What Are Personas?
A persona is a fictional character that represents your target audience. The persona has distinct tones, styles, and characteristics.
For example, if you’re a yoga podcaster, your target audience is females looking to build flexibility and fitness.
You can train ChatGPT with the particular persona you want. So, the AI adopts this voice when generating content. This helps create a consistent and authentic experience for your audience.
Setting a persona allows you to write in a voice that resonates with the audience you’re targeting. This will help you generate content that’s more relevant and engaging.
Toasty AI comes with a lot of persona you can choose from. You can find them for categories like:

I’m a yoga podcaster and my listeners are yoga enthusiasts who want to learn more about yoga and advanced techniques. I’ll give you the persona of my listeners so you can tailor the results based on it. I’ll also give you the template to generate the podcast episode structure. I’ll need you to use the persona and template to create the podcast episode structure for me.
