Overview
Your AI Persona defines how AI communicates throughout your LightSpeed VT system. It shapes the voice, style, personality, and behavioral priorities used across content generation and learner facing AI tools.
Configure it once to keep AI generated content aligned with your brand, audience, and training goals.
Why it matters: LightSpeed VT's AI tools use your AI Persona to create a more consistent experience across your system. From writing course descriptions to answering Learner questions, your AI stays aligned with the voice and guidance you define.
What Gets Configured
Your AI Persona includes two key components: Persona and Instructions. Together, they define who your AI is and how it should respond.
Persona
Who the AI is.
The Persona defines the AI's style, personality, and voice. It determines whether your AI feels warm or formal, motivating or direct, conversational or instructional.
A well defined Persona helps AI generated content feel consistent with your brand and appropriate for your learners.
Instructions
What the AI does.
Instructions define the guidelines and priorities your AI follows. They tell the AI what to emphasize, what to avoid, and how to approach interactions with your users.
These instructions help keep responses focused on your training goals and business needs.
| Persona | Instructions | |
|---|---|---|
| Defines | Who the AI is | What the AI does |
| Controls | Style, tone, personality | Behavior, priorities, guardrails |
| Example | "Warm, encouraging, coach-like" | "Keep responses focused on Course content and avoid unrelated topics" |
Where Your AI Persona Applies
Once configured, your AI Persona automatically supports LightSpeed VT AI tools such as:
- AI Ghost Writer for Category and Course descriptions and custom page content
- AI Test Question Generator for creating assessments from Chapter videos

How to Configure Your AI Teaching Assistant
Navigate to System Management → AI Settings (top navigation bar), then select the AI Persona section.
You have three ways to configure your AI Persona.
Option 1: Use the Default
No setup is required.
If you do not customize your AI Persona, your system uses LightSpeed VT's built in general purpose Persona and AI Instructions. The default is designed to work across a wide range of industries and training programs.
Best for: Teams that want to start using AI tools immediately without additional configuration.
Option 2: Auto Generate Your AI Persona
Recommended for most teams.
Under AI Persona, select Auto Generate to launch a short guided questionnaire about your brand, audience, communication style, and training goals.
Based on your answers, LightSpeed VT creates a customized Persona and set of Instructions for you. No prompt writing or AI expertise is required.
To auto generate your setup:
- Go to System Management > AI Settings.
- Select AI Persona,
- Select Auto Generate under AI Persona and Complete Setup.
- Answer the questions about your brand, audience, voice, and training goals.
- Save your changes.
Your new settings are then available to supported AI tools throughout your system.
Option 3: Create Your Own
For complete control, enter your own Persona and AI Instructions.
This option lets you define the exact voice, personality, priorities, and guidelines your AI follows.
Best for: Teams with established brand standards, AI guidelines, or specific instructional requirements.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I update my AI Persona after the initial setup?
Yes. Return to System Management → AI Settings → AI Persona t any time to update your Persona or AI Instructions.
Does changing my AI Persona affect existing content?
No. Updated settings apply when generating new AI content. Content that was previously generated remains unchanged.
What if I complete the questionnaire but want to make manual edits afterward?
After the questionnaire generates your Persona and Instructions, you can edit either field directly before saving — or return later via the custom setup option.
Do all AI features use my AI Persona
Most content generation and Learner facing AI tools use your AI Persona.
AI SnapScribe (caption and summary generation) operates independently from these settings and can be toggled on/off separately under AI Settings → Preferences.
