Create your own demo persona

Instead of picking a ready-made demo student, you can describe your own — Latte generates a matching set of friends, classes, calendar, and chats around your description.

Before you start

You need to be on the demo persona picker — see Try the demo for how to get there with a Demo access key.

  1. On the persona picker, click Create your own.

  2. In Describe your persona, write a few sentences about who they are — what they study, where they live, and what they care about.

  "id": "web.getting-started.create-a-custom-persona.describe-dialog",
  "platform": "web",
  "route": "/sandbox",
  "actions": [
    {
      "unauthenticated": true
    },
    {
      "fill": {
        "testId": "sandbox-key",
        "value": "${DEMO_ACCESS_KEY}"
      }
    },
    {
      "tapOn": {
        "testId": "sandbox-key-submit"
      }
    },
    {
      "tapOn": {
        "testId": "persona-create-own-button"
      }
    }
  ],
  "clip": {
    "testId": "sandbox-create-persona-dialog",
    "pad": 16
  }
}

  3. Click Generate persona.

  4. Latte drafts the persona and seeds the sandbox — you'll see it inventing friends, activities, and a calendar. When it finishes, you're dropped into the app as your invented student.

tip

The more specific your description, the better the result. "A second-year medical student in Boston who runs a chamber-music ensemble and is preparing for board exams" gives Latte far more to work with than "a busy student".
