Personas

At the core of our AI tooling are our models, as explained before. But what are personas? And what is the difference between a persona and a model?

In ScaiWave, an AI persona is a virtual character or agent. These personas have specific purposes, such as a language assistant, a coding assistant, or other specialized functions. Interaction with a persona can done be directly by the user through a chat interface, or by a machine to machine interface, depending on the purpose of the persona.

A Persona is based on a model, but then extends on that model by further specifingspecifying the functioningdesired offunctionality theand AI.behavior. This is done in several ways. First of allall, there is the system prompt, a set of instructions that tells the model how we want it to react, how it must behavebehave, and that contains any specific instructions for that persona.

Next to the system prompt we can also tweak the temperature and Top P settings that, in a nutshell, determines how "creative" and "free" the model can be. Lastly we can add additional knowledge or capabilities (in the form of vector databases and LORA's) that extend the model's functionality.

The platform provides several pre-defined personas, but you can also create and customize your own personas using the Persona University app.
