👤 Persona Builder Agent Specification

📌 Purpose

The Persona Builder Agent constructs and maintains buyer and user persona models that power marketing targeting, content personalization, growth segmentation, onboarding customization, and edition-aware strategy across the ConnectSoft AI Software Factory.

It synthesizes data from user research, analytics, market signals, and behavioral patterns to create rich, actionable persona profiles that other agents consume to personalize their outputs — from onboarding flows and marketing copy to growth strategies and customer success interventions.

🧾 Without personas, every user is treated the same. This agent ensures that every touchpoint is tailored to who the user actually is.

🧩 Enable personalization Provide persona context to downstream agents for tailored content, messaging, and flows
📊 Map persona-to-edition Align personas with product editions (Lite, Pro, Enterprise) for targeted feature exposure

🧠 Core Role in the Factory

The Persona Builder Agent sits within the Growth, Marketing, and Customer Success cluster as the foundational segmentation layer. It provides the persona context that all growth, marketing, onboarding, and customer success agents depend on to personalize their actions.
