🚀 Our Vision: Elevate, Automate, Innovate

Elevating our users from everyday tasks to extraordinary possibilities.

💡 The Spark: Recognizing the AI Gap

Persona Studios was founded in early 2023 by Kevin Davis and Andrew McCrow during Antler's startup incubator in Singapore. Recognizing AI as the next big wave in technology, Kevin observed that many new AI startups were facing similar challenges.

“There were companies building AI marketing assistants, AI interior designers, AI mental health coaches, and I could go on. It seemed to me that everyone was trying to solve common problems, such as how to connect their AI assistants across various channels, how to ensure easy and reliable training, how to add multi-lingual capabilities, how to use AI technology to connect to external systems and trigger next actions, etc.”

🤝 A Shared Mission: From Real Estate to AI

Andrew, with over 10 years of experience in business travel and real estate, was exploring an AI assistant to assist property owners to manage their real estate portfolios. This shared interest in AI led them to collaborate and pitch the concept of Persona Studios to Antler, securing initial investment in April 2023.

“I was looking into starting a real estate business that would help owners rent and manage their properties on a short term basis to business and leisure travellers. Of course I was very interested in using AI to automate a lot of the routine property management tasks and was fascinated to hear from Kevin about his concept of building a platform that would enable users to easily create, deploy and manage AI assistants - or personas - across various use cases.”

🏡 The Hacker House: Where Ideas Became Reality

To develop their vision, Kevin and Andrew rented a "Hacker House" in Vung Tau, on the coast of Vietnam, where they were joined by their CTO, Van. After three months of development, they launched their first persona, an AI travel assistant, capable of planning travel itineraries via Facebook Messenger and SMS. This milestone facilitated further investment in August 2023, led by AVV, with participation from 500 Startups and Antler, enabling the expansion of their development team and the establishment of an office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

“As someone who was already toying with AI technology it was very obvious to me that AI was the next big wave of technology so I was very excited to join Kevin, Andrew, and the Persona Studios team who were one of the most innovative AI start-ups in SouthEast Asia”

⚙️ Building the Future: AI That Works for You

Throughout 2024, Persona Studios focused on refining their platform, building out several features such as:

• Integration across multiple communication channels, including a web widget, WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, Slack, Discord and SMS.

• Support for voice and text in over 30 languages.

• A "chat hijack" feature allowing live user interactions.

• Comprehensive training and retraining tools.

• A dashboard providing access to conversation transcripts and analytics.

We also identified a recurring issue of "AI drift" where AI assistants lose focus during extended interactions which was especially problematic for longer conversations like interviews or training sessions. This led us to develop the concept of Agendas. Agendas allow users to break up complex tasks into smaller steps and keep their Persona conversations on rails. To build out this functionality, additional funding was secured in March 2024 from Iterative Ventures.

🚀 What’s Next? AI That Just Works

Today, Persona Studios offers a no-code solution enabling users to create AI assistants - or personas - that automate repetitive conversations, staying true to our long-term vision of building a platform that allows users to rise above everyday tasks to pursue new, extraordinary possibilities.

Recruitment is not just about filling seats—it's about finding the perfect fit for your team. As HR professionals and recruiters, the choices you make today shape the future of your business. But how do you ensure you’re hiring right in a world where competition for talent is fiercer than ever?

Let’s dive into the key strategies to supercharge your hiring process and uncover how automation can give you a decisive edge.

1. Define Your Talent Pool

Before you even draft the job posting, ask yourself: Who fits into the talent pool for your business?

Hiring isn’t just about skills—it’s about alignment. Start by understanding your company culture and the qualities that make current employees successful. Look for candidates who meet the job requirements and resonate with your organisation's values and mission. For example:

• If your company has a fast-paced, innovative environment, you should seek candidates who demonstrate curiosity and a track record of embracing change. 

• On the other hand, a business built on meticulous client service might prioritise candidates with exceptional attention to detail and patience.

Think of it as more than finding an employee—it’s about identifying a teammate!

2. Understand the Competition

Here’s a truth bomb: you’re not only talking to your dream candidate. Multiple companies are courting the best talent; you need to stand out.

Start by researching your competitors:

• What benefits are they offering?

• How are they positioning themselves in the market?

• What unique strengths does your company have that you can highlight?

By understanding who else is vying for your candidate’s attention, you can tailor your pitch to highlight what makes your organisation irresistible.

3. Supercharge Recruitment with AI

Recruitment is as much about efficiency as making the right connections. At Persona Studios, we’ve developed AI assistants that handle first-round interviews so that you can focus on what truly matters - finding the perfect fit for your team. 

Think about it: How much time could you save if your AI assistant handled candidate screening? By automating these early interactions, you can:

• Filter top candidates quickly and efficiently.

• Provide consistent and unbiased initial assessments.

• Free up your time to focus on the deeper aspects of recruitment.

The result? You’re equipped to identify suitable candidates more efficiently, leaving you with a shortlist of individuals who align with the role and your company’s culture. Click here to learn more!

4. Stand Out as a Recruiter

Automation isn’t just about efficiency—it positions your HR team as forward-thinking and innovative. By automating repetitive tasks, you:

• Show candidates you’re innovative and tech-driven solutions.

• Enhance candidate experience for a smooth and professional hiring journey.

• Focus on strategic decision-making rather than administrative tasks.

Automation isn’t just a tool—it’s a signal that your company is future-ready, efficient, and a great workplace.

Final Thoughts: Hire Right, Every Time

Hiring correctly isn’t about luck—it’s about strategy. By clearly defining your talent pool, optimising outreach, understanding your competition, leveraging data, and embracing automation, you set yourself up for success.

With AI tools from Persona Studios, you can turn the hiring process into a seamless, rewarding experience for candidates and recruiters. Let’s face it—the future of hiring is here, and it’s time to step into it.

Are AI assistants taking over YOUR jobs? 🛠️ Are they JUST a passing trend? Are they ONLY for big companies? 💼 These common myths prevent businesses from embracing a powerful tool in the digital age. Let’s debunk these myths and uncover AI assistants’ true potential.

Myth 1: AI Assistants are Taking Over Jobs

Fact: AI assistants allow human employees to focus on more complex and value-driven activities. 💡 They are designed to automate routine tasks, NOT replace human workers! This dynamic enhances productivity and complements human efforts, allowing businesses to operate more efficiently and effectively.

Example: The Sentry, a prominent coworking operator, uses AI assistants to automate customer inquiries and bookings. This frees up the sales team to focus on more complex tasks, improving efficiency WITHOUT replacing human involvement. 🔄

Myth 2: AI Assistants are a Passing Trend and Won’t Last

Fact: They are NOT just a trend; they are evolving rapidly. 📈 Businesses utilizing AI assistants experience a 3x better conversion rate in sales than traditional website forms, highlighting their effectiveness in boosting revenue. 💸 (Ritter, 2023)

Myth 3: Assistants are Only for Big Companies

Fact: Whether you’re a startup or a multinational corporation, AI assistants can be customized to fit your business—be it CRM platforms, messaging apps, or websites. 💬

Example: Relocal, a healthcare recruitment company with fewer than 10 employees, has integrated the AI assistant "Amanda" to automate their international nursing applications. Amanda manages tasks such as application inquiries and job requirements 24/7, allowing Relocal to efficiently handle large volumes of candidates across time zones. 🌐 It proves that AI assistants are NOT just for large enterprises but are valuable tools for SMEs, enhancing efficiency even with small teams.

The Verdict

From improving customer experience to freeing up employees for more complex work, AI assistants offer tangible benefits that enhance efficiency across industries. 🌟 They are here to stay.

So, the next time you hear someone claim that AI is taking over jobs or is just a passing trend, you’ll know the facts: AI assistants are here to empower businesses and employees alike, creating new opportunities and enhancing productivity across the board. 🔧📊

We all know that time is our most valuable resource. But there we were, listening to Antler's team tell us they spent over 100 hours a month just sifting through nearly 500 applications for their Singapore residency. We couldn't help but think there has to be a better way!

Automating First-Round Interviews

So, we rolled up our sleeves at Persona Studios and got to work. Our goal? To take that 100 hours and turn it into… zero. How? By using the Persona Studios platform to build a persona with an interview agenda that automated their initial screening process.

So, if you're feeling buried under repetitive tasks, maybe it's time to see what a little AI automation magic can do for you. Trust me, your future self will thank you. Create your own AI persona now!

Creating an agenda for your AI persona is like building a detailed to-do list that ensures your persona handles tasks smoothly and effectively. Here is a quick guide to getting started:

Step 1: Define Your Objective — What is the Game Plan?

First things first, ask yourself, "What do I want my persona to achieve?" Think of it like planning a trip—you need to know where you are going before you can plan the route. Be specific. The better defined your objective, the smoother your persona's journey will be.

Step 2: Set the Trigger — When Does the Magic Begin?

Your persona needs to know when to jump into action. The trigger is the cue that switches your persona into Agenda mode. For example, if your persona is handling restaurant reservations, the trigger might be "when a customer mentions they want to book a table".

Step 3: Map the Journey — What Are the Agenda Items?

Break down the task into specific steps—these are your "agenda items." Each is a small part of the overall process, like pit stops on a road trip. For instance, if your persona is managing customer reservations, your steps might be: Ask for customer details, provide available options, confirm customer selection, make reservation, send reservation confirmation.

For each agenda item, you can select from a range of agenda item types, such as: Gather, Convey, Debate and Q&A. Each agenda item type is designed with a specific purpose in mind, for example "Gather" enables the collection of information from the user, and the "Q&A" answers the user's questions. By breaking down your agenda into agenda items with specific types you ensure that your conversation flows naturally, the agenda stays on track, and all tasks are completed correctly.

Step 4: Define the Output—Where Does Everything Go?

Finally, decide what happens with the information your persona gathers. Should it be sent to a database, logged into a CRM, or emailed to someone? Perhaps you need your persona to analyze the conversation to extract insights and business intelligence? Define this clearly so your persona knows what to do after completing each task.

Step 5: Save, Deploy, and Relax

Once everything is set, hit publish and let your AI persona get to work. You can always tweak the agenda later based on how things go. With a solid agenda, your persona will handle tasks like a pro, leaving you more time to focus on the bigger picture.

Ready to dive in? Start building your AI Persona and customizable agenda now!

Let's face it: having a solid agenda for your business conversations is a game-changer. It is like having a GPS on a road trip—you would not just jump in the car and hope for the best, right? A business agenda works like that trusty GPS, steering you away from dead ends and keeping the conversation on track.

The Magic of a Good Agenda

Picture this: You are meeting a new client, everything is going smoothly, and then—bam!—you are suddenly deep into a conversation about '80s rock bands. Fun? Sure. Productive? Not so much. This is where a solid agenda steps in, gently nudging you back to the task at hand, like a GPS rerouting you after a wrong turn. It helps you cover all the essential points without getting stuck in a cul-de-sac of nostalgia.

Why Your Persona Needs It

Now, imagine an AI assistant without a clear agenda. The AI might become that one friend who agrees with everything but never actually makes a decision. But with a defined agenda, the AI assistant turns into a pro navigator, making sure your conversations stays on track — whether you are evaluating a new vendor or conducting a first-round interview.

An agenda is not just for big, important meetings. It is a lifesaver for everyday conversations, too, especially if you are juggling a million things at once (or just trying to remember where you left your coffee). The agenda does the heavy lifting, ensuring nothing important slips through the cracks. And do not worry—it is flexible. If that '80s band reunion really needs your attention, the agenda can adapt without a hitch.

Want to Find Out More?

In a world where every conversation counts, do not leave your success to chance. Our customizable agenda builder is your secret weapon for steering your AI persona’s discussions toward your desired outcomes.

Reach out to our Inbound Sales Persona and let us know what your business needs are, our business team will follow up with you to discuss how we can build an agenda for your specific requirements.

Build your ideal AI team member in just a few steps—no coding needed! Name it, train it, and watch it handle tasks like a pro!

Step 1: Set Up the Basics

Think of this as creating a character in a video game. First, log into your Persona Studios account. Then, give your persona a catchy name that also doubles as its web address (e.g., yourname.personastudios.ai). Next, decide its role—customer service rep, sales assistant, or maybe even your scheduling manager. Lastly, pick a communication style that fits your brand: formal or casual, humorous or serious, friendly or formal?

Step 2: Train Your Persona

Now that your persona has a name and role, it is time to feed it some knowledge. Gather up important info—like your website content, product manuals, FAQs, video content — and upload it to the Persona Studios platform.

Step 3: Give It a Voice

Your persona knows its stuff, but how should it sound? You can upload a recording of your voice, clone a voice from YouTube, or pick one from the voice library.

Step 4: Customize Its Appearance

Now, you can customize your persona's appearance by adding your logo and brand colors directly on the Persona Studios platform.

Step 5: Set Up an Agenda

Finally, give your persona the ability to handle specific tasks by adding Agendas. Agendas allow you to build structured conversations that guide users through a specific sequence of steps and then perform pre-defined actions. For example, if you have a recruiting persona, you can add an interview agenda to conduct first-round interviews, assess candidates, and then pass the highest quality applicants to the next round. You can use templates provided by Persona Studios or create your own.

And that is it! Your AI persona is ready to work. Whether answering customer queries, managing bookings, or keeping things running smoothly, your new digital team member is here to help!

AI isn’t just for tech experts. Discover how it’s revolutionizing industries and why your business can’t afford to miss out.

Let’s face it—when most people hear “AI,” they think of robots taking over the world, or at least their jobs. But here’s the thing: AI isn’t some sci-fi fantasy, it’s a powerful tool already transforming businesses in ways that might surprise you.

AI in Action: Transforming Industries, One Task at a Time

Let me tell you how AI quietly works behind the scenes in different industries.

In healthcare, AI is helping doctors diagnose diseases faster by analyzing medical images with incredible precision. Imagine catching a problem before it becomes severe—AI is doing that every day. Over in property management, AI is the unsung hero, automating everything from tenant inquiries to maintenance requests, ensuring everything runs smoothly without the usual headaches.

AI isn’t replacing teachers but assisting them in the education sector, tailoring learning experiences to fit each student’s needs. Think of it like having a personal tutor that never sleeps. In sales and customer support, AI is the friendly face—or voice—that greets your customers, answers questions, and solves real-time problems. No more “please hold” music driving everyone crazy.

AI for Your Business

But here’s the catch—AI isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution. It’s a tool, and like any tool, its effectiveness depends on how you use it. That’s why understanding and integrating its capabilities into your business processes is critical.

The good news? You don’t need to be a tech wizard to make it work. AI has come a long way, and with platforms like Persona Studios that simplify its implementation, you can start reaping the benefits without breaking a sweat.
