Personas are configured at the project level and bound to an app. Which personas an app may actually use is controlled per app under Syni → Persona allowlist.
Persona types
| Type | Editable? | Source |
|---|---|---|
| default | No (read-only) | Provided by the Synheart Syni service |
| custom | Yes: create, edit, delete | Created by you in this project |
The personas list
Personas appear as cards with a count header and a Refresh action. Each card shows the persona’s name, a type badge (default or custom), a Safety on badge when safety mode is enabled, the unique key in monospace, its description, and its tone. Edit and Delete appear only on custom personas. If the project has no apps yet, the create modal shows “No apps in this project. Create an app first.”Create a persona
Click Create persona and complete the modal:| Form field | Description |
|---|---|
| App | The app this persona belongs to (required) |
| Name | Display name (required) |
| Persona key | Unique key, e.g. my.coach.v1 (required, fixed after creation) |
| Description | What the persona is and how it behaves |
| Tone | The conversational tone |
| Safety mode | Enabled by default; keeps responses within safety guardrails |
Behavioral rules
Optionally add Rules; each rule has a Condition, an Action, and a Description. Use Add rule to add more and Remove to drop one. Empty rules are discarded on save.| Rule field | Description |
|---|---|
| Condition | When the rule applies |
| Action | What the persona should do |
| Description | Human-readable note |
Persona behavior is expressed through description, tone, and rules. The dashboard does not expose a raw system prompt, voice, or avatar; those are not part of the persona model today.
Edit and delete
- Edit: change any field except the persona key, which stays read-only. Editing requires the persona’s app to be known (it’s selected automatically for app-bound personas).
- Delete: “Delete "" ()? This cannot be undone.”
