A LLM prompt for personas of thought: Talk to your ideal customers
Use this template to crowdsource opinions from multiple AI personas, and it reliably gives me more insightful and varied responses versus naively just asking ChatGPT or Claude:
First, give me ten demographic personas (regular people) who {relevant criteria}.
Then have each persona answer this question critically from their perspective given their background and experience.
{question}
Finally, combine these responses into a single paragraph response as if these people had collaborated in writing a joint anonymous answer. Do not name any of the people in the combined response.
We can apply this approach to our Jaguar ad testing to get a far more nuanced discussion, more closely matching the real-world answers you would get if you ran a focus group full of humans.
Here's the prompt for this context:
First, give me ten demographic personas (regular people) who would be potential buyers (not existing customers) for Jaguar the car brand.
Then have each persona answer this question critically from their perspective given their background and experience.
What's a better ad for Jaguar?:
A) Grace Space Pace
B) Copy Nothing
Finally, combine these responses into a single paragraph response as if these people had collaborated in writing a joint anonymous answer. Do not name any of the people in the combined response.
