equipping your persona with the ‘what’; the expertise, tips, and advice it will share. The more aligned this data is with your own area of expertise, the more valuable and authentic the coaching or assistance will be.

 

 

There are a couple of different ways you can upload training data to Coachvox AI, but the most straightforward is to add documents to our knowledge base. The software translates your documents into training data automatically.

Step 4: Fine-tune by chatting to your AI self

Now that the foundational elements are set, the real magic happens in the fine-tuning. This is your opportunity to interact with your own AI, see how it responds, and make any necessary adjustments.

What can I do with my AI persona?

There are lots of potential uses for the AI persona you’ve developed.

 

There are three main use cases for Coachvox AI and you can read more about our creators and how they’re using the tool here.

 

The first use case is as a lead magnet on a website. The chat interface gathers leads on your behalf and you can assess the interactions of each prospect to determine if they’re a good fit. You can also share about your AI on social media and in emails to drive traffic there.

 

Second is using it to engage with existing clients or members of your membership group or cohorts. This isn’t just a great way to add value, but it can save you time by handling FAQs. You’ll also get great insights into what your members are struggling with or want to know more about.

 

Third is the ability to charge for access to your AI persona, which is certainly possible if it’s been built to help your audience overcome challenges or reach a goal.
