Architecture

Three categories. Thirty dimensions.

Every persona is a configuration of trait scores across three output categories. Combined, they give 10 Billion+ realistic variations.

Category 01

Sound

How they speak. Tempo, pitch, breathiness, pause patterns, vocal confidence, articulation, rhythm. The prosody that makes a voice feel real — and shifts under pressure.

Category 02

Identity

Who they are. Cultural background, language, faith, socioeconomic context, accessibility needs, gender, age, employment context. The lived reality behind the conversation.

Category 03

State of mind

What they're feeling. Trust, urgency, anxiety, defensiveness, grief, scepticism, cognitive load. Dials up and down in real time as the conversation unfolds.

Persona builder

Twelve sections. The inputs you control.

Build a persona by selecting from each section. Behind the scenes, your selections map to scored traits across Sound, Identity and State of Mind — automatically.

In practice

Same engine. Every sector.

Three personas, three verticals. The same engine that powers a clinical OSCE also powers a contact-centre vulnerability scenario and an AMEP workplace English session.

Three modes

Use ours. Tune ours. Build with us.

Match the depth of governance to the depth of your need. Same engine. Different paths in.

Mode 01

Validated library

Ready-to-use personas, signed off by sector experts and lived-experience reviewers. Best for getting started fast in scenarios that match common practice.

Sector-expert reviewed
Lived-experience signed off
Updates published quarterly
Available across all eight verticals
Mode 02

Customised

Tune existing personas to your context — region, dialect, demographic profile, accessibility needs. Same governance pathway, your specifics.

Adjust input selections, not raw traits
Region- and accent-specific tuning
Custom safeguards layered in
Approval workflow for high-stakes use
Mode 03

Co-created

Build new persona–scenario combinations with us, under formal governance. For high-stakes contexts where lived experience must inform the design.

Workshops with your subject experts
Lived-experience advisors involved
Cultural safety review where relevant
Published only with explicit consent
Real-time adaptation

Personas respond to how you speak.

A persona isn't a script that plays back. State of Mind shifts as the conversation unfolds — based on what the learner actually does. Use jargon and trust drops. Validate their loss and they share the real reason. The engine reacts in real time.

This is what closes the gap between practice and real life. Real people don't follow a script either.

Live trait response · Margaret
If you use jargon cognitive load · trust
If you interrupt her defensiveness · she shuts down
If you slow down and explain anxiety · trust
If you validate her lossshe shares "the secret"
If you act patronising trauma response · she withdraws
If you signpost next steps impatience · agreeableness
Voice & accent

10,000+ voices. Twelve accent regions. One that sounds like home.

Practising with a generic AI voice is practising with no-one. Attuniq partners with the leading voice marketplace so every persona has a voice that matches their identity profile.

For sector-specific personas, voice cloning is available with as little as 15 minutes of source audio.

Anti-positioning

What the persona engine is not.

Six things people sometimes assume. Six things we are explicit about not being.

Not a chatbot

A chatbot has a tone slider. Our engine configures across 30 trait dimensions in three categories — and adapts those traits in real time.

Not an AI roleplay tool for sales

The category most adjacent to ours is sales productivity. We are not that. We are scenario-based assessment infrastructure for high-stakes communication.

Not a black box

Every score traces to an explicit rubric. Every trait setting is auditable. Where personas are sensitive, governance is documented.

Not a hiring product

Recruitment screening is offered with mandatory human review pathways. The engine never makes a hiring decision. It produces evidence; humans decide.

Not a content authoring tool

Authoring exists, but in service of the assessment. We are an assessment-grade engine first; the scenario builder is the input layer, not the product.

Not generic AI

Every trait, every scoring rubric, every persona is grounded in evidence and lived experience. The engine is purpose-built for human-services contexts.
