Your Writing Persona

Your persona is the most important part of virentiq.ai. It is how the AI learns to write like you, rather than like every other professional on LinkedIn.

It is a short questionnaire, about ten minutes. The more honest and specific your answers, the better your posts sound.

What a persona actually is

Think of it as a standing set of instructions handed to the AI before it writes anything. It records:

  • Who you are and what you do
  • Who you are talking to when you write
  • How you like to write, short and direct or long and detailed
  • Which topics and which words are off limits
  • What makes your view of your industry different from anyone else's

Every post virentiq.ai writes uses this persona. It is the difference between a post that could have come from anyone and one that could only have come from you.

Without a persona
“The latest trends in digital marketing show that content consistency is key to building an audience.”

Generic. Could be anyone.

With your persona
“Every CRM consultant I know has the same problem: their clients insist on chasing new tools instead of fixing their pipeline. Here is why that is backwards.”

Specific. Unmistakably you.

The ten questions

This is exactly what you will be asked, and why each one is worth answering well.

  1. What is your job title, and how long have you been doing it?

    Why we ask: Sets how much authority the writing can claim in your field.

  2. What industry do you work in?

    Why we ask: Posts get written in the language and context of your sector.

  3. What do you actually do day to day?

    Why we ask: Gives the AI real, specific detail to draw on instead of generic description.

  4. Who are you trying to reach on LinkedIn?

    Why we ask: Your audience sets how formal the writing is, and which problems it addresses.

  5. How would you describe your writing style?

    Why we ask: Direct and punchy, or thoughtful and nuanced. The AI matches your tone.

  6. What topics do you never want to write about?

    Why we ask: Keeps posts away from anything that does not fit your brand or your values.

  7. Are there any words or phrases you want to avoid?

    Why we ask: Keeps posts sounding like you rather than like a buzzword generator.

  8. What is a common misconception about your field you would like to address?

    Why we ask: Creates a steady source of opinion pieces that only you can write.

  9. Should posts open with a hook?

    Why we ask: A strong opening line lifts engagement on LinkedIn. You decide whether you want one.

  10. How long should posts be?

    Why we ask: Short, under 150 words, or long form at 500 and above. Your preference.

Do not overthink the answers. Write the way you would answer if a colleague asked you over coffee. The more natural you are, the better the AI sounds.

Setting it up, and changing it later

Your persona is created during onboarding, on your first sign-in. To change it after that:

  1. In the left sidebar, click Settings.
  2. Go to the section headed Persona.
  3. Edit any answer and click Save.
  4. Posts generated from then on use the updated persona.
Updating your persona does not rewrite posts that have already been drafted. Only posts generated after you save will use the new answers.
