People / Persona — v1 (Detect & Profile)
Product DevelopmentThis roadmap item outlines the development of the initial version of the People/Persona feature, aimed at enhancing Cortex's ability to recognize and profile individuals from notes and connector-synced data. The primary goal of v1 is to implement the "Detect & Profile" functionality, allowing the system to automatically identify names and create persona records without user confirmation for structured data (e.g., Gmail headers, Calendar attendees).
The personas will be stored as a new neuron kind, enabling seamless integration with existing infrastructure for search, history, and sharing. The detection process will utilize both structured connector data and LLM NER to identify potential candidates for persona creation, which users can confirm or reject easily.
Key features of this release include:
Automatic persona creation from Gmail and Calendar data.
Candidate identification from note bodies using LLM NER.
A unified view of persona records across the app, with visual cues for detected names in notes.
An activity timeline and editable persona details, with support for merging and managing duplicates.
Future enhancements, such as @mention autocomplete and tone-of-voice AI assistance, will be planned for subsequent phases. This phased approach ensures that foundational capabilities are established before expanding the feature set.
