FAQ: Understanding Roles vs. Profiles in Cenario.ai

1. What is the difference between a Role and a Profile in Cenario.ai?

In Cenario.ai, both Roles and Profiles are used to create detailed and realistic personas, but they serve different purposes and complement each other within scenarios:

  • Roles are functional personas that represent specific behaviors, responsibilities, or functions within a scenario. They define how a character behaves or interacts and are tailored for particular situations. For instance, a role might be "Customer Service Agent" or "Curious Student."

  • Profiles, on the other hand, contain personal and demographic attributes, such as name, age, background, and personality traits. They give a persona its unique identity and characteristics. Think of profiles as the detailed personal background of a persona, such as "Alice, 35, Marketing Manager, empathetic and inquisitive."

Roles can be associated with Profiles to create a complete persona for a scenario—giving that persona both the function they perform (Role) and their unique personal attributes (Profile).

2. Why are Roles and Profiles separate?

Separating Roles and Profiles allows for greater flexibility and reusability within scenarios. You can:

  • Reuse Profiles across different scenarios with different roles. For instance, "Alice" can play the role of a customer in one scenario and a trainer in another.

  • Create Multiple Roles that can be paired with any profile. This allows you to quickly adapt and design dynamic scenarios by mixing and matching roles and profiles.

3. How do Roles and Profiles work together?

To create a persona within a scenario, you need to associate a Role with a Profile:

  • Roles define what a persona does (their purpose, actions, or responsibilities).

  • Profiles add personal and demographic depth, making the persona feel more real.

For example, you might assign the role of "Project Manager" to a profile named "John." This pairing means that within a scenario, "John" will act and communicate like a project manager, using the characteristics defined by his profile.

4. Can I edit or customize Roles and Profiles?

Yes, Cenario.ai gives you complete control over creating and customizing both Roles and Profiles:

  • Roles can be edited to refine responsibilities or adjust how they function in a scenario.

  • Profiles can be updated to reflect changes in demographic or personal details.

This flexibility is important as it ensures that your scenarios stay relevant and realistic, evolving with new information.

5. What is the purpose of a Default Role assignment in Profiles?

When creating or managing Profiles, you have the option to assign a Default Role. This helps streamline scenario creation by automatically pairing a profile with a suitable role. For example, if "Emma" is a profile with a professional background in healthcare, you could set a default role like "Nurse" to quickly integrate her into relevant healthcare scenarios.

6. How do I manage multiple Roles and Profiles?

Cenario.ai provides two interactive dashboards to help you manage Roles and Profiles effectively:

  • Roles Dashboard: This interface allows you to create, edit, delete, search roles. It’s a centralized place to manage all the roles needed for your scenarios.

  • Profiles Dashboard: Here, you can create detailed profiles, add visual elements, and manage all your personas. You can also search, edit, or delete profiles as needed, ensuring that your list of personas stays organized and relevant.
