What is a Neuro Persona?
A Persona is a customizable instruction set that defines how a Neuro agent behaves, communicates, and operates. Instead of using a generic AI assistant, Personas let you configure agents with specific expertise, communication styles, and work preferences tailored to your needs. Think of a Persona as a detailed job description for an AI agent. Just as you’d hire a consultant and give them instructions on how to work with your team, Personas let you “hire” AI agents configured exactly how you want them.Why Use Personas?
