Personas

Give the agent a role that fits the work.

Define how the agent should work, what it should know, what it can use, and where its boundaries are. That is the Persona you bring into a Direct Agent chat, a managed Smart Agent such as Hosted OpenClaw, or a purpose-built Agent Application.

Create a Persona

What stays with a Persona.

Keep the agent's role, selected source material, and available capabilities in a reusable Persona.

Role and behavior

Define the role, biography, tone, responsibilities, and working style.

Knowledge Collections

Attach named Collections so the agent starts with the right source material.

Skills and Tools

Choose the capabilities available to the Persona in IKE.

Versions and restore

Review earlier Persona versions and restore one when needed.

Create a persona

Create a persona in three clear steps.

IKE guides you through building a grounded, role-accurate AI persona.

Define the persona

Set the name, role, biography, responsibilities, domain focus, and core skills so the persona reflects a clear professional context.

Attach knowledge collections

Upload documents, notes, captures, and structured files, organize them into named Collections, and select the material the Persona should use. Check important answers against the sources.

Set traits and guardrails

Choose tone, reasoning style, approved MCP skills, and operating principles. IKE generates an initial profile you can refine to match your expectations. Next, put the Persona to work in IKE chat or managed OpenClaw. For a task that needs its own workflow, we build an Agent Application with you.

Direct Agent

Put your Persona to work in chat.

Open a chat and Direct Agent puts your Persona to work with its role, knowledge, skills, tools, and permissions. IKE runs it on a shared, on-demand service. Each run follows your account's access rules and uses your Persona and conversation context. IKE saves your chats so you can pick them up later. Available to registered users at no cost.

Smart Agent

Give your agent a managed framework of its own.

Give the same Persona dedicated resources running an agent framework that Ikentic hosts and manages. Start with Hosted OpenClaw, the first Smart Agent available: a full OpenClaw installation with its tools, skills, channels, memory, and sessions. IKE connects you to OpenClaw sessions so you can chat from the workspace. Your Persona connects the framework to the role, knowledge, and boundaries your work needs. Available with Professional.

First Smart Agent available

Hosted OpenClaw

Use a full OpenClaw installation with its tools, skills, channels, memory, and sessions. Ikentic manages the installation and provides IKE authentication and shared access.

FAQ

Questions about Ikentic Personas.

What is an Ikentic Persona?

A Persona keeps an agent’s role, instructions, Knowledge Collections, Skills, and Tools together so you can reuse them.

How is a Persona different from a prompt?

A prompt supplies instructions for an interaction. A Persona saves the role, instructions, Knowledge, and Tools you want to use across chats.

Where can I use an Ikentic Persona?

Chat with your Persona in IKE for free, or use it with Hosted OpenClaw through Professional. A Design Partnership can include Personas in a knowledge application or an existing product, guided by the domain method and human-owned intents.

Do I need IKE Professional to create a Persona?

No. Create Personas and chat with them on the Free plan within its block allowance. Plus adds room for saved work and Persona sharing. Professional adds managed OpenClaw. See plans and your current allowance in IKE billing.

Ontology

Persona (ike.entity.persona): Reusable operating instructions for agents and Agent Applications in IKE: role, behavior, tone, boundaries, default Collections, and default Skills.
Collection (ike.entity.collection): Named set of documents and other knowledge that can be assigned to a Persona in IKE.
Skill (ike.entity.skill): Reusable capability or instruction package available to an agent under explicit operating boundaries.
Tool (ike.entity.tool): Executable capability available to an agent when it is configured in IKE.
Permission (ike.entity.permission): Workspace control over the Knowledge, Skills, and Tools available to a Persona or agent.
Direct agent (ike.product.direct_agent): Agent path that lets registered users start a Persona at no cost on IKE's separate, shared, on-demand Direct Agent service, scoped to the signed-in user, tenant, Persona, and chat, while IKE preserves the conversation for later reopening.
Smart agent (ike.product.smart_agent): Agent path available with IKE Professional that runs a selected managed agent framework on dedicated resources that Ikentic hosts and operates, with framework-native sessions and capabilities beyond the browser connection.
Agent application (ike.product.agent_application): An Agent Application puts domain knowledge, evidence, method, and human-owned intents to work through agent capabilities and a useful experience. Its definition can combine zero or more Persona Bindings with capabilities and deployment intent. Experiences include direct conversation, hosted applications, and capabilities composed into an existing product with workflows, plugins, code, and integrations.
