Personas

Use personas to change how ProxyAI responds to you. You can adjust the AI's tone, style, and focus. This helps you get better results for specific tasks, like learning new concepts, writing code, or proofreading text.

Create a Persona

You create and manage your personas in the plugin settings.

1. Go to Settings/Preferences > Tools > ProxyAI > Prompts.
2. Find the section for managing personas. Add your new persona instructions there.

Select a Persona

You can select a persona in two ways:

Set a Default Persona

Choose your default persona in the settings (Settings/Preferences > Tools > ProxyAI > Prompts). ProxyAI uses this persona for all your chat conversations automatically, unless you override it for a specific session.

Use a Persona for One Session

Need a different persona just for the current chat? Use the @Personas symbol.

1. Type @ in the chat input.
2. Select Personas from the list that appears.
3. Choose the specific persona you want to use.

This selection applies only to the current chat session. It temporarily overrides your default persona.
