A Persona is a record whose markdown is a system prompt, plus an avatar, role, default model, and optional questions. Drop it on the canvas and it becomes a prewired group — a bound record feeding a Gen Text node — that runs as a mini-app.
Where: flowGen → left rail → Assets → Records (New ▾ → Persona to create one) — Open the persona picker, then pick or create a persona
Key ideas
- Persona fields: Avatar (emoji or uploaded/picked image), role, department, a default model, a prompt mode (Replace or Append), and optional clarifying questions. The markdown body is the persona's system prompt.
- The prewired group: Adding a persona to the canvas drops a group frame containing a bound Record (read) node wired into a Gen Text node's system prompt. The group exposes a "Task / Brief" input, one input per clarifying question, and a "Result" output, so it runs on its own like a small app.
- Default model & prompt mode: The persona's default model pre-selects the Gen Text model; prompt mode decides whether the persona prompt replaces or appends to the node's system prompt.
- Save as persona: You can promote an existing group — or a selected Record + Gen Text pair — into a durable, org-scoped Persona record from the canvas menu.
Steps
- Open the Assets tab in the left rail and go to Records to find your personas.
- Search your personas and click one to drop its prewired group on the canvas — or click "New persona…" to create one inline (name, avatar, role, model, system prompt) and add it in one step.
- On the dropped group, fill the "Task / Brief" (and any clarifying-question inputs) and run it; the answer comes out of the "Result" output.
- To capture a persona you built by hand, select its group (or a Record + Gen Text pair) and choose "Save as persona" — it becomes a reusable org-scoped Persona record.
- To edit a persona later, open it from the Records section and adjust its fields, prompt, or questions.
FAQ
What does dropping a persona actually create?
A group frame with a bound Record (read) node feeding a Gen Text node. The record supplies the system prompt; the group exposes a Task/Brief input, per-question inputs, and a Result output.
Where do the clarifying questions show up?
Each question you add to the persona becomes an input field on the dropped group card, so the group can ask for what it needs before it runs.
