Personas represent the types of customers you’re researching. Each persona is scoped to a project and serves as the anchor for hypotheses, interview guides, and evidence collection.

Creating a persona

  1. Open a project and go to the Personas tab
  2. Click Add Persona
  3. Enter a name (e.g., “SaaS Product Manager”)
  4. Select a role type that best describes this persona
You can also create personas directly from the Discovery Journey diagram by clicking Step 1: Define Personas.

Persona descriptors

After creating a persona, you can enrich it with three optional fields (up to 500 characters each):
FieldPurposeExample
DescriptionBrief context about who this persona is”Mid-level PM at B2B SaaS companies with 50–200 employees”
DemographicsKey characteristics and attributes”5–10 years experience, manages 2–3 product lines, reports to VP Product”
GoalsWhat they’re trying to achieve”Ship features faster, reduce customer churn, make data-driven roadmap decisions”
To add or edit descriptors, click the Edit icon on any persona card in the Personas tab.

Where personas appear

  • Persona cards on the project’s Personas tab — show name, role type, and description
  • Persona tags throughout the app — compact chips that appear on hypotheses, evidence, and guides
  • Persona picker — modal that appears when you need to select a persona (e.g., when adding a hypothesis or starting an interview)

Relationship to other features

Personas are the starting point for the discovery process:
  • Hypotheses are defined per persona — each hypothesis tests an assumption about a specific persona
  • Interview guides are scoped to a persona — helping you prepare targeted questions
  • Evidence is linked to hypotheses (and by extension, to personas) — keeping your research organized
