Creating customer personas with AI

When you sell to 'everyone,' you sell to no one. Pros build one detailed fake customer (their persona) and aim every post and product at that person. AI is great at fleshing out personas with realistic details.

Some examples

• 'Build a persona for a 14-year-old skater who buys custom decks.'
• 'Add their daily routine, what apps they use, what they hate.'
• 'What would make this person actually click my product?'
• 'What's a deal-breaker that would make them scroll past me?'

Try it!

Pick something you sell or want to sell. Ask AI to create one super-specific persona for it. Use that persona to rewrite your bio.

Practice this safely

Try this with a school, hobby, or family example where the stakes are low. Use the AI output as a draft you can question, not as the final answer.

1. 1Ask AI to explain personas in plain language, then underline anything that sounds uncertain or too broad.
2. 2Give it one detail from "Creating customer personas with AI" and ask for two possible next steps plus one reason each step might be wrong.
3. 3Check marketing against a trusted source, teacher, adult, expert, or original document before you use it.
