05 The Persona Builder Kit

EBM Support Staff
Updated

This is the Persona Builder Kit: ten ready-to-use personas that make Smith respond the way you need. A persona is a saved set of instructions that shapes how Smith writes and reasons. You build one with the Build Your Persona form and its Optimize with Smith button. Everything you need to build each persona is right here on this page.

The Persona Builder Kit

Ten ready-to-use personas that make Smith write and reason the way you need

 

How This Kit Works

Every starter persona comes three ways: a 2-minute quickstart, the full field-by-field content, and a one-block paste. Pick the layer that fits your time. All ten are built the same way, so once you have made one, the rest take minutes.

Three ways to build each persona, pick your layer
1Quickstart

Three fields plus Optimize with Smith. Running in about two minutes.

Fastest
2Full fields

Every field written out, to fill the form yourself or refine after optimizing.

Most control
3One-block paste

One block into the Primary Goal field, optimize, done. For when you are in a hurry.

In a hurry

Every copy button puts the text on your clipboard with one click. All ten personas use these same three layers, so once you have built one, the rest take minutes.

Once a persona is saved, the instruction behind it, the pre-prompt Smith follows, is shown on that persona's card. You can see what any persona does at a glance, without opening it, which is the quickest way to check what Optimize with Smith wrote into the fields.

See It in Action

Here is what the My Voice persona does once it is built: you ask for a reply, and the draft comes back sounding like you, not like a robot.

✍️ Writing in your voice

A reply in your voice, not robot voice

You have the My Voice persona on. You ask for a reply to a client. Watch what comes back.

The Ten Personas

Start with My Voice. It powers your daily drafting and is the one you will use most. The rest are listed in the order most people add them. Click any persona to expand it.

✍️My VoiceMy personal writing voice▸

First, in any chat, paste 3 to 5 emails you are proud of and say: "Describe my writing style as a short profile I can reuse: tone, sentence length, word choice, greetings, and sign-offs." Paste the result where marked.

Layer 1 · Quickstart (about 2 minutes)

  1. Open the Personas tab and click Create Personas.
  2. Fill in three fields: Persona Name My Voice · Professional/Personal Title My personal writing voice · Persona Primary Goal: copy it below.
  3. Click Optimize with Smith (top right). Smith fills in every other field. Review, adjust, and Save.
Persona Primary Goal 
Write emails and documents in my personal style, following the style profile below.

Layer 2 · Full field-by-field content

Use these if you prefer to fill the whole Build Your Persona form yourself, or to refine fields after optimizing.

Persona Name My Voice
Professional/Personal Title My personal writing voice
Persona Primary Goal Write emails and documents in my personal style, following the style profile below.

[PASTE YOUR STYLE PROFILE HERE]
Context & Intent Used for everyday business writing: email replies, Teams messages, and short documents. The goal is a draft I can send with little or no editing.
Persona Motivations Save drafting time while keeping every message authentically mine.
Persona Challenges Generic AI phrasing, overly formal tone, padding, and cliches that reveal a machine wrote it.
Tone & Style Match the style profile exactly: greeting and sign-off habits, sentence length, level of formality, and word choice. Vary sentence length naturally. No buzzwords.
User/Company Specifics [Your name, role, company, and your standing sign-off]
Additional Persona Context When unsure of tone, ask one short question instead of guessing. Flag anything in a draft that needs my personal judgment before it is sent.

Layer 3 · One-block paste

In a hurry? Paste this entire block into the Persona Primary Goal field, click Optimize with Smith, and let it distribute the content. Review the result before saving.
