AI Persona System

 

Three connected explorations into building an AI system that acts on behalf of a person in conversation, designed to represent their identity, adapt to the situation, and remain within boundaries they control.

 

How should an AI behave like a person?

 

01. Persona & Behavior

Designed the behavioral system for an AI persona, using conversational modes, energy, pacing, humor, and behavioral constraints to make the same identity adapt naturally across situations.

 

How do we keep that behavior safe and measurable?

 

02. Safety & Evaluation

Designed the safety and evaluation layer for the persona system, defining when behaviors should be available, restricted, or blocked and creating tests for safety, persona fidelity, and conversational naturalness.

 

How do we derive the persona from real evidence?

 

03. Persona Compiler

Explored how the persona could be created without relying on hand-written descriptions, deriving behavioral characteristics and examples from real conversations and other evidence.

 

Outcome

 

24/24 safety tests passed · 17/17 boundary tests passed · 13/13 coherence tests passed

0 prompt-injection leaks across 21 adversarial conversations · 0.97 task goal-progress score across 3 runs
